Conflicting Marijuana Laws Create Confusion

Conflicting Marijuana Laws Create Confusion

 

During our country’s recent November elections, quite a few  state-level initiatives relating to marijuana were placed before voters. The new or amended initiatives in the states of Colorado, Washington, Massachusetts, and Montana are varied in their focus, but the main issues address two broad areas of marijuana law: medical marijuana and recreational marijuana.

 

Federal vs. State Conflicts

The conflict between contradictory federal and state laws is also apt to escalate with the decriminalization of recreational marijuana use in a couple of states, whereas the passing of previous medical marijuana initiatives have been unofficially tolerated by federal agencies.

 

Workplace and Drugged Driving Issues
