Deborah and Joseph discussed the current status of Federal, New Jersey and Delaware law regarding medical and recreational cannabis and offered insights on the potential implications of allowing (or disallowing) cannabis use in the senior living space. The presentation addressed policies and procedures; marijuana testing; training; and other human resource issues involving the use of cannabis by the workforce.
