Pot is legal in CA, but it's treated like alcohol. You can get a DUI for
pot just as easily as for booze. I would treat it the same as alcohol,
permission slip or not.
There used to be an issue for pot in that it will stay in your
bloodstream for quite a while; not sure how long but I seem to recall
about a month. I have no idea if they've figured out how to deal with that.

I have always had employees that were in rehab. But never had anyone

enough to buy whisky too, but I doubt any employer would be OK with me
sucking a flask while working.
I know certain prescription conventional drugs can make you not safe
to operate equipment. But this guy had to operate equipment as part
of his job. I would make an accommodation for someone that had pain
meds temporarily that left them a bit impaired but not as an every day
thing.
This guy was MAX drama too. One thing I tell everyone when I hire
them, the only thing I really care about is no drama. Do not bring
your drama to work.

I think the ADA does want you to accommodate rehab appointments in
someone’s work schedule.
…..which I would do anyway. If they’re working on getting
straight I don’t want to stand in their way. I don’t know if
anyone goes to rehab for pot though. Probably not.

Utah code 26-61a-111(4)..
"Nothing in this section requires a private employer to
accommodate the use of medical cannabis or affects the ability of
a private employer to have policies restricting the use of medical
cannabis by applicants or employees."
There are also federal court cases where the court has determined
that marijuana use is not subject to the ADA.
