Cannabis can have a major impact on safety at work, and legalization is creating new challenges for employers. An NSC survey revealed one third of employees have seen cannabis use during work hours. The survey also found:
- More than half of employers that eliminated THC testing reported an increase in incidents or workplace performance concerns
- Most employers believe employees would feel comfortable telling their supervisor if they were too impaired to work, while less than half of employees reported they would feel comfortable doing so
- Less than half of organizations have a written cannabis policy

Cannabis legalization shows no signs of slowing, but consumer safety regulations are not keeping pace. NSC has conducted 13 months of research into cannabis testing regulations in all 50 states to identify gaps and potential consumer safety hazards, with the goal of helping state regulators, policymakers and business leaders make informed, evidence-based decisions. The results are now available in a new NSC report, State Cannabis Testing Programs: Current Obstacles and Needed Reforms for Consumer Safety and Health.
