When marijuana was legalized in the United States, many employees mistakenly thought it was acceptable to use cannabis before or even during work. Employees inappropriately compared it to tobacco and felt they could possess it at work and smoke it on their break. As Canada proceeds with cannabis legalization, it is important to understand the issues regarding cannabis possession and use in the workplace, including applicable laws and rules, testing rights, and the implications and consequences of impairment.

• How cannabis use can put their jobs in jeopardy.
• Cannabis conduct guidelines for the workplace.
• The importance of understanding and abiding by a company’s drug policy.
• Employer drug testing rights.
• How and when a drug test can be failed.
• The liability facing employees and employers for impairment in the workplace.
