when it's medically prescribed as a replacement of sleeping pills, etc? kind of my dude. Think compassionately.

Then can't you get a drs note to explain why it's in your system?
If this question wasn't asked so frequently (not just for Maine health, it's been asked quite a bit for similar companies)
Be open and upfront about it. Don't try to hide and then try to explain it. If the employer still has an issue, you can look elsewhere for work!

Hospitals get federal funding, and cannabis is illegal federally. If you explain yourself, it won't matter.

Not necessarily. Maine law does protect against employer discrimination of medical marijuana users.
Getting some federal funding does not mean the employer is required to drug test, let alone test for THC.

Thank you for this, I stand corrected.

A Dr note will not work for jobs that have federally mandated testing. It's still illegal at the federal level
