Maybe they would be less surly.
Hell NO!! It is against federal law!!
In Colorado, any employer can fire an employee for marijuana use, assuming that is against company policy.
Federal workers also include anyone who has a federal contracts. Have run into this issue, with medical marijuana workers losing their jobs because the company had federal contracts.
IMHO.
Federal law still considers pot use to be a violation of US federal law.
Don’t use if a federal govt employee.
(Supremacy Clause)
I am very wary of any federal worker NOT under influence of any drug.
Nope, though I have suspected many already were either “smoking something or where high on other mind altering drugs!”
There’s not a single square foot of the 50 states or the District of Columbia where it’s legal.
Nope. They’re dumb enough.
Is it actually a federal crime to consume marijuana. I know produce and sell but solely consume?
Any employer can make and enforce rules about employees using drugs on and off duty. They can test for them and make positive test results a cause for termination.
This applies to any type of drugs including some prescriptions drugs.
Druggies are not a protected class of employees under anti discrimination laws.
“can your employer fire you for failing a drug test even if you were only using marijuana in off work hours? “
Where I work, people have been fired for being injured on the job, with THC in their system.(I do not know the level at which you fail the wizz test) All claimed it was from the night before or 2nd hand smoke. They still get workman’s comp. until healed up.
Colorado.
I say each state should legalize it and tax the piss out of it. Take a look at Colorado finances - they have collected more taxes than what they know what to do with. They also can’t make refunds because direct deposits can’t be made to federally insured bank accounts nor can checks be issued and subsequently deposited in federally insured banks. Perhaps they were smarter than what we gave them credit for....
Not at work and if they’re under the influence they should be fired. Certain jobs also should require abstinence from pot smoking... Air traffic control, armed personnel etc.
Maybe just right at their desks at the DMV. It couldn’t really get worse.
“Should federal workers be able to smoke pot where it’s legal?”
If the federal workers have good lungs, can get the doobie lit, and know how to inhale and exhale then they should be able to smoke pot where it’s legal, and where it’s illegal, and anywhere else. Seriously how hard is it to smoke pot?
No for various reasons such be it first against Federal law and because it incapacitates them from gun ownership and access to job related information baseed on Security clearances. Finally it is different from alcohol which dispates one ounce per hour, but pot lingers for weeks or longer thus many people with ADD / ADHD become mentally diminished by their usage. Weed unlike racial and gender preferences is thus incapable of being regulated by simply making laws.
Unless they have a certain level security clearance, they cannot be drug tested....not likely to be “punished” for smoking pot unless they really try hard to be especially noticed.
