So I'm moving to a state where medical marijuana is legal and I have a need for it. If my doctor(s) write a prescription for it, do Accenture and clients have to allow it even if there are drug tests?

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.

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

Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted. Lately I've heard a lot of really negative and hurtful comments about patients who are picking up contraceptives, and about people who are pro-choice. I don't usually bring my political views to work, and now I feel like I honestly can't say anything without making work really uncomfortable for myself (I'm pro-choice). What should I do?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
