I am not tricking anyone. I presented accurate information. I want to get people thinking about the hypocrisy in our legal system. We want our doctors to provide the safest most effective medications for each individual patient. We want our citizens to be productively employed. And then when a doctor and a patient find a medication that works and is legal in the state, the corporation with the consent of the courts fires him even though all sides agree that his medication did NOT impair him in any way. If you are outraged at an employer being able to fire you for using Prozac or Lyrica or Ambien then why should not that same outrage apply to legal use of marijuana?

It cannot be left to the courts because the courts simply apply the law unless the law is vague or unconstitutional. Change needs to come from the legislature rewriting the laws or the people amending the state constitution.

We need rational drug laws and this is yet another example of anti-drug madness.
