TESTING POSITIVE FOR WORK/JOB HIRE

You can’t be fired from your job just for testing positive for weed, under new guidelines.

While a positive drug test for marijuana won’t by itself be grounds to fire or discipline a staffer, or to decline to hire someone, an employee could still be let go if they’re also shown to be under the influence during work hours.

Drug tests, meanwhile, can find evidence of THC — the compound that gives marijuana its high — weeks after it's been used and long after its effects have worn off, said Lewis Nelson, who chairs emergency medicine at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School in Newark.

CAN YOUR EMPLOYER DRUG TEST YOU

Yes, your employer can test you if they have a “reasonable suspicion for impairment.”

The state’s cannabis laws have allowed employers to conduct random drug screenings, but a positive test wasn’t enough to fire an employee. That’s where the drug recognition process kicks in.

Employers, under the guidelines, can fill out a “reasonable suspicion” report that documents the worker’s behavior, physical appearance and other evidence. The commission posted a sample form online weed blog
