Nice link (NOT!). But to answer your question. Even prescription meds can make you legally "under the influence" in most states, so civil law might indeed give you a whammy should the honey hit the articulator. However, since there are not specific blood level limits such as BAL for meds, you might get out on a technicality, because it would be their burden to prove your incapacity. Your employer will try to screw you either way (esp. if they give random drug checks for fun). A little Federal law called The Amercians with Disabilities Act might allow you to get your meds, let your employer know that you have a medical condition (for which they cannot LEGALLY discriminate against you for) and leave all liability to them as far as your job assignments go. Sound complicated? Maybe you should consider your choice of theology.
