I have severe arthritis in my hands and shoulders. I was prescribed medical marijuana for pain management. it worked incredibly well for a year. as an independent contractor I had no problems. recently, I got an offer for an excellent job that pays very well. I explained the situation to my employer. for insurance reasons we held off on starting work until I was able to pass a drug test. I have abstained from my prescribed drug and have just muscled through the pain for a month an a half, yet I still cannot pass a drug test. this is madness. I know I will eventually pass, but this means that I can no longer use a medicine that has improved my quality of life. I guess i'll just go in and get a prescription for oxycontin. i'm sure that will make everything better.
