What are the odds that pedophiles will be a protected class in California by 2025? Let me put it this way, I wouldn’t bet against it.
But one thing at a time. Drug users are first in line. Behind Islamic terrorists, drag queens and just ahead of people who vandalize classical art while screaming that the planet is about to explode.
California employees will soon officially have protections from discrimination based on their use of cannabis or marijuana while off the clock and away from the workplace.
The new protections come from an amendment to California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (AB 2188) which was approved by Governor Gavin Newsom on Sept. 18, 2022, and goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2024. The bill makes it unlawful for an employer to not hire, penalize, or terminate a person based on their use of cannabis products outside of work.
Just in case you were worried that your bus driver or heart surgeon is wiping out his brain cells and impulse control on a regular basis. But we can’t leave it here, what about the cocaine and meth users? Drug civil rights must apply to everyone.
Within a decade we went from workforce drug testing to drugs being a protected employment category.
Then again the only things that aren’t protected employment categories in California are being a white man or a conservative.
In California, you can be fired for refusing to wear a BLM badge, but you can’t be fired for being high.
The political class protects itself. It’s not as if anyone in Sacramento state government isn’t high all the time.
Leftists protect themselves.
Is it time?

Heroin and Fentanyl users have rights too!
So people can get a CDL in California and smoke pot in their off time? Keep your distance from those big rigs if you can. Lots of big rigs do long hauls.
Fentanyl laced weed needs some protection too. /s
Would it matter if it was? As if anyone is going to deal with the filth that rules much of our country.
The only class that will never be protected is the straight white Christian gun loving male
He has his own protection anyway.
There are however federal laws that supersede California laws regarding drug use. Use of cannabis etc. may be legal in many states but it is not at the federal level. An individual who is certified or licenses to work on US flagged merchant ships can lose his or her merchant marine documents and license if she or he tests positive for cannabis etc.
Don’t forget car jackers Gavin
There is nothing more useless than a junkie
This will also (further) open the door to group homes for drug users being allowed into residential neighborhoods.
Great idea! How about drug pushers???
More insanity from CaliFUBAR
What an evil cesspool the once beautiful state of CA, has become.
This minion just keeps pushing Satan’s agenda, more and more, each day.
Well look at the good side. California will now become a magnet for all the druggies and perverts in the country giving (hopefully) a reprieve to the rest of the US.
BUT DON’T BET THE FARM ON IT!
California Adds Drug Users as a Protected Class
As they call them voters even if they don’t vote.
California’s government is on drugs
