i usually only smoke like one bowl a day and if i get a medical card will i be ok no matter what

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.

I don’t know what it means to “be on colors” in Kentucky, and I am not an attorney in Ohio, however cannabis possession in Ohio is unlawful whether in public or your home—possession of under 100 grams remains a misdemeanor. See, generally, https://norml.org/laws/ohio-penalties-2/
Basically we don't initially get drug tested for THC until an accident occurs and if THC comes up they either terminate you or fire you depending on who you are is this legal?
answered on Jun 8, 2023
Yes. Ohio employers may terminate for THC in your system. There are no protections for employees in Ohio for use of marijuana, even medical marijuana.
Can they charge him?

The medical marijuana laws are quite specific and there are forms of marijuana, items of paraphernalia, and methods of consumption that remain illegal even for those with a card. You should hire an attorney to look into the specifics of your son's case.

Your question does not contain enough information to provide you an answer. It appears you have a question about timing requirements when you miss an interview with USCIS. You should contact a local immigration attorney ASAP, if you missed an interview.
Someone who lives in PA gets protections from being fired if they have a medical card. But Ohio doesn't have any of that.
So if I live in Ohio but work in PA would I not get these protections because I live in Ohio and have an Ohio medical card?

No. Pennsylvania law applies to Pennsylvania companies. They would not be able to terminate so long as you are in compliance with Pennsylvania's medical marijuana laws.

Ohio employers are allowed to terminate or discipline employees for the lawful use of medical marijuana. It is entirely at the employer's discretion.
i did it a long time ago and only now has anyone heard of it so now i am being threatened with prosecution without physical evidence.
answered on Sep 9, 2021
Doing drugs is technically not a crime. Possession of the drug is a crime. That being said, if you were on some type of probation etc. that prohibited the use of any drugs then that could stand. Whether or not the prosecutor can prove that you had possession of a controlled substance or if you... View More

It's a minor misdemeanor, $150 fine and court costs, but the court also can suspend your driver's license.
Or they arrest me. I don’t want to do this but they said my job would find out and I could be in a lot of trouble. What are my options?
answered on Feb 26, 2021
Well, you can cooperate and possibly avoid being charged, or you can not cooperate and be charged. If you decide to cooperate, you should do so through an attorney to make sure they don't charge you anyway.
Is it legal for me to get the medical card and is my p.o aloud to stop me from getting it if so?
answered on Feb 4, 2021
You can get a medical card, but it's only Ohio law. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law, card or no. Your PO can require that you obey ALL laws, and they usually do. That means no marijuana use.

The landlord is required to evict anyone they reasonably suspect of using a controlled substance, including marijuana. If you put them on written notice of this, and they fail to do anything about it within 30 days you can either 1) terminate your lease, 2) sue for damages or 3) escrow your rent... View More
The charge is now preventing me from getting my ccw in Ohio and I feel like it’s ridiculous to not be able to do so based on a charge from 14 years ago when I was a stupid kid.
answered on Nov 18, 2020
Many sheriffs will not issue a CCW permit until you seal minor convictions like this. You can apply to the court to have the record sealed and the it likely won’t be an issue anymore.
My headlight was out and i got pulled over had to reach into my glove box to get my papers and my pipe was in there the officer smelled it and took it but never gave me a ticket but now i have to appear for court this don't seem legal
answered on Nov 5, 2020
They don't have to issue a ticket right away. They can send you a summons and complaint later. This often happens in paraphernalia cases because they send the substance in for lab testing before charging someone. You should get a lawyer.

In the state of Ohio, your license is automatically suspended if you refused OVI testing or had a BAC reading of .08 or above. So, if you were arrested for OVI you should expect to receive notification relatively soon of your upcoming suspension. You do have 30 days after the initial appearance for... View More
smell in throughout the entire building bothering the other tenant. The 1st time, I tried to work with tenant but she denies any smoking. We continue to receive complaints from the other tenant. Do we have grounds for eviction?
answered on May 22, 2020
Yes, the use of illegal drugs on the premises and the violation of the lease both allow you to evict.
They want to live with me can I still get custody even though I smoke Weed
answered on Mar 16, 2020
Now is an excellent time for you to get a medical marijuana card. There are a variety of physicians out there who can get you one, and if you are using marijuana for medical purposes then that cannot be used as the sole reason to deny you custody. R.C. 3796.24 (2 - 3). Let me know if you'd... View More

You should hire an attorney. There are several problems with your defense. First, ownership is not the issue. Possession is. Second, just because you're clean also doesn't mean your not guilty of the possession charge. It is illegal to possess these drugs whether you use them or not.... View More
