Dr. Snider-Adler addresses what has happened since cannabis legalization, and what we can expect when edibles become legalized for adult consumption in October 2019.
Vital takeaways from Dr. Snider-Adler’s presentation include:
“We do not have all the answers; in fact, we don’t even have all the questions… cannabis is not a linear and predictable drug like alcohol… and just because it may be medically authorized does not mean it’s safe in the workplace.”
