Benefits Canada has completed an article on a debate that will be taking place with Doctors who are on either side of the Medical Marijuana usage.
I use my Naturopath more than I use my Family Physician, so I am all about alternate treatments. There seems to be so many questions surrounding Marijuana.
- Who is growing it?
- What chemicals they use?
- What potency?
- Does your Employee Benefit Plan cover Medical Marijuana?
- If so, what kinds, how much, for what conditions?
- Where are the employees suppose to buy it?
- Can they bring it and use it at the workplace?
- Is this any different from Opioids?
Marijuana is in your workplace. What policies have you set up to deal with Medical Marijuana?
I recommend that you contact Melody White at Integrated Talent Solutions (It’s HR) to ensure you have the proper procedures in place to deal with substances in the work place.
Contact Glendinning Insurance Services, your Resource Specialist to review the coverage your plan has for Medical Marijuana.
