However, despite medical marijuana\u2019s legal status in more than half of the states in the U.S, in most employers can still impose workplace drug testing and have a zero-tolerance policy on the use of cannabis for any reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laws related to drug tests and whether employers must accommodate medical marijuana patients vary by state. Here\u2019s what you need to know to protect yourself from violating your employee policies and risking your job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Employers Can (and Often Do) Restrict Medical Marijuana Use<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because medical marijuana is legal in your state doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t face consequences if you fail a drug test. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, two states that are among the most liberal in regards to marijuana law &#8212; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/california-marijuana-laws\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/colorado-marijuana-laws\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8212; do not have workplace protections in place for medical marijuana patients. The California Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that the state\u2019s medical marijuana law only protects patients from criminal prosecution, not workplace consequences. Likewise, in 2015 the Colorado Supreme Court has held that an employer may fire an employee for off-duty use of medical marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only a handful of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medical marijuana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> states have legal protections in place that make it illegal for an employer to not hire an applicant or fire an employee solely for the use of medical marijuana, unless it&#8217;s shown that you consumed cannabis or were impaired while on the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of now, of the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/overview-of-u-s-medical-marijuana-law\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">29 states<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with legal medical marijuana, we\u2019re only aware of the following states having some legal workplace protections in place for registered patients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rcalaw.com\/five-things-every-arizona-employer-should-know-about-medical-marijuana\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arizona<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nobleslawfirm.com\/medical-marijuana-arkansas-workplace\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arkansas<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shipmangoodwin.com\/connecticut-medical-marijuana-law-protects-employees-and-is-not-preempted-by-federal-drug-laws\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecticut<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delaware<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmrltd.com\/blog\/357-medical-marijuana-in-illinois-can-an-employer-still-enforce-a-zero-tolerance-policy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illinois<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmfattorneys.com\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=80:client-alert-the-maine-medical-marijuana-act-and-employment-implications&amp;catid=3&amp;Itemid=39\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maine<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/business\/2017\/07\/17\/sjc-rules-mass-companies-can-fire-workers-just-because-they-use-medical-marijuana\/nxPMEGF0uzbjawXeCkA35J\/story.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massachusetts<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jux.law\/medical-marijuana-in-the-workplace-faq\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minnesota<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nj.com\/politics\/index.ssf\/2015\/12\/senate_panel_approves_job_protection_for_medical_m.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Jersey<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vedderprice.com\/medical-marijuana-new-challenge-facing-new-york-employers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pennsylvania<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.littler.com\/publication-press\/publication\/rhode-island-superior-court-rules-job-applicants-medical-marijuana-use\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhode Island<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.littler.com\/publication-press\/publication\/west-virginia-employers-soon-enjoy-greater-flexibility-drug-testing\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">West Virginia<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These protections do not allow registered patients to use medical marijuana or be impaired while at the workplace, but they acknowledge that patients can use their cannabis during off hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-30323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medicalmarijuanainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5c3de055d2d6b_iStock-467231710-1-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"medical marijuana drug test\" width=\"640\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, however, regardless of whether medical marijuana is legal where you live, your workplace can restrict its use and have in place a zero-tolerance policy. This is because marijuana remains prohibited under federal law. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 classifies marijuana as a Schedule I substance, the category reserved for the most dangerous substances with no acknowledged medicinal value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although laws vary, in most states employers are afforded the ability to impose a drug testing policy that meets their respective needs. Some workplaces require only pre-employment drug tests and take the results into consideration when making hiring decisions. Others will only test if there is \u201creasonable suspicion\u201d of marijuana use, or following an on-the-job accident to check for impairment. Some may also impose regular scheduled or random drug testing throughout your entire period of employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s recommended that you discuss your medical marijuana use with your human resources department or an employment attorney to learn whether there are protections in place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When are You Likely to Fail a Marijuana Drug Test?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve used medical marijuana within the past two months, you\u2019re susceptible to failing a marijuana drug test. This is because the various types of drug tests used by employers are able to detect marijuana compounds that linger in your system up to weeks or months after your last use. This means that you\u2019re still vulnerable to testing positive, even if you have never used your medical marijuana while at your job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The types of drug tests employers may use to check for marijuana use include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By far the most common type of drug test used by employers is urine analysis. This test may be performed privately while you\u2019re at the workplace using a test strip, or you may be sent to a third-party laboratory to submit a urine sample. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urine tests do not detect the psychoactive compound in medical marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and therefore do not measure impairment. Rather, they detect the non-psychoactive marijuana metabolite 11-nor-delta9-caboxy-THC (THC-COOH), which can linger in the body for days or weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-30324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medicalmarijuanainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5c3de05a6a4bd_iStock-471493043-1-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"medical marijuana urine test\" width=\"640\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While less common, some employers utilize hair, blood, and saliva drug testing methods. Unlike urine tests, blood tests detect the active presence of THC in the bloodstream. THC levels peak rapidly within the first few minutes of inhalation, then declines quickly within the hour. As a result, blood tests are a better detector of recent medical marijuana use. Hair analysis, which is rarely used, checks for non-psychoactive marijuana residues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Long Does Marijuana Stay in Your System?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The marijuana metabolite THC-COOH can <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/how-long-does-thc-stay-in-your-system\/\">remain in your system<\/a> long after marijuana\u2019s psychoactive effects wear off. How long marijuana use is detectable by a urine test depends on how much THC-COOH has built up in your system. For regular users, THC-COOH can build up to a high level, taking weeks of non-use to drop back down below the threshold of detection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/norml.org\/marijuana\/drug-testing\/drug-testing-tips\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, urine drug tests may detect medical marijuana:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-5 days after an occasional use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1-3 weeks in regular users<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4-6 weeks in multiple daily users<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that even if you limit your use of medical marijuana to the weekends when you\u2019re not on the job, you can still test positive in a urine test at work the next week, far after you\u2019re no longer impaired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, it takes some time for marijuana\u2019s metabolites to reach your urine. A first-time medical marijuana user can still test negative in a urine test for potentially 1 to 4 hours after consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In blood drug tests, THC can remain at detectable levels for about 8 hours in first-time users, but can persist for days in regular consumers. Hair analysis can detect non-psychoactive residues of marijuana for months after the last consumption in regular users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, if you live in a state that doesn\u2019t protect medical marijuana users and foresee a marijuana drug test in your future, it\u2019s best to refrain from using your medicine for about two months beforehand to ensure you won\u2019t test positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Some patients turn to <a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/need-know-synthetic-marijuana\/\">synthetic marijuana<\/a> when faced with a drug test, but these fake marijuana products can be dangerous to your health.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-30325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.medicalmarijuanainc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/5c3de06086e5c_iStock-543048276-1024x427.jpg\" alt=\"medical marijuana legal by employer\" width=\"640\" height=\"267\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>What about CBD Oil? Will it Cause a Positive Drug Test?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD oil is a type of cannabis oil extracted from cannabis plants \u2013 like hemp &#8212; that are naturally low in THC. Instead, CBD oil is abundant in the cannabidiol (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/what-is-cbd-hemp-oil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), a non-psychoactive compound that doesn\u2019t cause a high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most drug tests do not detect the presence of CBD, and when extracted from hemp, CBD oil usually contains only trace amounts of THC. Therefore in<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.votehemp.com\/PDF\/Evaluating_the_Impact_of_Hemp_Food_Consumption_on_Workplace_Drug_Tests.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most cases<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, consuming CBD oil will not cause a positive drug test when consumed at suggested servings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that said, some<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.af.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/467001\/air-force-reminds-airmen-to-avoid-hemp-seed-products\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have shown that consuming hemp foods and oils can, in rare cases, elicit a positive result in urine and blood drug tests. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, anyone who is concerned about failing a drug test \u2013 including first responders, competitive athletes, or members of the United States Military \u2013 should probably also avoid consuming CBD oil. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Learn More About Medical Marijuana<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn more about medical marijuana, including information on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/indica-vs-sativa-vs-hybrid-whats-difference\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">different types of strains<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/grow-weed-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to grow cannabis on your own at home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by visiting our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuanainc.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis 101 page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
