It involves marijuana.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a rise in discrimination claims against employers who terminate or fail to hire medical marijuana users due to a positive drug screen. Additionally, some convictions for marijuana use and possession in states that have&nbsp;since decriminalized or legalized its use are no longer considered convictions.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it begs the question &#8211; are YOU up to date on marijuana laws in your state?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s talk about <a href=\"/screening/drug-testing\">drug screening first</a>: Up until a few years ago, it was a fairly common practice for workplaces to enforce zero-tolerance drug policies, which included rejection of applicants or employees whose drug screens came back positive.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is no longer a best practice. Thirty-three states and DC have now legalized medical marijuana use, and 11 of those states specifically carve out legal protections for employees who use medical marijuana.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, did you know that employers in Arizona, Delaware, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Arkansas cannot take adverse action against an applicant or employee with a medical marijuana card based solely on a positive drug screen for marijuana? Make sure you’re working with counsel to review your drug screening policies to avoid discrimination claims.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some cities are now taking action to seal, expunge, or retroactively dismiss marijuana convictions that would no longer constitute criminal offenses in jurisdictions that have decriminalized or legalized the use of marijuana.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means it’s more important than ever to work with a screener that only reports the most up-to-date criminal records. Ordering county searches as part of your background checks will ensure you get real-time conviction records in these locations.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always <a href=\"/\">GoodHire</a> has you covered.
