Dr. Caplan’s Take
“What I tell patients is this: a medical marijuana card and workplace drug screening are fundamentally incompatible systems right now, and that’s a patient safety problem because people end up choosing between their job and their treatment, often without understanding the legal reality that employers can still terminate them even with a valid prescription. Until we have federal rescheduling and employment protections, patients need to make this decision with eyes wide open about the actual risks they’re taking.”
