If you work for a public utility, you are likely not protected in the event of an accident, weed or no, in the state of Pennsylvania.

forget medical weed for a min, like half the state has decriminalized it, and major cities have legalized it within city limits.
so finding someone who doesn't test positive for weed is nigh impossible these days.
"medicinal marijuana" is technically prescribed by a "doctor" (it's all a bullshit ploy to enable people's access to weed under the guise of medicine, but since that avenue was the one they used, it gave the public a legal excuse to test positive for weed)
and there is no science that exists which can prove in-court whether or not you are "high" at the time of an accident
only that you have at some point within the last 30 days consumed THC
all you gotta do is be like, "I smoked weed last saturday, and here is my medical weed card"
so then the only recourse the employer has in PA is the "at-will-employment" agreement, which is the norm in PA. employers and employees can terminate employment at anytime with or without reason
so then if i got fired for wrecking a company vehicle, I'll point to hundreds of cases of employees who wrecked vehicles and kept their jobs, claiming some sort of discrimination my over-paid lawyer will come up with, then they'll settle out of court because it's not worth their trouble, give me a check and a non-disclosure agreement, and i'll never have to work again and the public will never hear about it.
happens literally all the time
