So, as long as I am able to work with my condition, I will have to do so with pain, nausea and vomiting. If I ever have to go on disability I will utilize medical marijuana at that time.

I really can see both sides of the fence on this one...My employer is a large utility company, and they must insure that they meet very high safety standards.. I work in customer service, so it is not like there is a safety issue there, but they really must apply the same rules to everyone.
