Absolute lifesavers in the current climate
I am currently facing issues with my employer, which has outdated policies and complete misunderstanding of current legislation, combined with stigma against cannabis.
After getting in touch, I spoke to David over the phone and we had a really good chat as to the application of legislation and my rights. Quite frankly the biggest benefit was speaking to someone likeminded, even though CBPMs are legal, so many medical cannabis patients are treated like criminals and drug addicts. It gave me the boost I needed to fight back, after spending the weekend feeling as if I had something horribly illegal sat in my home.
It is disgusting, and there is still very little help for those being discriminated against - which is where CannCare comes in.
At the stage I am in, I received guidance and advice. I suggested sending a draft email across, which I intend to send to HR, which David welcomed. How they help you is guided by you - they do not take any action without you asking first, and work with you to find a resolution. If needed, they can contact your employer directly and work with them to understand where they went wrong, and how they can fix and update there policies.
I think they will be a VERY big player in the MC field here, and I would absolutely contact them if you are having issues too.
Their approach is holistic, you aren't contacting a national chain with no idea what you're going through. Ultimately you are dealing with people in the same shoes as you, who've faced exactly the same discrimination. That puts them in a much better place to help, I think, than perhaps ACAS who could very well give you incorrect application of legislation and be of little help.
