[MCOH-EH] Does workplace drug testing for marijuana change when a state legalizes it?

[Thorne, Craig]

Good afternoon everyone,

I am curious if anyone can answer some of these questions relating to workplace drug testing for marijuana when a state legalizes it?


1.      Do Medical Centers remove marijuana from its panel (for non CDL/federal workers)

a.       Does such a panel even exist?

2.      If you are providing employee health services to external companies, do they (or can they) ask you to exclude marijuana from testing?

3.      Bonus question :) - How do law enforcement officers recognize and test for marijuana if a driver appears intoxicated?

Of course, any references would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Craig Thorne, M.D.
