Does having medical marjuana card override non-smoking?
<p>If someone has a medical marijuana card, can they smoke in areas that don't allow smoking (for example inside restaurants or at work)? I'm curious about Vancouver, BC in particular. </p>

<p>The fact that you have a medical condition doesn't change the rules set by a private establishment or business. </p>

<p>A restaurant can bar all types of smoking (Including Vaping). Your medical condition would not be an exemption to this rule.</p>

<p>Your employer can have terms of employment that would prohibit you from smoking tobacco or even medicinal marijuana. So even thou you have a "doctors note", it doesn't change the fact that your job can randomly drug test you and subsequently fire you for testing positive for marijuana.</p>

<p>Furthermore, while many countries are relaxing drug laws and allowing for recreational and medicinal marijuana. Most still have stipulations that you must smoke it in private.</p>

<p>That card means that the person will not be arrested for smoking marijuana if they smoke marijuana. But they can get thrown out of a building for smoking if they smoke, and smoking marijuana is no exception. </p>

<p>If you need to smoke marijuana, then you need to do the same thing as someone who needs to smoke tobacco: Find a place where it is allowed to smoke. </p>
