We also plan to hold a larger event on this topic in the coming months. We’ll ask businesses from states where recreational marijuana is legal about their experiences since legalization, as well as law enforcement officials and social services providers for their perspectives. We’ll also plan to include companies that are in the business or support the legal marijuana industry.
The State Chamber position on the legalization of recreational marijuana can be summed up this way: We respect the rights of adults to do what they want, where and when it's appropriate. Employers, however, want to have the ability to preserve their own, unique policies on this topic, and prefer to wait for technology that provides a “spot test” for impairment and immunity from liability.
Please
join us next week for a quick look into this conversation, and plan to join us for a more in-depth discussion soon.
