New York bans testing employees for marijuana usage at work

New York employers are no longer allowed to drug test most workers for marijuana, the state Department of Labor announced in new guidance, according to Marijuana Moment. While many legal cannabis states have made it so workers can’t be penalized for testing positive, New York appears to be the first to explicitly bar employers from testing for THC at all – with limited exceptions for certain categories of workers.
