“We have extreme concerns, and there is no protocol. There’s no set policies on what the guidance is. And because, with marijuana use, it affects the brain. There’s no proper test or screening if someone is, or isn’t, under the influence, especially for employees. So how do you monitor that? What do you look for?” asked Gabel.
Business executives also wonder about random company drug screenings to detect marijuana use.
“Our policy is that we’re allowed to drug screen you. And if it’s legal, we have other issues with that, about what would be the amount that’s allowable? Because it does stay in their system for up to 30 days,” said Janet Kuebler, owner of Right at Home, a senior care services company.
