Reminder: Cannabis Workplace Provisions Go Into Effect July 1

A friendly reminder to employers that provisions of Connecticut's adult-use cannabis statute concerning the use of cannabis in the workplace go into effect on July 1, 2022. We published a detailed article about what the cannabis statute means for employers last year. With the effective date of those provisions quickly approaching, now is the perfect time to ensure your policies are up to date.

As a refresher, the cannabis statute allows all employers to prohibit the use of cannabis in the workplace and to take adverse action against employees for using or possessing cannabis in the workplace or reporting to work under the influence, with limited exceptions for qualifying medical marijuana patients.
