Bears Watching

There are imminent threats to OMMP patients that require serious attention.

Work Drug Free Coalition

Having lost public opinion, the feds are taking their fight against medical marijuana to employers. WorkDrugFreeOregon would have you believe that they are concerned about workplace safety, but it appears from their actions that it is mostly medical cannabis about which they are concerned. They want the right to use drug test to fire or discipline medical cannabis users if they test positive for cannabis metabolites, who work in dangerous or "safety-sensitive" jobs. We all know that positive tests do NOT mean impairment. True impairment testing does exist. Check here to see the attack they planned for the OMMP. Check here to learn about true impairment testing, the honest way to protect the public from impaired workers. This issue was brought up during the special session in February. Although they weren’t able to get their bills passed, be assured they have federal backing and are aggressively pursuing their agenda. We can expect to see the same approach in the next legislative session.
