However, if a doctor prescribes Marijuana, I think its fricked up they can get fired for that if used entirely off-duty.
Again....how can it be proven it was used solely off duty though?

Same could be said of opiates and those are allowed

How can it be proven I didn't take pain killers that morning of my shift and not the night before?

You can frame this argument with a lot of things in business. How can you tell if a person didn't have insider knowledge when trading stocks? How can you tell if an employee tells his wife classified information? I'm sure there are regression models out there for marijuana in the blood stream over time. If he's prescribed marijuana, it should have some sort of usage amount.

They are developing tests for cannabis that will detect influence instead of it just being in your system, mainly for dui purposes.
I hate this ruling, but expected it. There are some people stuck in a 1930a reefer madness mentality. But ignorance doesn't change the federal illegality of the substance.
Doctors do not prescribe marijuana, they "recommend" it's use. So basically, this decision is pretty much delaying the inevitable. Once the federal government changes medical marijuana laws, and remove it from being a schedule 1 narcotic, they'll begin to allow actual prescriptions, instead of recommendations. Then medical marijuana patients will have the same worker protections as any other prescription drug, like opiates and benzos.

There are tests for checking if a person is high on marijuana at the time of the test. Canadian companies do this. US companies just refuse to adapt their testing.

They have saliva strips that can tell if you've smoked recently and how long shot, also how much THC you consumed. Police also have them to determine stoned drivers.
