Are you referring to marijuana? It is legal in Mass now?

If your employer does drug testing and you fail a urine test, yes, you can be fired.

If your employer says they want no THC use, even if it is legal, they can fire you. But if it is legal they have to warn you of the policy.

I don't think it is legal...just that you don't go to jail. So yes they can fire you.

If you have a good work history since the incident, it would likely not be a problem, unless it was a job involving security clearences. Good luck.
