I also use it for my spiritual practices, as it brings me closer to God. Just the other day, a co-worker of mine got fired for testing THC positive and has his cannabis card (*I am not sure if he disclosed the fact that he had his card prior to testing). I've taken a temporary break from my medicine, as i'm concerned and am seeking advice. Do I have any legal grounding for using medicinal cannabis? Apparently the law states that it's the employer's choice to let someone go for testing positive. I also wonder if I could be protected for my spiritual/religious use under the first ammendment? Has this happened to anyone, or can anyone provide advice? I'm in a random testing pool for safety sensitive reasons (unreasonably put in this catigory) but work mostly at the desk as part of a marketing team. Prior to testing, if I disclosed my medical info, would it be treated like any other prescription?\"\n_____________________\nMultiple courts have ruled that an employer can demand a drug free work environement. They can test you for THC or other compounds and, if they are detected, they have cause to fire you with no recourse on your part. The fact that you have a recommendation from HelloMD, or even a state issued cannabis card, does not make a difference.\nAs to using it as part of a religious practise, I would think the same applies. However I am not an attorney so I cannot give you legal advice on this.\n\nPerry Solomon, MD\n_____________________\n \nAdditional points to consider: There are occupations such as truck driving, teaching, and police officer that require their employees to be alert cognitively and physically. Impairment in these types of professions may cause harm to others; therefore it is important to be compliant with not using cannabis at work. When it comes to off-site use, it is best to discuss cannabis policy regarding one’s job with the employer. \n\nLonah NP","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8970-markdown","title":"If I am ill should I refrain from Cannabis?","slug":"if-i-am-ill-should-i-refrain-from-cannabis","content":"\"I have the flu and bronchitis.

I was curious - I’m planning on going on 150 mg of Wellbutrin medication here soon because of anxiety and depression. Does marijuana and Wellbutrin mix poorly and cause a bad reaction or will I be okay?\r\n\r\nI am not an avid smoker but I wanted to know if recreational is okay?\"\n_____________________\nThere is very little reported in the medical literature about adverse effects of cannabis when taking bupropion and similar medications.  The widespread use of these precriptions and the frequency of concomitant cannabis use indicates that as a practical matter there is no reason to avoid combining the two.  I would be inclined to minimize cannabis use when starting a new prescription for Wellbutrin until it becomes clear what that medication's effects are by itself - perhaps one to two weeks.  At that point cautiously increasing cannabis use will allow subjective evaluation of its benefit when taken with Wellbutrin.\n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\n\n We have top quality medical cannabis available at affordable prices.

He says it's just his left side, and it feels like burning pins and needles. He did see the doctor, and the doctor said he has nerve damage similar to neuropathy, but aren't sure what the cause is. They suggested he try cannabis! He has tried the Lord Jones High CBD lotion but has not gotten relief. \n\nWe are wondering if maybe a tincture will help? What dosage might be beneficial for him? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!\"\n_____________________\nHi there! I'm sorry to hear your relative is struggling with this uncomfortable condition. Happily, cannabis does provide relief for many people with this issue. Please check out these search results on the topic which should provide plenty of information for you:\n\nashleigh\n_____________________\nApplying cannabis to the skin will not provide significant absorption beyond a very local area so I would definitely try a tincture or similar preparation.  When tinctures or lozenges are held in the mouth effects may be noticeable within 10 minutes; when cannabis is swallowed it may take up to an hour for effects.  Starting with a CBD:THC ratio of 20:1 and varying the amount taken and the cannabinoid ratio (moving toward 1:1) may yield a preparation helpful in reducing the discomfort.  Most patients find this kind of cautious experimentation useful for finding the best relief of their symptoms.  \n\ndrelkind\n_____________________\nI agree with Dr. Elkind that a tincture containing both CBD and THC (for the entourage effect) would be a good choice.  I also agree that for some patients, a traditional cream/emollient/oil may only have limited penetration into the skin. However, I might suggest another alternative.  Companies like OMremedies.com & MakingYouBetterBrand.com have cannabis infused epsom salts (epsom salts being composed of magnesium salt which is important for nerve conduction). If you put a very small/fractional dose in warm (not steaming hot) water and see if the extremities can tolerate a dunk/bath for a short duration, this may be useful. In my experience a good deal of the limited medical literature concerning cannabinoids and neuropathic pain seem to use THC in the experiments (however an admixture of THC and CBD should also do well). I hope this helps please let us know what happens!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8943-markdown","title":"Even though legal medical marijuana is available in Florida, it is not yet being sold.
