one thing to consider when determining if it’s appropriate to bring up weed use is how “getting high” is considered among many employers in legal states, according to an article by the health and safety institute (hsi).

some states, such as new york, have laws protecting employees and their off-the-clock weed use. the state’s labour department “says employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees based on the employee’s use of cannabis outside the workplace, outside of work hours and without use of the employer’s equipment or property,” forbes wrote of new york’s new recreational marijuana law.

as reuters reported , “the business community should expect local lawmakers to continue taking a proactive role in providing marijuana-related protections to employees, which will, in turn, continue to cause tension between the federal framework and the framework of what is now a majority of the states.”
still, always remember that just because a person gets along with his or her co-workers does not mean everyone thinks the same way. don’t forget that although the majority of people in the u.s. support legalizing cannabis, there is still a large minority who oppose it. the odds are are likely good that some of those people work in the same office.
