How One Firefighter’s Cannabis Use Became a Legal Debate

This week, Scott Martin joins the podcast to talk about his involvement in a cannabis case that may change how cities across the country treat employees who use medical marijuana. In 2020, Scott was fired from the Buffalo Fire Department for testing positive for marijuana — despite having all the documentation needed to use it medically. On the pod, Scott details the story of how he came to use medical cannabis as a way to treat PTSD, and why he was fired from his job despite living in a state where the drug has been legalized. Cannabis attorney David Holland also joins the podcast to talk about the case in context, and gives a birds-eye view on the factors and consequences of the landmark lawsuit.
