CA Supreme Court: Ragingwire affirmed.

Published by Jon-Erik G. Storm

The Supreme Court, 5-0, per Werdegar (who appeared to be toughest on the Defendants), affirmed the decision in Ragingwire on the basis that “simply does not speak to employment law.”  (Slip Op. at 14.)  That very may well be the case, but this doesn’t seem to confront the conflict of law issue that this case presents, other than to say that the Compassionate Use Act didn’t attempt to “do the impossible” by making marijuana on par with prescription drugs, but just meant to limit the effect of two state criminal laws. (Slip. Op. at 5.)

By now it’s on the back burner, but with the issue of DHS “no match” letters hanging over the workplace, some guidance about how the courts would rule when employers are caught in a federalism pincer maneuver would be helpful.

New developments on the end of the Legislature’s session.

I completed my interviews for this early, and I will be in Sacramento on business next week, so I wanted to be sure to get this up ASAP. Enjoy.
