Podcast: How Marijuana Legalization Laws Impact the Workplace

Author: David B. Weisenfeld, XpertHR Legal Editor

With nearly 20 states having legalized medical marijuana, and Colorado and Washington legalizing the drug's recreational use in November 2012, what do these laws really mean for employers?

This podcast goes to the heart of these issues in an engaging panel discussion that features attorneys from two high-profile employment law firms, Emily Hobbs-Wright of Holland & Hart in Denver, and Vanessa Gilbreth of Proskauer Rose in Boston.

Hobbs-Wright and Gilbreth discuss what employers doing business in legalization states need to know to ensure compliance, as well as recent court cases of note regarding employee off-duty marijuana usage.
