Washington state will soon provide measures to protect employees from pre-employment drug tests for cannabis in many situations.

The bill reads. “It is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against a person in the initial hiring for employment if the discrimination is based upon: (a) The person’s use of cannabis off the job and away from the workplace; or (b) An employer-required drug screening test that has found the person to have non-psychoactive cannabis metabolites in their hair, blood, urine, or other bodily fluids,” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
