Good afternoon All,

 

So, with marijuana now legal in the state of CT, hospitals are looking to each other to determine if they should accept recreational marijuana use as a legitimate explanation for a positive THC test. The law gives some leeway to health care organizations to make their own decision about this – at least for now.

 

Another topic of discussion is whether we should find a reasonable HCW panel that does not include marijuana.

 

Any thoughts from you pioneers out there that you want to share would be greatly appreciated.       

 

Thank you,

 

Craig
