Medical Marijuana Recommendation
Hi everyone, with me being bored in quarantine and still being less than 21, I was wondering if there was any downside to getting a medical recommendation from a weed doctor. Does this show up on background checks, is there anything to worry about? Obviously testing is something I should take note of, but does anyone else had bad experiences? PS this is a recommendation and not a state issued med card.
It won't show up on a background check. Companies won't be asking for your medical records, which I'm not even sure if their allowed to do anyway unless you're working in a specific (non-finance) industry.
As for bg checks, your med card will not get you out of being tested for weed. It won't get you out of trouble if you fail the test either. If you get a drug test that catches you off guard, then buy Quick Fix.
Thanks for the reply. If I were to get a recommendation letter that expires in a year, would my info still be in a "file" or "database"? And are government jobs out of the question later on in my career?
As a medical marijuana card holder, my doctor says will not show up on the vast majority of background checks (said he couldn’t comment on top secret, government style checks; assumed it would come up there). Last 2 years I passed my background check with a card. I’m reasonably sure it’s protected by HIPPA. That being said, stay off the weed for a few months if you are getting tested. Pot is not a good reason to throw away a good job.
Thanks for the reply! Do you hold a state-issued med card or do you have a recommendation letter from a "weed doctor"? Do BB banks dive into deeper background checks?
Genuinely curious - is drug testing a thing in the USA for IB jobs?
This sounds absurd to me if it is a requirement.
Fuck it dude... smoke up. It’s just weed... you’re not freebasing fuckin black tar heroin
LOL yea they are an actual thing. It sucks, but it is what it is. Hopefully with the elections, marijuana will be legalized on a federal level.
