Prop. 64 doesn't prohibit employers from mandating drug test
Q: “I voted for the legalization marijuana in the last election. I want to know about what the rules are. How much can I have? How much can I grow? Can I be fired for smoking pot off the job? I can drink while I’m not on duty; can I smoke or can they still drug test me and fire me?”
A: James, Proposition 64 — officially known as the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act — is a complicated set of new regulations. Many people assumed it simply authorized the sale and use of marijuana. While that is true, there is much more to the law, only a bit of which I can cover here.
It is now lawful for people over 21 years of age under state law to possess, process, transport, smoke, purchase, obtain or give away to people 21 years or older without compensation 28.5 grams of pot or not more than 8 grams of concentrated cannabis. (Federal law still maintains that marijuana cultivation, sale and distribution is illegal.)
It is also now legal to cultivate, harvest, dry and process not more than six living marijuana plants and possess the marijuana produced by the plants. Marijuana can’t be smoked in any place where tobacco is prohibited or within 1,000 feet of a school, day care center or youth center (unless in your private residence). Like alcohol, you can not smoke marijuana while operating, or as a passenger in, a motor vehicle, boat or aircraft or other vehicle used for transportation.
