Making Your Way through the Haze of Marijuana Legalization
Marijuana is legal for recreational use in more than 20 states and for medical use in more than 35. State marijuana laws are a complex maze of regulations, with some restricting drug testing. How do you navigate everything while maintaining safety standards? Should TCH be on your testing panel? What about CBD, Delta 8, and Delta 10? These raise concerns as well.
We will break it all down and provide information on how to handle issues that arise. This presentation will address:
- The question of impairment
