Latest CDC Employer Guidance Suggests Marijuana Legalization May Be Coming Soon

The CDC argued that employers should at the very minimal prohibit workers from consuming “on the job site” or showing up to work impaired. This of course is common sense, but officially this is the recommendation. The CDC also suggested that companies employ a lawyer to check over their cannabis policy so that it’s in line with state legislation. Another suggestion that the CDC offered was to provide workers with “access to support” to employees with a substance abuse problem with “in-house solutions” or recommending people to local resources. This is an interesting approach and is counter the typical approach of just firing someone if they struggle with drug use.
