Possession of Marijuana

I don't know the answer to this but I'd like to see how this plays out. Are you letting the driver go?

 

Your company?

You already are ahead of the game, he is a cancer patient and has a medical card. Now Im stretching to assume that this is in a state that legalized and controls medical pot. Our state, Arkansas is not one of those.

BTW, our pot ballots, for medical use is under appeal tomorrow. But that is a side issue. Currently it's thrown out. I voted for medical pot as a pain patient but against generalized legalized pot on ballot 6 in my state this week. That one still stands as far as I know.

You at minimum still have a driver. At most you lose a driver and have to replace same. The actions of a driver does not always lead to actions against the company that might keep you up at night.

 

One thing to remember is the active ingredient of marijuana, THC, does not show up in a urine test. You will find the metabolite of marijuana in urine though. Blood tests will show active THC. Many states have a metabolite DUI law and even having the metabolite in the blood can result in a DUI especially if it involves a crash. And not every state honors a medical marijuana card since it is still illegal federally and in most states. Just something to think about.

 

Wtf? Federal is far different than state, DOT doesn't care about state legislation at all. Possession would be an instant avenue for lawsuits if anything ever occurred on the road.

 

What county in Texas? It's a misdemeanor here, possession requires either jail time or probation. We are not a "cite and release" state.
