Have your drug testing policies changed over the past five years?

Poll Description

In November, Massachusetts residents will vote on Question 4 regarding whether or not to legalize restricted use and possession of psychedelic drugs for those 21 and older. The use of psychedelics to treat mental health conditions is slowly becoming more popular within the U.S. On Oct. 10, veterans lobbied on the Boston Common to decriminalize the use of certain types and small quantities of psychedelic substances, claiming its usage has the potential to save lives.

While the proposed law would not impact employers’ rights to enforce workplace policies restricting employee psychedelic substance use, the possibility of legalization does bring up the question of whether or not companies will choose independently to adjust their drug testing policies. The ballot question comes six years after legalized sale of recreational marijuana began in Massachusetts.
