I’d be more worried about him having ptsd and being a security guard.
Yes a company can do that at there own discretion and marijuana is still illegal not legal
The American hate for weed is rooted in racism. Cursing weed on your porch as you sip on your bourbon. Biggest eyeroll in history. Idiocy and hypocrisy.
You could probably win a suit for ADA discrimination there since it is a legally prescribed medicine for a disability
Odd, places that drug test haven’t been testing for cannibas because it’s medicine, not a drug. It’s all natural. An herb. Not sure which businesses would test for that, they shouldn’t. It’s like testing for all medications people take
Oxycotten and xanax is ok though
Boy you can easily say nothing. If you don’t go work at ups. They don’t care if you are a shroom head. You getting a job.
Stop discrimination
you mean a smart, intelligent company who cares about its product,reputation & other employees doesnt want to risk hiring a drug addict?!
wow, what nerve!
If it wasn’t for the republicans, we would be growing our own and not getting shafted at the dispensary.
Illegal under federal law life liberty pursuit of happiness I’m just glad I got so many people looking out for me in this world dictating and decide how I live my life forcing their choices upon me and taking away my freedom of choice
Manatee County will fire you on the spot even if you have a card. It has been recommended by my VA psychiatrist.
This is so stupid lol dont people know smoke shops sell stuff for that, the best one is called "quick fix" ive been passing my drug tests for years for my job
Well played
Now they see who is who.
And little note to this guy
Get to work the other way
You can have a prescription for other narcotics like Percocet, Xanax etc. Medical Marijuana should be no different.
They don’t have a problem trying to force people to get a shitty vaccine that does nothing to stop COVID and possibly get anaphylaxis and heart ailments but they have a problem with a plant that helps with depression, back pain among other things. SMH
Employers can choose whoever they want its their company.
yup just go back on synthetic heroine aka pain killers and you can have your job HAHAHAHAHA
Funny how the comments are so different when it’s a man. There’s another youtube video with a woman instead and comments are supportive.
Free the weed. Free the people.
He’s on some BS. Many decent paying jobs don’t even drug test.
If Florida legalizes recreational weed this November we’ll be one giant step closer to federal legalization
Weed never hurt anyone
Marijuana is 100% illegal in all 50 states and territories. Federal law always takes precedent over state law. This has been common knowledge for 100 years.
I agree with the company. To be a Security Guard, you need to be perky and on your toes..pothead aren’t perky..and pot heads aren’t really alert. Wrong Job choice.
Dude needs to clean up his beard too.. personal appearance when applying for a job is also a thing. He’s old enough to know that
Pothead.
I have an all female construction painting and finishing company in SouthWestern Pennsylvania. Any gals need a job, I hire medical marijuana users.
Move out of conquistador Florida
Publix will hire you
You can’t safely perform a job high !
Sick to death of the idiotic REEFER MADNESS close-minded, uninformed, misinformed outlook! Get educated, Floridian pols. You represent us, NOT RULE us!
I’d like to help this gentleman start his own business, then he’d no longer have to go through the discrimination.
I was just fired for medical marijuana
Just stop smoking for a week before an interview.
Do you really want someone with PTSD in any position operating vehicles, or protecting people? C’mon, I have heart failure, & there are plenty of things I can’t do. Grow up, dude. If you’re so screwed, you have to smile weed for stress, find a non- stressful job. (Like being a cashier.)
Stay drug free , problem solved.
Florida was once known for the biggest percocet, oxycotin, morphine pill mills where you could show up with a $100 and receive a huge prescription playing a huge part in the opiate epidemic and you could get a job if you have wanted to with that prescription but most didn’t because their job was selling their prescriptions to people who didnt have them. BUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA IS THE PROBLEM?
Alcohol and drug testing have been going on for years. They don’t have to hire you
YouTube spread hate for users of this medicine they’re empowering hateful supremacist YouTubers who spread hate speech about THC drunkenly YouTube has made millions harming others.
If he was on myriad of synthetic prescription drugs, that would be ok 🙄
I really hope they stop making Marijuana look worse then alcohol I personally have never gotten drunk or drank alcohol and am proud to say it I grew up watching people drink alcohol and they would always get irritated and start arguing and fighting for the smallest things and in the other hand Marijuana more less intoxicating and more relaxing and enjoyable filled with laughter and good times including munchies I really hope they pass the bill am a proud supporter let’s make this world a better place and help those that are in need of help legally LET GOO 💚
Something does not add up, with this gentleman. I have a medical marijuana card. I have PTSD from growing up in Democrat controlled communist Illinois. I was able to obtain employment but zero issues my advice to Steven. Stop smoking for a month, Land, a job,and then start smoking again
Ignorant comments in this thread, and no companies canot discriminate, and can not tell you you can’t take your dr perscribed meds
How is this discrimination? You can’t do drugs at work.
Fake Pee. Thats all. Smh
Or he could apply for work at the White House. No drug screening and if you mistakenly leave your drug bag lying around, there will be no investigation.
It’s pretty common and you can’t work for DOT at all if you have a medical marijuana card as well.
Were the hoops he jumped through of the "hula" variety?
I know TONS OF NURSES REGISTERED NURSES that have their medical card this is Bs
