The mere possibility that Walmart would have faced legal ramifications in this situation, simply for not following federal statue, is far more absurd than any "frivolity" of this case.

Given that Mr Casias was prescribed medical marijuana legally after 2008, it's hard to understand the concept that "federal law says marijuana is illegal".

On a boarder issue, so many people have their heads up their rear ends regarding marijuana. Cigarette smoking kills more people every year. There are far more car accidents involving drunks. Yet there are no laws that say you can't light up or take a drink.

I don't smoke pot, never have, don't plan on it (unless I'm diagnosed with some illness where M.M. might alleviate symptoms)......but am sick and tired of companies like Walmart hiding behind these specious arguments (and Jake, I'm sorry, they ARE specious).

As for the "advocate to change policy"....are you serious????? I'd have better odds of living to be 150 than his odds of changing the policy.

I'll freely admit that I have it in for Walmart - they suck as a company, they treat their employees like crap, they try to use the govt to seize property (E.D.), and I'd love to see them get knocked down about 100 pegs.
