On October 17, 2018, the 95-year old prohibition on cannabis will be lifted. Over the next 17 weeks, the Provinces and Territories will finalize their corresponding legislation. We strongly encourage employers to begin educating employees now on how your workplace will address recreational and medical cannabis use by adults. Educating management and staff on these issues to manage expectations is a critical component of a smooth transition.

Some will choose to panic about cannabis in the workplace, the rest will choose the basic common sense of not going to work high. The same way most of us are currently cautious about work and alcohol, we use common sense. Panickers are pests https://t.co/7qcit82JsC
