Our evolving drug culture is taking its toll on America’s workforce. Drug abuse can cost U.S. business owners more than $140 billion dollars every year. What we are experiencing today as a nation is like nothing we’ve faced before. We have now legalized a schedule one drug, Marijuana, in over 30 states and accidental drug overdose is the leading cause of death among people under the age of 50. It’s time to have a real conversation on how this is affecting our jobs and our safety. We will explore a thorough understanding of the implications of Marijuana use and your workforce. Exploring workplace marijuana use will include the changing mentality associated with use, reduced company drug testing, workplace consequences of legalization such as reduced productivity or increases in accidents, as well as a look at medical marijuana for the DOT and appropriate policy development tips. We will also explore CBD generating positives on employer drug screens. Join Ruth as we ‘Clear the Air’ and get answers to these important questions!
