Not entirely true - ballot initiatives in Ohio can be changed even after the voters approve it. So, for example, they could legalize, but then Ohio could change the bill to only legalize low potency products.
So once we get to fully half the nation have state legal cannabis… can we please just legalize federally? I don’t even use the shit but this is just getting ridiculous watching every state ignore the feds on this issue and the feds not even saying anything
Curious how it would be handled by private businesses, who frequently drug test employees, would those sorts of tests still happen? Would it be sort of quasi-illegal, since failing a drug test might affect employment, or do those sorts of tests just go away? How has it played out in other states that have legalized it?
My company stopped testing for weed several years before it was legal in my city, once the neighboring state 5 minutes from our downtown legalized most of the business gave up enforcing thc tests. I’m sure the yokels continued to test but the cities gave up
They barely test for it in NJ anymore. State laws have protected users. I just took a test for a job was 10 panel - NO THC. In NJ they have to prove that you are impaired on work hours PLUS a positive test to take action. Just the test alone doesn’t work.
This doesn’t apply to federal positions… and placed with federal contracts can chose to ignore this.
I work for a hospital in Illinois. When recreational passed, we were sent notice that the hospital recognizes the legality, instructs (like with alcohol) that it’s not to be used during your work hours, and that if you have reason to believe that your usage will interfere with your work, please speak to your manager about it.
It’s gonna depend on how each state phrases the law. It just became legal in Minnesota and the law specifically states that employers cannot discriminate against employees who test positive on a drug test, and employers would have to prove it was used on the job to terminate an employee.
Other states might leave provisions like that out, on purpose or otherwise.
Yeah but then we’d be ohigho and nobody wants that except for the people who hang out at the intersection of gay and high streets in Columbus /s
Added sarcasm tag because I’m an Ohioan who thought I was being clever. Seriously we’ve needed legal weed for years. Our medical cards are too restrictive as is.
