You can smoke it, you can vape it, you can bake it, you can take it, but can you pass? As more states continue to legalize marijuana, both medically and recreationally, many employers are left with unanswered questions about what impact the legalization of marijuana will have in the workplace and what steps they can take to ensure a safe working environment for all employees. Join us for a panel discussion in which we tackle:
- How legal is legal?
- What types of medical conditions qualify for medical cannabis treatment?
- What is the process for obtaining a written certification for medical cannabis?
- How is dosage determined for medical cannabis?
- How is medical cannabis dispensed?
- In what form is medical cannabis dispensed?
- When is drug testing permissible (pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion)?
- What type of testing is involved (saliva, urine, blood)?
- How is the testing performed?
- What information does the testing for marijuana reveal (Potency? Usage dates?)?
- How do employers learn about the results of the testing?
- When do employers need to engage in the interactive process under the ADA, VHRA, VDA?
- What considerations are there for safety-sensitive position, unionized workforces, multi-state employers, and federal contractors?
