Considering Medical Marijuana for Chronic Pain

Medical marijuana, I'm considering using it...but sadly I'm not sure if my current place of work will allow medical use. I'm about to the point of where if I get fired for trying to manage chronic pains then so be it...idk I guess I'm scared?

I was scared about it too before I started using it. Review your employer's handbook and speak with HR if you're able. Also, look into what your states laws are in regards to medical marijuana use. Personally, my employer does not mind as long as I don't come to work under the influence (which I never would, anyway). I hope this is helpful!

I think it also depends on how you use it. CBD oil is less hypnotic and makes you less “high” than others, so your place of work may be more okay with that. Are you planning on using marijuana during work time or after?

I'd like to join in on what was said. It depends on the state laws. As far as I know, you can use medical marijuana as long as you are not under the influence during work hours. Of course, I recommend talking to HR before, if possible …
