With the growing movement toward marijuana legalization, we face difficult issues in the workplace and in our workers’ compensation cases. What rights do employers continue to have in addressing marijuana use in the workplace? What rights do injured workers have to use marijuana medicinally for workers’ compensation injuries? What happens when these issues intersect? 

This program will cover: (1) the current state cannabis legalization within the State of California and U.S.; (2) current thoughts around the efficacy of cannabis as a medical treatment; (3) issues employers face with increasing numbers of workers using cannabis during off-work hours; and (4) the overlapping issues for worker’s compensation claims.
