The D.C. Office of Employee Appeals (OEA) ruled in favor of a government employee and medical marijuana (MMJ) patient who was fired after being suspected of intoxication in the workplace and who subsequently tested positive for marijuana in late 2020.
The Washington, D.C. administrative court reversed the termination of the employee and also, ordered the Office of Unified Communications (OUC) to reimburse the worker for all back pay and benefits.
