Getting laid off for drug use might seem pretty understandable, but a man in Michigan was fired from his job at Walmart for using medical marijuana to relieve pain from an inoperable brain tumor and sinus cancer. He had to submit to a mandatory drug test after an on-the-job injury, and tested positive. After he took legal action, Walmart said it was sympathetic, but didn’t back down.
Do you think Walmart has the right to fire someone because they smoke medical marijuana? Our gut tells us no, but what if the pot causes poor job performance?
