Philadelphia Considers Dropping Testing for Marijuana

(Fall 2017) To boost employment and decrease the city’s 26% poverty rate, Philadelphia’s mayor is discussing the idea of easing drug-free workplace standards for individuals using marijuana. Philadelphia does not have the power to legalize the drug. It can, however, take steps such as dropping THC drug screenings for certain jobs or barring employers from asking potential hires to submit to a drug test until a conditional job offer is made.
