Four Jersey City police officers plan to sue the city after they were suspended without pay for testing positive for cannabis use while they were off-duty.

The officers, who were not named, are asking to be reinstated with back pay, said their attorney, Peter Paris, NJ.com reported.

Paris maintained that the disciplinary actions, which were made against the men earlier this year, are contradictory to a directive by state Attorney General Matthew Platkin, who said off-duty officers are allowed to use cannabis.

New Jersey made recreational use of marijuana legal last year.

In February, Platkin revised the state’s policy to say officers will not be tested for cannabis unless either suspected of using or under the influence while on duty.

The officers were suspended before the revision. Paris, the attorney, said the men were not suspected of using weed while working, but all three failed a random drug test.

The officers filed civil service complaints in late January.

“And we expect that we will pursue other forms of damages, including punitive damages for violating their constitutional rights,” Paris, who serves as the legal counsel for Jersey City Police Officer Benevolent Association, told the outlet.

He said the four cops use cannabis for physical and mental benefits like pain relief and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. “They are not just going around partying and stuff like that,” he said.

“For certain people, it is like a miracle drug for them. It is a shame that 99% of the departments in the state recognize that and are not trying to ruin people’s lives.”
