On Nov. 8, 2016, Florida became the latest state to legalize the use of medical marijuana for individuals suffering from certain recognized conditions (cancer, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, glaucoma, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.). Unfortunately, Amendment 2 failed to provide employers with adequate guidance as to its anticipated effect upon the workplace (including the viability of pre-hire drug testing and existing drug-free workplace policies, employers’ duties to offer reasonable accommodations to authorized users, and necessary changes to existing employee handbooks). The Florida Department of Health has until July 2017 to issue regulations which will hopefully clarify many of these issues. In the meantime, employers (at least for now) are not required to permit on-site marijuana use, and may continue to implement and enforce policies which expressly prohibit the use of marijuana in the workplace. It should be noted that President-elect Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney General, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, has long been a staunch opponent of marijuana (for any purpose) and may pursue steps to at least slow the nationwide march towards legalization. The next 12 months will certainly be telling.
