Police officers: 2 part question.?
QUestion 1: Since medical Marijuana is now allowed in the state of california, (and please ignore the federal guidelines for a moment).. and since Police officers are granted the same coverage by the ADA, in theory.. can they use marijuana for "medicinal" uses and be protected against prosecution and or losing their jobs? (fyi, santa cruz and san mateo counties do not prosecute when u have a med card for civies.)ANyone with knowledge in this area.. please respond. Part 2: Police officers and depression/anxiety. Lots of them have it. How are they protected by the ADA and their own unions ? More details... Firstly.. Pilots.. firefighters.. and whomever can take whatever medication they want..aslongggg as the medication is wore off b the time they start work.. like drinking .. or anything else..i guess u were thinking i meant.. could they USE ojn the job.. no. sorry not what i meant. SO. lets try this again shall we. ..

- ok i dont know but i have question for you why are the police people now a days are like 20 feet tall and as skinny as a broom?
- This medical marijuana thing is not for cops, airline pilots, surgeons or anyone else who has to think. Only losers who have no function can take it safely. And oh by the way the federal law does mean something. Soon the whole California experiment will come crashing down around your ears and a lot of Innocent people who thought they were protected by California law are going to be hurt.
- They can prohibit it because it effects their reactions. Just like an airline pilot can be grounded for taking a over the counter allergy pill. It effects their reactions and judgements and thus is grounds for not allowing it. Part 2: Again depression can have an effect on reactions and judgements and can be grounds to not be allowed. Now if it occurs while being a cop, they can reassign the person to a police job that doesn't require a gun, unsafe situations, etc. Also most state employees are NOT covered by the ADA. For the most part the courts have held that the states didn't agree to be sued and that Congress did not act in a way overriding the states rights to be denied. (You can only sue a state or the federal government if there is a law allowing it. Congress can override a states right to not be sued if it acts in certain ways and makes clear for why it is overriding the right of the state)
