The new policy was implemented in hopes of bridging the gap between corporate office employees and those on the retail floor.

    I’ve usually had to drug test exactly once, but some jobs not even that. I’m wondering how it’s gonna be now as pot is legal where I live

      When CT legalized, one part of the law makes it illegal to deny employment based on a positive test for cannabis unless you’re in a few specific industries (medical, childcare, any company that has federal contracts). When the testing center called me to discuss my results the woman on the phone was shocked I didn’t care that it was positive lol

      If you’re in the US, it’s still illegal by federal law. Some states just aren’t enforcing it.

      I live in a state that has passed a law to legalize it, but federal-related jobs still test for it and have reminders about it being illegal.
