Medical Marijuana User Fired After Failing Drug Test. Huh?


Luke Veze, a Colorado man who smokes medical marijuana to help with his chronic stomach pain, has just lost his job because he failed a drug test. It's complicated. According to KKTV, Luke thought he was in compliance because he had a doctor's recommendation to use medical marijuana. The drug policy under which he was employed prohibits the use of illegal drugs, but over the counter drugs and those properly prescribed by a physician are not subject to the policy. In Colorado medical marijuana is legal. Still, when Luke failed his drug test his employer placed him on administrative leave.
