Florida statutes allow medical marijuana, a marijuana card is issued for individuals that have certain medical conditions. The Florida Statute (381.956) does specifically provide language that that an employer is not required accommodate the medical use of marijuana in any workplace or any employee working while under the influence of marijuana. With little case law on this subject in Florida, employers are advised to use caution when refusing to hire a potential employee or firing an employee based on a positive marijuana test and the employer has an authorized medical marijuana card. Another option in Florida as in all states is to remove marijuana from the drug testing panel.
No restrictions but use caution with medical marijuana patients.
