Recycling worker wins unfair dismissal case after being sacked for failing a drugs test while taking cannabis for his bad back

"A recycling worker sacked for failing a drugs test has won an unfair dismissal case after a judge accepted he was taking cannabis for his bad back.

Carl Pamment used the class B drug to tackle severe pain and help him sleep.

It helped him return to work after being off sick and did not affect his performance, the employment tribunal heard."

Nice one!
This could stop companies even bothering to test... At the end of the day the test just shows you have used weed in the last 30 days, not how often or how much unless the take hair samples

At the end of the day, if it's not affecting your work, it's no bloody business of your employer what you do out of work...
