Yes, just because certain drugs are taken by prescription or if they have been legalized does not mean that an employer has to hire you. I do not believe that they are required to indicate what drug or if that makes any difference whatsoever. Good luck and try some place else.

Since you are represented by counsel, that is the only person who you should direct your questions to. But if you do not believe that the attorney is acting in your best interests, then you should seek a second opinion.
