The SCOCA got this one right.

Who wants an employee spaced out on pot? Seems like firing is just common sense.

Thank God. Now get him some pills stat! Everyone knows they don’t have side effects. The pushers in the commercials told me they’re safe.
Good decision
I’m an economic libertarian, not a drug and hooker libertarian.
Freedom to fire and intelligence are the basis of a strong, efficient market, not something that makes you a little stupid.
A back injury? Marijuana? Come on. Taking three Alleve would have more analgesic effect.
While I’m likely a rare person on this board who agrees that medical marijuana should be legal, I don’t think somebody working (especially in a public capacity) should be using it at the same time.
Will somebody please reference a clause in the federal Constitution that authorizes the federal government to impose such laws on the states, med marijuana in this example? Sec. 5 of the 14th A. comes to mind, but I haven't seen enough examples of this kind of legislation to really know.
Or is this just another example the federal government ignoring the 10th A. protected power of the states to decide such things for themselves?
Stupid ruling. Workers should not be fired for smoking pot any more than they should be fired for drinking a beer.
Hmmm... can we fire people who take Prozac, Ritalin, Xanax, Valium? Got a broken leg and are taking Vicodin for pain, get fired?
Funny that the state supreme court upheld this. I would’ve expected the USSC, but not the state court.
