Witch Hunt in Salem

A new witch hunt is to begin in Salem, this time in Oregon instead of Massachusetts. Oregon State Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that would allow employers to fire medicinal marijuana users for drug use according to The Register-Guard. The bill ensures that employers who drug test employees and find they are on marijuana are able to fire the employee even if that employee is a registered user under the States medicinal marijuana program.

Luckily not all senators in Oregon are so discriminatory, Senator Floyd Prozanski says the bill will "discriminate against individuals who have not violated the intent of the safe workplace" and says he will continue to try to persuade the House to change the bill so it does not discriminate against workers who are cardholders in Oregon's medicinal marijuana program.
