Mike Boyer of Spokane, Wash., is a living, breathing, human roller coaster.
Boyer was riding a soaring crest when he was excitedly the first buyer of legal marijuana in Spokane on July 8. to film him as he cracked open his bag of legal weed and smoked up — bonus.
“I wanted the title of being the first guy to buy legal marijuana in Spokane,” . “It only comes once in a lifetime.”
But Boyer hit a new low when he learned that one of his employers had seen the televised broadcast and wanted him to submit a drug test. As the story quickly went viral, even the in the Pacific Northwest.
A few days later, Boyer again hit soaring heights when he learned that his job had been reinstated by employer TrueBlue Labor Ready. Score, Boyer!
“I’m actually all right,” . “It all worked out.”
with a play-by-play from Boyer, who shared his interactions with TrueBlue and another of his employers, Kodiak Security Services, which also got pulled into the fray.
According to NBC News, a TrueBlue spokeswoman said there was a misunderstanding about Boyer’s work schedule that led to the request for a drug test.
“When we realized that he was not on assignment, we reinstated him. … Pot is legal, and we know that,” Stacey Burke said.
Thatap not to say Boyer couldn’t have pursued a career in the marijuana industry. National cannabis jobs website issued a press release July 11 saying it had reached out to Boyer offering to help with his job hunting.
