what is unsafe about having marijuana in your purse or briefcase? is it any less safe than having tylenol, lego or some other non work related item on your person?
safety is a non issue, no one is saying its cool to be high at work, by marijuana or otherwise.

Are they the same, I seem to think that sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't.

medical means you have access to different distribution channels and different rights. for instance in banff its prohibited to smoke marijuana just about anywhere in public, medical marijuana excepted.
the product is the same. you choose your strain in both systems.

I would assume it would be no issue if they can provide records that their cannabis is prescribed. They would probably need to justify use at work (which probably isn't a thing).

its none of my employers business what my doctor prescribes me and for why. unless it will impair my ability to perform my duties, but thats not unique to marijuana. does Mary the receptionist have to disclose her thyroid medication? whats the difference? no one is saying companies should allow people to be impaired at work but thats not with this is about. some people have sleeping pills for example, they take them AFTER HOURS at night. these could impair them at work if they took them with lunch. so shuld they have to tell their employer about them too? thats silly and none of the employers business.
its a complete invasion of personal privacy and could cause significant problems if for example i was identified by a drug sniffing dog and all my colleagues made assumptions that i now needed to disclose.
sorry, this company is abusive. i bet their executives think nothing of drinking scotch with a cigar after a big deal or ordering a bottle of wine at dinner with clients.
not all marijuana impairs by the way so what are they afraid of?
a DONT BE IMPAIRED BY ANYTHING ON THE JOB rule is cool, why does it need to be be anything other than that?
