Colorado Supreme Court Hands Down Ruling Marijuana Smokers Won’t Like
Colorado’s Supreme Court ruled 6-0 on Monday that a medical
marijuana patient, who was fired after failing a drug test, cannot get his job
back. The case has big implications for employers and pot smokers in
states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana.
In my opinion, the conflict
between state and federal laws need to be resolved. I don’t think the federal law making pot
illegal is constitutional. I think that
should be a state issue. Furthermore, I
think the reason the federal government is not trying to enforce the law in
states where state law allows it is because they know the federal law would be
overturned in federal court.
It would however be
constitutional for federal law to ban the interstate transportation of pot
under the interstate commerce clause.
Just for the record, I am and
always have been opposed to the use of pot for recreational purposes, but there
is indisputable proof that is does have some legitimate medical uses.
