Navigating Job Offer Anxiety: Sales Role at Waste Management and Medical Marijuana Concerns

Today, I wanted to share my experience regarding a job offer I received from Waste Management in Pennsylvania. After an exhausting eight-month job search, which included three months of helping my dad through a health scare, I finally got an offer in sales. However, there's a catch: I need to complete a drug screening and background check. As a licensed medical marijuana patient in Pennsylvania, I'm feeling a bit anxious about how this might affect my offer. I'm unsure if I should bring up my medical marijuana card with the recruiter or hiring manager proactively, or just wait to see the results of the drug screening. I've heard mixed opinions about the protections offered under Pennsylvania’s Medical Marijuana Act. Some people have suggested that organizations with federal contracts may not recognize state laws, which adds to my stress. I’m really excited about the opportunity but worried that I could lose it over this issue. If anyone has navigated a similar situation, your advice would be greatly appreciated!
