I would need more information on the card and any restrictions before forming an opnion.

I would think UPS's opinion would be pretty clear. It's an (illegal) drug free company. Just because the state of California allows people purchase marijuana, doesn't mean UPS would allow it's work force to use it. BTW, if I'm not mistaken, it's still illegal in the eyes of federal law and users, prescribers, and dispensaries are still subject to federal prosecution.
What does the DOT say about this. There is your answer.

Quit trying to be snoop dog and go legit.
UPS isn't going give anyone the OK to due dope. It's becomes a liability issue.
Consuming a beer is not illegal but employer does not have to allow employees to drink during lunch. State Supreme Court decision in 2010 ruled that testing positive for marijuana is a valid reason for termination regardless of having a prescription or not.

It's a unique confusion. It's not often that we have something that is prohibited by Federal law(marijuana is prohibited as having no approved medical use, hence DEA schedule I) but ok at state level. I thought that in the event of a conflict, Federal law wins over State law.

Don't ask don't tell. The minute they fire someone with a card they'll sue for mandatory testing of all employees since thats UPS's grounds for termination and when 1/2 minimum of the pt'rs we have are now ineligible to work then what?

Don't rush to judgment without examining the evidence.

Who could it be?? The syntax seemed familiar. Oh Upstate, where were you ? That is the kind of new member whose first post you should have jumped on.
