CREAMMA: Cannabis Employment Protections
Under the Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act (CREAMMA), New Jersey employers generally cannot take adverse employment action against employees or applicants based solely on lawful cannabis use outside the workplace. Employers may still maintain drug-free workplace policies, prohibit impairment on the job, and test for cannabis when required by federal law.
