New Jersey State Guidance on Workplace Impairment
The same rules and consequences apply for driving under the influence of cannabis as they do for driving under the influence of alcohol or while intoxicated. It is dangerous, illegal, an puts lives at risk.
While general cannabis use cannot be the deciding factor for hiring or firing someone, employers have the right to maintain a drug and alcohol-free work environment. In-house or contracted Drug Recognition Experts may perform random drug tests for intoxication at work, and may test anyone who appears to be impaired on the job, or who has been in a workplace accident. - New Jersey CRC
