Is your hospice or home care company prepared to manage legalized marijuana use by remote, hybrid, and onsite employees? Has your state’s MMP authorized you to administer cannabis to patients? As the march toward nationwide marijuana legalization continues, you can’t afford to leave cannabis compliance to chance. Employers are increasingly challenged by marijuana use by staff during and after working hours. While marijuana use remains illegal on the federal level, states are swiftly legalizing medical and recreational use.

Regardless of where your state stands, now is the time to address the risks and challenges posed by employee and patient marijuana use. Learn why and how to write best practices-based marijuana policy and procedures to communicate rules, manage expectations, support productivity, ensure safety, and comply with federal and state laws. Attend to learn the ABCs of evolving laws and effective marijuana policy for employees and patients.
