Ohio Legalizes Recreational Marijuana: How to Prepare for the December 7 Effective Date

On November 7, 2023, Ohio became the twenty-fourth state in the United States to legalize the recreational possession and use of marijuana. While some employers may view marijuana legalization as a drug-testing issue, laws governing marijuana present a wide variety of workplace issues, including statutory and regulatory compliance, disability discrimination, workplace safety and health, government contractor status, workers’ compensation, employee privacy, and public policy concerns. During this webinar, the speakers will discuss the details of An Act to Control and Regulate Adult Use Cannabis (Ohio Revised Code section 3780) and what Ohio’s new law, which goes into effect on December 7, 2023, will mean for employers with operations in Ohio.
