Roundup: US employer resources on states’ recreational marijuana laws 

Twenty-four states, Guam and Washington, DC, have legalized the possession and personal use of marijuana for recreational purposes. To provide employers with some information on states’ actions and the varying employment considerations involved, this roundup provides links to organizations, government websites, third-party analysis, news articles and viewpoints on marijuana usage for recreational purposes. Most states, in addition to Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Washington, DC, have legalized marijuana use for medical purposes, but this roundup focuses on legal recreational marijuana use and its implications for employers. The aggregated content in each section is organized in reverse chronological order and is by no means comprehensive. It also does not necessarily reflect Mercer’s or the authors’ point of view on the subject.
