Casual pot use a disability: Alberta judge - By Sarah O'Donnell, CanWest News Service

The decision could place new legal limits on when workers can be tested for drugs.
"It is important for all workers," said Leanne Chahley, an Edmonton labour lawyer who regularly represents unions.------------------------------------------- posted 6:12 AM :: reference link ::
