It'd be just like alcohol. When you signed papers during the hiring process, they most likely included drug and alcohol policies. Regardless of whether it's legal for you to possess, if you show up drunk off your ass, you're fired. Having legal possession of a substance doesn't allow you to be on it at work, or even have it in your system.

first off - Kroger doesnt random test.  They just do the initial one at hire.  So I wouldn't be too concerned about drug testing after you are hired.  But yea coming in to work after smoking a big fatty probably isnt a smart idea.  however 90% the work force already does it (or is under some form of pill medication) so you might fit right in

Morhine can get you high as a kite too; again, if you have a medical prescription for it any employer who fires you for acting on a doctor's orders is facing a law suit MUCH greater than, say, your broken vagina.

---Good luck with that, by the way~

So I could get a prescription for drug x, go in and totally flip out on it and run around naked around the store and they can't fire me? I doubt that, lol.

Only way you're off the hook with other-wise illegal drugs on the job is for things like marijuna prescribed for A.I.D.S or opiates prescribed for cancer. And if you're suffering from either of those (or some other similarly bad condition warenting similar treatment) conditions, you're not likely gonna be getting high, let alone psychotic on the job; you're more likely more concerned with keeping a pay check to survive.

Love the descriptions, tho...."...run around naked"? That's P.C.P., bro~

 

 

You probably signed some drug policy form somewhere along the line.  Possibly when you were hired.  I seem to recall some form at my store saying that medical weed is unacceptable.

After the initial drug test at hiring, there won't be any more drug testing unless you are injured or something stupid happens.

If they did random drug testing at my store, they'd probably have to fire at least a 1/4 of the employees.

If you can smoke up and act passably sober, you might as well.  It would probably help with customer engagement, and make a stupid job less awful.

Just watch it.

It might be harmless, but we don't need it in the workplace. We need people to show up to work with some damn motivation.

I know a lot of very productive people who use it for medical reasons and even recognition. I use it for medical. And you wake up just fine and alert and ready to work. Drinking is way worse and wake up The hangover. Educate yourself obviously don't know much.

What's your problem? If you just come here to troll maybe it makes you feel better. You stay nice and anonymous while posting the same meaningless insults against people you don't know. What do you have against Kroger associates?

So I live in las Vegas and I am planning to get a medical card so I can posses and use marijuana legally. But I was wondering if they random and i fail can they still fire me even though I have a card that makes it legal?

 This is what Marijuana does to you.

See how they shake their head? Marijuana will give you the heebie-jeebies.

if you're using it for a good reason then i say who cares what kroger thinks?

i am also a mmj user and idk if they will fire me or not. i only use after work and on days off. i just don't tell anyone. nobody's business.

all the best

This is why associates are stupid and lazy. Good to know that Kroger doesnt pay you druggies a living wage.

 Unless if you are involved in an accident in the store. Our store in the Local 1996 area will test as part of the investigation
