Advocates are hoping 2021 will bring employment protections for the state’s nearly half-million medical marijuana patients.
Megan Kahn graduated with a degree in social work last year. She got her professional license soon after and, around the same time, was prescribed medical marijuana. Then she got a job offer in her field.
“I sent in all my documentation. I sent in a picture of my card and my prescription. Everything,” said Kahn.
But the job offer was revoked when THC showed up in her drug test.
