Rod, thank you for fighting the good fight. I can't express how much I'm rooting for you and your approach to win. I hope the industry does everything they can to amply your voice and get it heard in the right rooms, at the right time, for the betterment of all.
If marijuana was descheduled, what would your expection be as far as employment drug screens/ post accident drug screens in safety sensitive fields? Would employees in the transportation industry for example be prohibited from using marijuana while off work due to the fact that random or post accident urinalysis would test hot for marijuana, even if they weren't under the influence at the time of the test/accident? Could the Fed mandate specific tests/test parameters for safety sensitive fields that more accurately determine impairment instead of detecting use within the last week/month?
This is a really good question and an important issue. The focus should not be on cannabis per se, but rather on whether or not cannabis impairment was involved in an accident. I co-wrote an article on this topic a few years ago: cannabusiness.law/cannabis-impairment-and-driving-legal-and-medical-considerations/
Brilliant approach. Pure common sense and practicality. The only progressive way forward. States will fight this because they have already sold the idea of the marijuana industry to special interests who have invested billions to minimize competition. I think it's time for the states to start writing refund checks to the marijuana license holders!
