    Mad dog this is what the recruiter told me. I told him about my prescription and asked what will happen when the test comes back positive he said "if you have a prescription than it's not an illegal drug"

    I'm not missing the point, just because states legalize marijuana don't mean anything, the federal government deems it illegal ,most trucks run under federal law

    I understand the reason for its use however the reason its banned from driving is its proven it impedes your driving skills the same as alcohol.

    The federal goverment deems heroin illegal in the USA.

    Do you know that percoset, vicodan, etc. are synthetic heroin?

    Do you know that you can drive a CDL class A vehicle when you have a valid perscription from a Dr for those medications?

    True but the OP has it in the form of oil and cooks it in his or her food.So the side affects may be different.

    False, your doctor will pull your class 1 if you take over 20mg of oxy or 5mg of benzodiazepines per day, you should not drive trucks if you are a DRUG ADDICT

    At least he's trying to earn income rather than be yet another leech on the government teet. Good on him for that.

    HAHA do you even read what you write

    You just negated your own argument in one sentence

    You better have a drink and calm down, I'm sure your ok with coming to work with a hangover because alcohol is legal even though it slows your reaction time hours after consumption
