Why should you attend?

In stark contrast to the “Just Say No” 1980’s, the past two years has seen an explosion of medical marijuana legislation. Now, more than fifteen states have legislation or proposed legislation to legalize the use of this Class 1 banned drug. With a variety of laws addressing disabilities, illnesses and medication effects, it is critical for employers in all states to understand the impact of medically prescribed marijuana on not only drug testing policies, but also on medical effects under the ADA.

This webinar will discuss marijuana legalization in the United States, and detail its history and evolution with relevant case studies, illustrated by employment law expert Deirdre Kamber.
