Surge in medicinal cannabis use forces a safety reckoning for WA's mining industry

The growing use of prescribed medicinal cannabis is creating a headache for WA mining companies.abc.net.au/news/medicinal-cannabis-fifo-workers-prohibition-safety/102190122Mining companies in Western Australia are standing down workers who legally use prescription cannabis, as they struggle to determine what level of use makes an employee unfit for work.

The ABC has seen FMG policy documents stating it will consider allowing the use of medicinal cannabis in order to be "progressive and equitable" but only if THC levels are below 50ug/L , which some users say is so low it is ineffective. As a sub-contractor tradesman working on an FMG site, he failed a random drug test and was sent home for five weeks despite presenting a legal prescription.

"They flew me to Perth halfway through my swing, and then I had to do a drug test in Perth, which I actually passed," he said.

'impairment' versus 'detection' If people put as much thought into establishing this difference as they do into stupid propaganda that Cannabis is just like Heroin maybe we could get on with everyone realizing half the workforce is already smoking daily and you cant tell.

Noone who is mentally impaired by any substance, should be operating machinery. This also applies to driving on the road. If their is a Statutory drug test level applied in employment agreements and for a licence, so be it. No argument. We don't want them on the road with us.

will there be a reckoning at ultimo?

If I can’t write a positive story on the lnp, I’ll just make click bait.

It’s a legal prescription to use it, not to work while under the influence. If he needs medical cannabis to survive, maybe he should find a different occupation.

Free the weed to grow for all. We will still be poor but a least we wont care so much.

Yet no concern for all the people that were illegally forced by governments and these companies to have experimental vaccines and the huge increase in heart related issues, attacks and deaths
