“What rescheduling weed could mean for the workplace”

John Fraser was quoted in the HR Brew article, “What rescheduling weed could mean for the workplace.” The article examines how the Trump administration’s decision to reschedule medical marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III could affect employers and workplace accommodation obligations. While the change is not expected to immediately alter workplace drug policies, legal experts say it may lead to more employees seeking protections and accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar state laws. Employers are also being advised to carefully evaluate how they handle positive marijuana drug tests and accommodation requests moving forward.
