Atlanta Suspends Pre-Employment Drug Testing, Good News for Medical Marijuana Patients?

Atlanta used to be a place with no regard for medical cannabis patients, there were no definite laws to prevent discrimination. Luckily, the city recently made the first move to protect medical cannabis patients in the work sector. On January 19th, 2021, the city suspended such pre-employment practices for specific occupations with an executive order. The executive order exempts prospective employees from physical examination and describes the test as a “barrier” that disrupts the hiring process. The city of Atlanta suspending pre-employment drug testing is GREAT news for cannabis consumers. It was predicted that there’ll be a lot of positive developments in 2021; well, so far so good!
