Medical Marijuana Lawyers

Although medical marijuana has been legal in Pennsylvania since 2016, there are still practical complications that negatively impact patients, caregivers and business owners. Since marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, many employers are unaware of the protection that medical marijuana users and professionals have a right to.

If you’ve experienced discrimination in your job because of your use of medical marijuana, Weisberg Cummings, P.C. may be able to help. We can provide you with legal advice, represent you in court and do everything in our power to support you.

Can You Be Fired for Having a Medical Marijuana Card in Pennsylvania?

Under Pennsylvania’s Medical Marijuana Act (MMA), employers cannot fire, threaten or refuse to hire you solely because of your status as a certified medical marijuana patient. However, the law has limits. Employers don’t have to let you use marijuana at work, and they can discipline you if you’re actively under the influence while on the clock.

Additionally, employers can restrict patients from performing safety-sensitive duties, like working with high-voltage electricity, operating heavy machinery or handling certain chemicals. However, these exceptions are not blanket excuses to discriminate. If you were terminated or denied a position simply for having a medical marijuana card, you likely have a valid claim.
