Jennifer Mora to Present "The Stoned Age: How Employers are Navigating the Explosion of Cannabis Laws" at 2022 PBSA Annual Conference

Jennifer Mora, partner in Seyfarth's Labor & Employment department, to present "The Stoned Age: How Employers are Navigating the Explosion of Cannabis Laws" at the 2022 PBSA Annual Conference.

Public opinion favoring legalizing cannabis grows ever year. Yet there remains tension between federal and state law, with most states having legalized medical or recreational cannabis. This creates difficulties for employers who want to maintain a safe workplace and attract talent but also avoid litigation. This presentation will explain how cannabis laws impact employers, including a discussion of the legal landscape, best practices for drug testing, the importance of a robust reasonable suspicion testing program, the science behind proving impairment, and what’s on the horizon.
