What Do the Regulations Mean for Workplace Drug Policies?

New Jersey law will allow people to legally use and carry marijuana as long as they follow the specified regulations outlined in the Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (CREAMMA). The law also regulates employers’ responsibilities and employees’ rights regarding marijuana use as it relates to the workplace.

This panel of experts will discuss how the changes will affect your workplace policies including criminal histories, drug screening, federal contractors in NJ and medical cannabis.

Workforce Development Needs for the Industry

The New Jersey Cannabis industry is growing. There are about 130,000 medical marijuana patients in the state, with an estimated roughly 800,000 potential recreational consumers, and fewer than 800,000 estimated “tourism” consumers, according to the commission. As demand continues to grow for an educated workforce, competition for labor will increase.

This panel of experts will discuss what's on the horizon for employment in the industry, why employment models with upward mobility, employee benefits and culture are important. They will also discuss the professional skills that can directly translate to opportunities in the commercial cannabis industry.


11:30 a.m.
