I have a medical marijuana card in Arizona and use it for chronic pain. My employer recently drug tested me and, despite disclosing my MM card, they said they don't recognize it and might terminate me if I test positive again. They also asked me to complete a drug addiction program. As a cardholder, are they allowed to dismiss the fact that I have the card? Do I have any rights regarding this disability and my use of Medical Marijuana?

I had an on-the-job injury 22 years ago and have been approved for both worker's compensation and social security disability. Both organizations have inconsistently over or underpaid me over the years. Currently, SSA has determined they overpaid me by about $300k due to not deducting the worker's comp offset, leading to a 10-year suspension of payments. OWCP is also currently deducting for an unspecified reason. I found a relevant paragraph, FECA 8113, that might apply to my situation. I am a former federal employee and was in a SES candidate development program at the time of my injury. I am seeking advice on how to handle this situation and recommendations for an attorney specializing in OWCP, FECA, and SSA.

We filed a motion to compel the defendants to answer our interrogatories and production in Louisiana, and the court granted a hearing next Tuesday. The defendants recalled their answers for production and re-filed the interrogatories last month with the correct number. Do I need to respond to this and if so, how?
