If you suffer from severe anxiety and you think marijuana is the only treatment that will work for you, you should seriously consider it. Chronic anxiety is a serious condition that can have a major long-term impact on your health and even lead to premature death. You can always get a new job. | |

| Jul 12, 2017 at 0:09 | comment | added | Donald | Keep this in mind. If the federal government wanted to stop "legal" marijuana usage they could. It's still an illegal substance at the federal level. So if your job has any connection to a federal agency, marijuana, is still a prohibited substance at the federal level. The Supreme Court would rule in favor of the federal government in a heart beat if the state with legal marijuana use happened to sue after a federal crack down. The federal law still exists, it would take an Article 5 Convention likely, to change the law | |

You really have 2 choices: Find another, legal way to deal with your anxiety or go ahead and use marijuana and hope you don't get caught. Keep in mind too that many, if not all potential employers in the future will likely require a pre-employment drug screen. | |
