Medical cards and your job
A state card does not change federal workplace testing. For DOT-regulated jobs, a Medical Review Officer must not verify a test as negative because of a state medical recommendation (49 CFR § 40.151(e)).
For Oklahoma’s own workplace rules, see Oklahoma cannabis employment law.
