Colorado NASCAR driver suspended medical marijuana use

Ronnie Hults, A NASCAR driver has been suspended indefinitely after testing positive for marijuana. But Ronnie Hults says he got the drug legally, as a prescription for chronic pain.

While the state constitution allows people to smoke and buy medical marijuana, those rules may not apply to your workplace.

More than 127,000 people have medical marijuana cards in Colorado, but all can be suspended or fired if their employer has a policy against drug use.

That is what happened to Hults and now his NASCAR career could be over.

"Since I was a kid I've always told everybody I'm going to be a racecar driver," he said.
