Marijuana is no longer just an issue for employers in a few states. As marijuana use, both medicinal and recreational, continues to become legally accepted in the U.S., and it may ultimately be removed as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This will change how employers approach Cannabis at work.
