Thank you for doing this AMA today.

In the state of Connecticut a patient can qualify for the medical marijuana program if certified by a licensed practitioner. While there are state employment protections in place, can an employee be fired from their job if the company they work for has contracts with the federal government even if that employee isn’t working on a government contract?

Along with that, if the employee if contracted out to a public utility to perform work, can they be fired if they have a positive drug test for marijuana even if they have been certified for the CT medical marijuana program?

Thank you for doing this AMA.

Given your past, how do you remain positive during hard times?

My question from the original post:

Thank you for doing this AMA.

Given your past, how do you remain positive during hard times?

I didn’t take the HIPAA aspect into consideration so what you’re saying makes sense

Does HIPAA apply to stringent background checks as well?

Thank you for the reply. I have one follow up question.

Can you be fired for simply possessing the medical marijuana card or is a positive drug test required to make that decision?
