Being The first person to legally buy recreational marijuana in Spokane Cost Him His Job

The first person to legally buy recreational marijuana in Spokane, Washington, says he is out of a jobbecause of it.

Mike Boyer says he was fired after his bosses saw him on a local newscast on Tuesday. He was featured legally buying weed.

Boyer — who camped outside the Green Leaf dispensary for 19 hours in order to be the first person to legally purchase recreational pot in Spokane — says his employer requested he take a drug test within 24 hours.

The 30-year-old, who says he's worked as a security guard "on and off for 12 years," had signed an agreement several years ago agreeing to the drug ban. (It's unclear which security firm had requested the drug test; Boyer did not immediately return a request seeking clarification.)

"I don’t regret it,” Boyer told the Daily News. “We don’t line up for Black Friday, we line up for ‘Green Tuesday.' People camp out for Star Wars and donuts — this is more important than that."

It was so important, Boyer took the day off work to be there.
