GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A former Gentex Corp. worker says she was forced out after her doctor told her employer she used marijuana.

 

filed a federal lawsuit against Spectrum Health Systems after a neurosurgeon's office provided her employer with information that she "uses illicit drugs (marijuana) about five times per week."

 

said she had been prescribed medical marijuana by her regular doctor for chronic pain, but rarely used it.

 

She tested negative for marijuana but was "encouraged and pressured" by Gentex officials to resign and accept a severance package, her attorney wrote in court documents.

 

The lawsuit was filed last week in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.
