Imagine being shunned, harassed, and potentially losing your job because of a lifestyle choice that doesn't harm yourself or your colleagues. This is the reality for many Jack in the Box employees, who face severe repercussions simply for using cannabis during work hours. The personal story that sparks this petition tells the tale of employees vilified and forced to leave their jobs due to them being under the influence of cannabis, something they believe to be completely unjust.

In light of growing societal acceptance, it's time we reevaluate our stance towards cannabis use. Cannabis is legally used for medicinal and recreational purposes in several US states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Research suggests that moderate cannabis use does not impair cognitive function or workplace performance, as stated by the Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health.

This petition is not asking Jack in the Box, or any other organization, to oversee unsafe working conditions. Instead, it calls for the decriminalization of stoned employees and for a comprehensive review of how cannabis use is currently perceived in the workplace; potentially including changes to the company's drug testing policy.

We encourage Jack in the Box to reconsider their protocols in light of the evolving societal stance towards cannabis. By amending their perspective and approach towards employee cannabis use, they can contribute to a more inclusive, fair and progressive work environment.

Stand with us, stand with the hard-working, dedicated employees of Jack in the Box who simply want to exercise their personal choice regarding cannabis use without fear of job loss. Your signature signifies your support for this much-needed change. Sign the petition today.
