Polanco, Mansour and Reilly are three of five police officers the city has fired for testing positive for cannabis, despite a state law that made cannabis legal and another law that stated police officers cannot be disciplined in any way for off-duty cannabis use.
None of the five officers were accused of using cannabis on the job or being under the influence while working.
If I’m reading this correctly, the issue is really just a federal law about Schedule I drug use. Cannabis is in the process of being rescheduled out of Schedule I by the DEA, currently in a mandatory 60 day public comment period. So if that were completed already, this wouldn’t even be an issue now.
Seems pretty straightforward that this is the right call of what to do here since the only reason we’re even talking about it is bureaucratic delays with the federal process. Unless I’m missing some additional context here.

It was everywhere when the process first started. But like most news after a couple days it gets replaced. Especially with all the other crazy shit in modern society.

I’m surprised this isn’t larger news.
