US CO: Legal Pot Use In Colorado Could Still Get You Fired

Wall Street Journal, 26 Apr 2013 – Medical and recreational marijuana use may be legal in Colorado, but businesses in the state still have the right to fire people who test positive for the drug, a Colorado appellate court ruled Thursday. The Colorado Court of Appeals in Denver made its ruling in a case filed by Brandon Coats, a quadriplegic who was fired by Dish Network LLC in 2010 after he tested positive for marijuana, in violation of company policy.
