Florida Teacher Fired For Using Legal Medical Marijuana

On Tuesday in Melbourne Florida, the Brevard County School Board voted to fire teacher Allison Enright. As reported by NBC2, the school district has a policy that allows students to use medical marijuana but not the teachers. The reasoning used by the school board is that the school needs to enforce a drug free workplace to receive federal grants.

After a drug test, she acknowledged that she takes a pill containing THC for a health condition. Medical THC is legal in Florida. Members of the school board admitted that they didn't want to fire her, but they needed to follow the drug-free policy.

There has been no word on whether Allison Enright plans to appeal the decision. Or if she can.
