Ivo Skoric , representing himself, told the justices at his hearing in May that he is legally prescribed medical cannabis by a doctor and that his work performance is not affected by the medicine.

On Jan. 9, 2023 , he was terminated from his part-time job cleaning and fueling buses at Marble Valley Regional Transit District in Rutland for misconduct after a drug test.

He appealed to the state after he was found to be ineligible for unemployment benefits.

The Vermont Employment Security Board agreed with an administrative law judge.
