It is becoming increasingly important for employers to understand and keep pace with evolving changes in State law governing the use of marijuana. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, however, and strictly speaking, federal law preempts state law. In this climate, employers in Washington where legal marijuana use has been expanded need to be aware of the interplay among marijuana and employment laws and make some tough policy calls, proactively.
In this CoffeeTalk, Erin Jacobson, Staff Counsel at Archbright, will cover federal and state laws governing marijuana possession and use, workplace issues raised by the legalization of marijuana, testing methods, and employer policy considerations.
