I was looking into getting my medical card and wondering about some potentally negative things that can be associated with it such as not being able to get a job. I'm looking to hear what could or couldn't happen in a perfect world I'm looking to see what happens in reality.

in the real world companies ask you to take drug tests for jobs...but....in the real world exists companies that sell synthetic urine that beat those tests.
It's a give and take kind of world. The more you know beforehand the better off you are going to be. You are looking into it the right way, good luck.

Yeah I mean I realize that I can get tested by these companies I'm just concerned that once I get to the point where I might no longer need it I will have issues getting certain jobs that might do a very thorough background check or something like that and turn that business up.

they can't look into your medical records and will not unless you are applying for some weird job like with NASA or something that needs security clearance or something like that. They might check your credit and background as far as job references and criminal activity to see if you have ever been convictred of a crime, but not your medical history.....patient-doctor confidentiality baby!

This is correct, no one, not even law enforcement has access to your medical records without your permission (or subpoena).MichiganMedhead said:
