    Of course they can be fired. They can be arrested too. It's against federal law.

    but not against state law, and the 10th amendment gives the right to the states to create/enforce laws that aren't spelled out in the constitution, such as this. So, the feds aren't following the letter of the law and they are the ones who should be prosecuted.
    Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

    The Feds have gone into CA though and have arrested medical marijuana users for a while now. I don't know all the specifics, but it's turned into a war between state law and Fed law.

    yep, no doubt about it. But, please notice that this is not a "war between state law and fed law." The 10th amendment of the constitution is a federal law... so, it is a "war between the feds and federal AND state laws."

    Anybody can basically be fired for any reason at all. The employer doesn't need to state why.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
