ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
A former Presbyterian Health Services employee fired for using medical marijuana was in court Thursday, fighting to get her job back.
Donna Smith has her medical marijuana license, but Presbyterian said she’s violating federal law.
Smith uses medical marijuana to treat her post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the military for six years.
“As a patient, as a patient advocate, it just feels like it’s a catch 22,” Smith said.
Smith worked at Presbyterian on Harper Drive. She was contracted through an agency in February 2014 as a physician’s assistant, but after four days of being hired, she was let go.
