Medical Marijuana and kroger

So I live in las Vegas and I am planning to get a medical card so I can posses and use marijuana legally. But I was wondering if they random and i fail can they still fire me even though I have a card that makes it legal?

If its prescribed to you and you need it for medical use I can't see how. I would consult with your shop steward.

It'd be just like alcohol. When you signed papers during the hiring process, they most likely included drug and alcohol policies. Regardless of whether it's legal for you to possess, if you show up drunk off your ass, you're fired. Having legal possession of a substance doesn't allow you to be on it at work, or even have it in your system.

Alohol use doesn't come with a medical prescription. I'm with Anonymous Cutter on this one.

first off - Kroger doesnt random test.  They just do the initial one at hire.  So I wouldn't be too concerned about drug testing after you are hired.  But yea coming in to work after smoking a big fatty probably isnt a smart idea.  however 90% the work force already does it (or is under some form of pill medication) so you might fit right in

 And if I had a prescription for narcotics for an injured back or broken vagina, I'd be written up or suspended if I came in high as a kite. Regardless of whether you'd be allowed to use it legally, if you signed papers agreeing to not have <insert illicit substance> in your system, they'd be 100% within their rights to fire you on the spot if they had strong enough suspicion of drug use to test you and you failed.

Morhine can get you high as a kite too; again, if you have a medical prescription for it any employer who fires you for acting on a doctor's orders is facing a law suit MUCH greater than, say, your broken vagina.

---Good luck with that, by the way~

So I could get a prescription for drug x, go in and totally flip out on it and run around naked around the store and they can't fire me? I doubt that, lol.

They can only test you if you get hurt on the job. So just don't get hurt.

Only way you're off the hook with other-wise illegal drugs on the job is for things like marijuna prescribed for A.I.D.S or opiates prescribed for cancer. And if you're suffering from either of those (or some other similarly bad condition warenting similar treatment) conditions, you're not likely gonna be getting high, let alone psychotic on the job; you're more likely more concerned with keeping a pay check to survive.

Love the descriptions, tho...."...run around naked"? That's P.C.P., bro~

Drugs are for losers. If you wanna keep your job, stay clean!

You probably signed some drug policy form somewhere along the line.  Possibly when you were hired.  I seem to recall some form at my store saying that medical weed is unacceptable.

After the initial drug test at hiring, there won't be any more drug testing unless you are injured or something stupid happens.

If they did random drug testing at my store, they'd probably have to fire at least a 1/4 of the employees.

If you can smoke up and act passably sober, you might as well.  It would probably help with customer engagement, and make a stupid job less awful.

Just watch it.

The only thing wrong with weed is that it's illegal. I don't think you should work while you're high, and potheads can be serious scumbags, but it's a harmless substance.

It might be harmless, but we don't need it in the workplace. We need people to show up to work with some damn motivation.

Whoah there, Nancy Reagan.  If they wanted us to show up with motivation, it would be reflected in hours, pay, or benefits.

Since it's a worthless dead end retail job, it doesn't really matter.

If you've already done the first drug test, you are pretty much free to smoke up if you you can pass for sober.

You might as well.  It helps with customer engagement, or might make putting a box on the shelf more entertaining.

The only potential issue is that if you get hurt, they will drug test.

I know a lot of very productive people who use it for medical reasons and even recognition. I use it for medical. And you wake up just fine and alert and ready to work. Drinking is way worse and wake up The hangover. Educate yourself obviously don't know much.

What's your problem? If you just come here to troll maybe it makes you feel better. You stay nice and anonymous while posting the same meaningless insults against people you don't know. What do you have against Kroger associates?

If you have a dr note just give them a copy and it'll be fine. If you don't you'll be termed for use of a drug. In wa state it's legal to buy and use but if you have an incient at work, test positive you're termed. If it's medical it's dr protected. Just give them a copy of the note.

 This is what Marijuana does to you.

See how they shake their head? Marijuana will give you the heebie-jeebies.

 They dont even pay us non weed smokers a living wage. This is why nobody turns in cash, gift cards that are found, nor are any tips declined. I've found a $50.00 kroger gift card yesterday and let's say that will pay for snacks and lunches for a while. I also have no qualms about keeping tips or cash that I find.

 Unless if you are involved in an accident in the store. Our store in the Local 1996 area will test as part of the investigation

Just make sure you have that dr note. My store had to legally hire someone that did weed and let's just say non could stand to be within 10 ft of him.
