Sonora Quest Laboratories, a joint venture of Banner Health and Quest Diagnostics, is highlighting the discriminatory power that private companies hold in this country in this lovely job posting looking for a phlebotomist that doesn't "use marijuana" as someone who uses marijuana clearly will not be safety conscious!
CEO of Sonora David Dexter really sums it up in an interview with Slone Partners where he explains how he motivates and leads such a large company with over 3,000 employees: "It's all about values, focus, and alignment."
It's abundantly clear the values and alignments of Banner Health and Quest Diagnostics include a shamelessly advertised dedication to maintaining the status quo that exists in this country through discriminatory hiring practices around marijuana.
Question, do you also refrain from hiring anyone who consumes alcohol in their free time? What about someone prescribed Marinol or Sativex by their doctor?
But at least Banner and Quest both threw that nod to Pride up on their Instagram pages for June! Especially love the nod to Black and brown people in Banner's profile photo, can you guess who's most disproportionately affected by these discriminatory hiring practices?? 😒

Alcohol consumption, but not the use of cannabis, is associated with changes in brain morphology, according to data published in the journal Biological Psychiatry.
Researchers with the University of Minnesota assessed the relationship between alcohol and cannabis exposure during young adulthood on brain morphology in a population-based sample of 436 twins aged 24 years.
Authors reported, “Greater alcohol, but not cannabis, misuse was associated with reduced thickness of prefrontal and frontal medial cortices, as well as [the] temporal lobe, intraparietal sulcus, insula, parietal operculum, precuneus, and parietal medial areas.”
