Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel doesn’t believe legal marijuana use should be grounds to disqualify someone from unemployment benefits.
An HVAC employee, while off duty, crashed a company car, a maintenance man injured himself on the job and a warehouse worker was hospitalized due to an on-the-job accident. All tested positive for marijuana, although it’s not clear how long before their accidents they ingested it. All claim to have been sober at the time of their incidents.
Nessel argued that the statute’s drug disqualification only applies to illegal drugs. Marijuana is no longer an illegal drug in Michigan for anyone over 21, despite still being listed as an illegal controlled substance by the federal government.
