Two NY Firefighters Sue Over Medical Marijuana Use

As Kentucky’s medical cannabis program reaches more patients, the workplace side of a medical card matters as much as access itself.

Two Utica firefighters who are certified medical cannabis patients were suspended after urine tests detected cannabis metabolites, despite neither being observed or accused of working impaired. They are suing the city over how it applied its drug-testing policy.

This case tests where that protection actually holds — and it’s a question Kentucky patients will face too as the program grows.
