Makes sense. How can they test and tell that a nurse didn't toke up 30 minutes before her shift caring for sick newborns vs yesterday on her day off?
It makes sense if it was recreational. Companies for sure have that right. But can they fire people for taking medicine prescribed to them? I failed a drug test for opiates once because I had cough syrup for a bout with whooping cough. I was cleared after they consulted my physician and he confirmed it was prescribed and necessary.
If this guy was prescribed this for muscle spasms (which could be real or not, I have no idea) by a physician, I see no reason how that’s different from other medicine.

If it potentially prevents them from doing their job correctly you are damn right they can.
