2:45 – 3:45 PM:  Current Employment Law Challenges for the Cannabis Industry (1.0 Professional Practice)

The legalization of cannabis for medical and adult use purposes in 47 states has created a tidal wave of legal and practical implications in employment law. With the anticipated rescheduling of it federally to Schedule III as a medicine will increase the confusion and chaos that will continue to follow until better guidelines and standards are developed for the workplace. How collective bargaining agreements, federal Drug Free Workplace Act, Worker’s Compensation reimbursement for medical cannabis, and health and long term disability benefits are just a few of the impacted areas of employment law which need to be addressed by experienced cannabis attorneys for those facing employment policy decisions in this fast emerging area.
