Webinar One: Smoke & Fire: Trends in Marijuana Use, Reasonable Suspicion, and Drug Testing
Wednesday, June 14, 2023 | 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)

The legalization of marijuana continues to have far-reaching implications on workplace safety. With shifting recreational and medical marijuana laws at the state level, and potentially at the federal level, employer policies geared towards maintaining a drug-free workplace are no longer straightforward. Furthermore, while recreational marijuana is often compared to alcohol, assessing marijuana impairment is much more complicated because current testing only proves past use. Join us for a state-by-state update on Marijuana use and policy trends, as well as trends in reasonable suspicion and drug testing.
