Let’s clarify.
Yes, it is true that marijuana is legal in Colorado – and is available in many forms, including candy bars.
Do not misunderstand: under federal law, marijuana is still an illegal drug for commercial drivers.
The MRO will not be sympathetic to the driver who says, “It was there.” and “I was curious.” If you test positive for marijuana – no matter where you consumed it or in what form – you have tested positive, and your career with MTI is over.
With the new federal data base of all commercial drivers who have tested positive, a quickly made decision could mean that no truck line will offer you a driving position.
