yes, if it is found in your system at the time of the injury and is in someway responsible for the injury or linked to the injury. Otherwise no. After all, medical marijuana is sometimes prescribed for chronic pain in workers' compensation cases.

If in some way you were under influence at the time of injury and it contributed to the cause of your injury, your worker'd compensation settlement will be subjected to be reduced but a total denial is inappropriate. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for free consultation.
