Saskatchewan town worker dismissed
for marijuana-filled driving trip
Vaping allowed but not
before operating machines
DURING A TRIP in Saskatchewan from Kinder-
sley to Humboldt, a labourer for the town vaped
medical marijuana multiple times while seated
behind the wheel.
Jesse Desjarlais had worked at the Town of
Kindersley recreation department as a labourer
since September 2013, when on April 1, 2016, he
and two colleagues, Victor Constantino and Jer-
son Pacis, signed out a town SUV and headed out
to Humboldt for a week of training courses.
Because he was most familiar with the route,
Desjarlais drove. But within five minutes, Pacis
noticed the smell of marijuana inside the vehicle.
Constantino testified he heard the vaping ma-
chine's distinctive beeping sound.
