Going to start off by saying please do not reply to this post if it's not a serious response to the question, thank you in advance.
Alright, let's begin. I work as an EMT right now in Southern California, and was recently accepted into paramedic school in Arizona, where I plan on working as a medic after completing the program. I have had issues sleeping since I was a kid and the past year and a half I've been really struggling with getting proper sleep but I've just been pushing through it and working with around 3-5 hours of sleep every night. Anyways, my partner said that there are different laws in Arizona and that medical marijuana usage is legal there and that Arizona law protects employees from being terminated for solely having their medical card, or showing positive on a drug test for marijuana with a valid card. Now here is my main question, does anyone have any input on the 911 ambulance companies, like Southwest/Rural Metro/AMR and what their individual policies are for this? Also, no I will not be usin marijuana at work or within 12 hours of a shift and I would never jeapordize my career to simply smoke marijuana. It's simply the best sleep aid I've had and I've been on many different medications for sleep that I did not like or they would just make me feel sick in the morning so I don't take anything now and it's been tough. Anyways, would love to get some input and I appreciate the help!
Have a great day everyone.
