California Supreme Court wants more people on welfare

Taking working people off the payroll and placing them on to government assistance for what?
Traces of pot use that's what.

You see when someone tests "positive" for marijuana it only means they smoked it at some time in the past.
There is no, and I repeat NO test for "under the influence" of marijuana.

This court ruling is bogus based on this fact alone.
When will we wake up?

Court: Medically legal or not, smoke pot and face firing

* Story Highlights
* California court upheld the termination of an employee who flunked drug test
* Although California allows medical marijuana, could still lead to firing
* Company said its work across state borders could make it subject to federal law
* State law protection for medical marijuana only goes so far, high court says

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Workers who are legally prescribed marijuana to treat illness can still be fired from their jobs, following a ruling Thursday from the California Supreme Court.

The 5-2 decision upheld the job termination of Gary Ross, who flunked a company drug test shortly after being hired at a telecommunications firm.

A state referendum that allows people to use medical marijuana with a physician's recommendation are immune from some state criminal drug possession charges. But the state high court said such legal protection only goes so far.
