Any Job Advice for a guy with a Medical cannabis card in Ga
Thu, 08/17/2017 - 16:02Topic: Medication Issues
Due to Medical Cannabis Card I will pop positive of a drug test
Essentially I can not find a "real" job that will hire me due to my "Failing of a Drug Test" for my Doctor Prescribed Medication. Discrimination?
I asked Lowes and their HR's HR said "No Exceptions"
My seizures were under control, I was in the Automotive field and which now I can no longer drive. I chose not to anymore for public safety.

Any Ideas?
Im stuck washing dishes at a sports bar after 13 years of car experience.
Thank you all.
Jim
