Employers grapple with medical marijuana use

By Stephanie Armour, USA TODAY

On a typical weekday, stockbroker Irvin Rosenfeld has a marijuana
cigarette before work, then goes to his firm's smoking area for
another after he gets to the office. By day's end, he usually has
smoked more than a half-dozen joints - and handled millions of
dollars' in clients' holdings.

There's nothing illegal about it. Rosenfeld, 54, of Fort Lauderdale,
has a condition that causes benign tumors in the long bones of his
body. After trying to control pain by taking narcotics such as
Dilaudid, he persuaded the U.S. government to put him in a test
program that gives marijuana to people with certain illnesses. His
pain is now manageable, he says.

"I've smoked 10 to 12 marijuana cigarettes a day for 25 years," says
Rosenfeld, adding he gets no euphoric effect from the drug. "All my
clients know I use it. Without it, I wouldn't be able to work." His
firm, Newbridge Securities, supports his use of marijuana and says it
hasn't hurt his performance.
