You've just asked a million dollar question that has yet to be resolved. It will have to be litigated, and eventually Trump's supreme Court will wind up deciding.
That said, it's my experience that few ACN clients drug test. Especially those outside of Pharma and some Health Providers. And ACN does not do any corporate testing.
No. Federally it is still illegal
No, still illegal at the federal level so any company who wants to test can cite federal law
Federally it is illegal under criminal statutes, but this situation would fall under employment law, not criminal law.
Think of it this way, let's say you live in a state where U-turns are legal and make U-turns all weekend long. Your client site is in Oklahoma, where U-turns are illegal, but you never make a U-turn in OK. Can the client penalize you for a legal activity you do at home? It's an interesting legal question that has not been litigated. My guess is the professional sports leagues will be the first to have a lawsuit around this.
If you have a scrip, talk to them about it.
Federal clients ruin everything
What if you land a project in a state where it is illegal?
For all federal clients and some (very few) financial services clients at ACN, they may require a drug test.
I have run into it.
I work in healthcare around controlled substances. The DEA still manages custody of these substances. So if having access to controlled drugs, these companies test those employees and contractors with access to ensure they aren't liabilities for theft and diversion.
These facilities are federally licensed. So even though Ca or Co have legal marijuana, it is still a controlled substance. I won't be held on any criminal charges but can be denied employment.
Yeah I work in financial services and I've been drug tested by 2 out of my last 3 clients. I legitimately need medical marijuana and it's the only thing that can help with some of my symptoms. In the end I will take my health over a job any day, but I was really hoping this wouldn't be an uphill battle
He duets have script it sound like
Doesn't*
I will when I move. And I'm a girl....
I have two conditions that qualify I've already checked and my doctors here say I'll have no problem up there. It's the clients / my company I'm worried about
