Five years after New York legalized cannabis, no one can reliably tell who’s actually high on the job or behind the wheel, according to the Times Union.
Employers can’t punish off-duty use but must judge “observable” impairment without clear standards. Unlike alcohol, THC levels don’t track real-time impairment, and tests can show use long after effects fade.
Police face the same gap, and doctors report rising ER visits, anxiety, and psychosis tied to high-potency THC as concerns grow.
