It is illegal to smoke marijuana in Ohio. This is true even if you have a medical card. Your employment is also not protected from the use of marijuana even if you have a medical card. Marijuana in your system will likely be determined to be a contributing factor in any accident.
But prior to this event management has been trying to get rid me. After that drug test I got injured during work and end up messing up my knee pretty bad. I was never sent to get another test to verify this I was let go a week after the accident.

It is likely--even under California law--that your employer can legally fire you for failing a drug test.
I advise you, however, to keep the CBD oil that you used and to have it tested for THC. Although it is extremely rare to test positive on a drug test as a result of using CBD oil,... View More

If a driver runs more than two stop signs or stop lights or exceeds the speed limit by more than 20 miles an hour while an officer is in pursuit, that could be charged as a felony. The first court date is not the end of your case; it is the beginning. That is where you or your attorney plead not... View More

Based on the information you've provided, it appears the company's refusal to hire you based on a failed drug test for marijuana does not appear to be illegal. It's really unfair as cannabis metabolites can be detected in urine even 30 days after someone ingests the drug, making it... View More

An additional element of the crime in your case may be the planning and preparation for the commission of a crime.... View More

The police never gave the signed warrant to the clerk to file. Took 11 months to return the warrant and it's not the same cause number. Also no bodycams? Why
answered on Jan 30, 2023
First, body cams are not required by law, so there is nothing abnormal or problematic with not having body cam video in discovery since not all officers are equipped with body cams.
Second, it is not uncommon for search warrants to be obtained under a unique cause number and not in the same... View More

There are cases that hold that it is enough to search your car. The cases distinguish between the search of your car during a traffic stop and the search of your person when you are in a store. Of course, the issue turns on the facts of the stop and you should discuss that with an attorney.
If so is this recently recognized by the scientific community as factual information?

Simple possession is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by 11 months and 29 days in the detention facility. Realistically, if you were released on a citation and do not have a criminal history it is likely that you would get probation. However, you do not want to simply plead guilty to the simple...

Then you can apply (with a fee) for an expungement of the arrest from your record. Once PTI is completed you should not have any appointments. If PTI has not been completed they can... View More
