The Dr.'s recommendation and registry in CO provide no legal protection from drug testing at work.

What the specific wording in the laws state is that no employer has to make any provisions for you to smoke on the job.
It does not state anything about drug testing, and/or whether or not a company could fire you on those grounds.
If you are forced to take random drug tests by your employer, and the next time you take one you OPENLY disclose that your smoking marijuana and are on the state registry for it's medical use -then I think it would be rather difficult to fire you.
If they do, I see no reason why you wouldn't have a groundbreaking court case on your hands for wrongful termination.

If they did i wonder if the americans with disabilities act would help, i mean shit would they fire some one who come up with codine or hydrocodone in their urine if they had a prescription for it?

Colorado is not a right to work state. They can fire you because they don't like your hair cut. As long as it is not related to religion, ethnicity, sex, etc... etc. They can, not hire you, or fire you at will.

As stated before being a patient on the registry does not give any protection by law.
