This is in regards to if they come into work/interview under the influence etc. The law itself makes it so recreational use can't be a disqualifying factor and a test can't be administered as a preemployment requirement, only if the "workplace drug policy" is violated.

Thank you for the clarification. This would be the first time I would have to do a drug test since before it's been legalized in the state, so it's all new territory for me.

I am just going by what I have read.... not in any way legal advice lol. But from what I have seen and a number of sites have clarified it that they can't use a test as a disqualifier. In that case they could do the same with alcohol etc.
From what I have heard anecdotally a lot of places of changed their policies to account for this even before the state changed the law.

Yeah, my fiance's got a new job over the summer and his job just said 'we know the law is about to change. Just don't come in high." Lol
