ABOUT THE EVENT
The impact of marijuana use on the workplace is skyrocketing. State after state legalizes its use, not just for medicinal purposes, but for recreational ones too. At the same time, the Feds haven’t legalized any of its use. This leads to a great deal of employer confusion over what they can and should do.
Description
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), studies suggest specific links between marijuana use and adverse consequences in the workplace, such as the increased risk of injury or accidents. One study among postal workers found that employees who tested positive for marijuana on a pre-employment urine drug test had 55 percent more industrial accidents, 85 percent more injuries, and 75 percent greater absenteeism compared with those who tested negative for marijuana use.
Not only is legalization a new problem for management, it’s also a new problem for law enforcement and the courts. Defining what it means to be “under the influence” is difficult at best, and there are few accurate measuring methods available. Thankfully that is beginning to change.
The impact of marijuana use on the workplace is skyrocketing. State after state legalizes its use, not just for medicinal purposes, but for recreational ones too. At the same time, the Feds haven’t legalized any of its use.
