Legal Pot In Colorado Doesn’t Inhibit Employer Drug Testing

Employers in pot-friendly Colorado may keep their drug policies and testing requirements, and they can still dismiss employees whose performance is impaired by the now-legal drug. In addition, the Colorado Court of Appeals in December 2013 dismissed a case claiming an employee using medical marijuana was unlawfully fired, citing the fact that, while pot may now be legal in Colorado, it is still banned under federal law.
