I wonder how many jobs would be saved as well....#randomdrugtest#Originally Posted by JuBru
Only if the feds give up their power... guess the odds of that happening? Just try imagining the money created or saved.(but really, think about it)
I wonder what the percentage is for termination due to failed drug test...?
Could a company still fire you for failing a test...?
Sure.

In a skinny second.
Yeah they could, just like they can fire you for being drunk currently.
If you smoke on Thursday you wont be high on Friday... You can be fired for being drunk on the job but you cant be fired for drinking on your own time... If you are not high on the job you shouldnt be fired...
You can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, as long as you are not fired for a protected reason (e.g., race, sex, whistleblowing). Edit: or if your employment is NOT at-will.

You might not be high, but you will test positive. Drugs are illegal. Drinking isn't, unless you are under age.
Not in this scenario... Marijuana is legal... Thats why I was asking if a company could fire you for smoking...
You CAN be fired for drinking on your own time unless your employment is not at-will.

If your employment was at will you would just be fired...they would not specify that you were fired for drinking... that would be dumb on the employers part to specify that you were fired for drinking... you can only be fired for drinking if it is in your employment contract....

"Some legal scholars and policy analysts say the government will not be able to require California to help in enforcing the federal marijuana ban if the state legalizes the drug. Without assistance from the state's legions of narcotics officers, they say, federal agents could do little to curb marijuana in California."
"Even though a federal ban is still in place and the federal government can enforce it, it doesn't mean the states have to follow suit," said Robert Mikos, a Vanderbilt University law professor who recently published a paper about the issue."
The DEA will be raiding the crap outta that state though.
Wrong, wrong, and wrong!
You damned well better put the precise reason you let someone go, even if it is at-will employment. At-will doesn't mean they won't sue or visit the EEOC!
Most people don't have an employment agreement, but if an employer has a reasonable policy pertaining to drinking...and you violate the policy...you will be fired! Just did it last week!
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
