In the facility where I work (Pennsylvania), it is not legal in the state, but even if it was, we follow federal law. I have found something as simple as marijuana lotion. I had to tell the patient I was taking it to lock it up and then a family member came to get it. It was not allowed to be in the facility, let alone be used.

He needs to admit his error to his supervisor and testing will then be done on patient and himself.

Unfortunately, some people are dissatisfied with their own lives so they are mean and rude to other people to make themselves feel better. If you know you are competent and a good nurse, try your best to ignore them. You are there for your patient. If it gets to the point of being harassing, then you might have to go to HR about it. And I agree with previous post, ask them why they are doing it. It definitely is not professional for them to do that sort of thing in front of patients.
