EMPLOYEE HEALTH POLICY: MARIJUANA
Cannabis, better known as marijuana, is the mostly widely used illicit mix with drugs in Western societies. More than 96 million Americans (40 percent) age 12 or older tell having used cannabis during their lifetime, and an estimated 15 million Americans are current users (defined as using the drug at least once in the past 30 days.) Documented reports of humans consuming cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes date back over 2,000 years.
Active chemical compounds in cannabis - known as cannabinoids - are responsible because of its psychoactive and physiological effects. Scientists have identified more than 60 naturally occurring cannabinoids, more of which bind to receptors in the body
