Employers across the country are being caught in a tight
squeeze because more states have legalized cannabis while at the
same time increasing protections for those who use it medically and
recreationally. State legal protections are increasingly banning or
limiting employers from testing for cannabis. Especially for
companies in industries like manufacturing and health care, where
safety is a critical part of the job, this tension is raising fears
among employers that more employees will be showing up to work
impaired. But because of the way legalization has come about, there
is no consistency across jurisdictions, leaving employers to sift
through the haze of conflicting state laws.
