DANNY CEBALLOS, Appellant, vs. NP PALACE, LLC, D/B/A PALACE STATION HOTEL & CASINO, Respondent., 514 P.3d 1074

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Adult recreational marijuana use did not qualify for protection under Nev. Rev. Stat. § 613.333 where although Nevada had decriminalized adult recreational marijuana use, the drug continued to be illegal under federal law, and as a result, its use was not lawful in the state; [2]-Because Nev. Rev. Stat. § 678D.510(1)(a) authorized employers to prohibit or restrict recreational marijuana use by employees, an employee discharged after testing positive at work based on recreational marijuana use did not have a common-law tortious discharge claim.
