Since the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 many U.S. employers have chosen to conduct drug testing as a pre-employment requirement, random testing of current employees, or a required test after a workplace accident has happened.

With the complexities involved in marijuana use in the workplace, some employers are considering if it is even worth routinely testing candidates or employees.

For your initial post, Research the topic of marijuana laws in your state and how they impact the workplace as well as the MORE Act (Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement Act) that is being proposed by the U.S. Federal Government to end the criminalization of cannabis for adults. Include (1) article on the topic. Cite your sources by including a link to the article(s) in your initial post. Respond to the following points in your post:

1. Briefly describe the article's major points. Include what you found to be most interesting or surprising. Explain Why.
2. Now that medical and recreational marijuana use has been legalized in many states, should employers continue to test for marijuana as a pre-employment condition? Yes or No. Explain.
3. Employers' policies should include that they can test current employees when there is "reasonable suspicion of marijuana drug use.". Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain.

Initial posts should be 200 words in length (roughly a half-page, single-spaced) and reference a minimum of 2 cited sources with your works cited included at the end of your post.
