I can agree with it if it is recreational, though as a business owner I wouldn't fire someone over that, but medical is insanity. I guess people can be fired for taking Lexapro or bi-polar medicine too?
This.
Employers right to ban recreational use of substances. They can ban alcohol if they wanted.
However, if a doctor prescribes Marijuana, I think its fricked up they can get fired for that if used entirely off-duty.
I can get fired for taking a bunch of pain killers I'm not prescribed to and failing a drug test, but if I have migraines and they are prescribed I am completely protected by law.

Again....how can it be proven it was used solely off duty though?

For what should you get prescribed it? I think only terminally ill patients should be prescribed it.

Only in some instances. If you work in a hazardous environment, like say a refinery or law enforcement they can legally tell you that you can't come to work while under the use of that medication. They may work with you for light duty or something but that's only for a limited time.

This will be a legitimate argument when the first medical marijuana clinic ever turns away a cash carrying "patient" seeking a prescription.
