Question by Fed Up: Does Massachusetts require anyone who tests positive for drugs to go to rehab?
I just started doing business in MA. I had an employee test positive for marijuana and I am being told by fellow business owners that I must send him to rehab in lieu of firing him. Is this true?

Check with your company’s attorney, but it sounds like involuntary servitude (on your part) to me. You can’t be forced to pay for the results of someone else’s actions. (Didn’t some people in Massachusetts complain about something very similar a couple of hundred years ago? Something about throwing a tea party for the king?)
