Recent actions by the U.S. attorney general to reclassify marijuana and recognize medical marijuana products have
employers reviewing their workplace drug policies. Employers should understand the language of their state’s drug

operate in. They should also routinely review a substance abuse testing policy that states their company’s stance on
prohibited drugs and alcohol use, including marijuana, and the consequences that will be imposed.
