Keywords:
medical marijuana, drug testing, lawsuit, terminationAbstract
In November 2004, Jake Jones was hired as a grocery stocker at TarMart in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Throughout his employment he proved to be a good employee. Early in 2009, Jones registered with the state of Michigan and obtained the appropriate registry card to allow him to use marijuana for medical purposes. Thereafter, Jones began using the drug while off-duty and away from work. In November 2009, after an injury on the job, Jones tested positive for marijuana during a mandatory company drug test. As a result, he was fired from TarMart and he sued.
