The provision for medical cannabis specifically calls it out by saying, "... View More

In a general answer, yes you can be terminated for that. Same as a person driving after using medical marijuana can be arrested for DUI. Just because something has been made partially legal doesn’t trump other areas of law, or in this case business owners rights and responsibilities. With that... View More

Not sure what your question is, but marijuana and it's byproducts are still largely unlawful under federal law, hence probably the USPS response you received.

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

While there are some exceptions, it is typically illegal for a company to not hire you in New York based solely on a positive drug test for THC. If that's what they did, and why they did it, and no exceptions apply, you can sue them.
