I do not partake in marijuana, so I was surprised when one of my friends, who has a prescription for medical marijuana, was telling me all the different options that are available for ingesting marijuana. So back to my question;
- Would you even know if marijuana is in your workplace?
- How do you test for it?
- Can you test for it?
I found this article in infonews.ca that speaks to workplace safety. Ottawa has set July 1, 2017 as the deadline for regulations regarding legalizing marijuana. Many provinces and territories are still working to craft legislation.
Benefits Canada is saying that Ontario is working on rules to ban recreational marijuana from the workplace.
The time is now to create the culture and the workplace rules surrounding marijuana.
