Reply to comment by cowperthwaite in Can Employers Deny You for THC traces in Drug Testing, Anymore? by [deleted]

Thank you for posting this. The thing I'm worried about is if employers can still do mandatory drug testing for THC as a condition to hiring. Because while employers can refuse to hire based on a drug test, has the state made it so they can't drug test upon hiring? That wouldn't go over the federal law for THC use in that case, just make it harder. But going by whats here, it would mean RI hasn't made drug testing for THC for hiring limited or prohibited, sadly.

If you're considering reading the Projo more, we're currently running a really good sale for President's day.
