Five supervisors at a city bus sightseeing company claim they were wrongfully fired for legal and medical marijuana use, new court papers show.

Randy Culbert says he used pot gummies to help him sleep after a surgery and he got fired by the company.

The field supervisors claim the drug test was a pretext to get them all fired since the company already knew they all used pot.The company “utilized the drug testing as a pretext to terminate the [plaintiffs], when the real reason for their termination was based on their protected classes,” the suit claims, noting that one was disabled and the others were all black.

Go New York Tours/Topview Sight Seeing fire five employees after they were subjected to marijuana drug tests.“I had a heart attack and took CBD gummies to help me sleep after my surgery,” Culbert said in a statement. “My employer ordered me to take a tox screening, I tested positive for THC and was fired.”

Three of the workers were offered their jobs back after their lawyer contacted Topview, the suit states. “On March 31, 2021, New York legalized recreational use outside of work,” plaintiff lawyer Bradley Siegel told The Post. “Employers are not allowed to test, with few exceptions.
