Are HR professionals prepared to address the implications of legal pot? The numbers suggest that many are not.While nearly 90 percent of organizations have substance abuse policies in place in states where marijuana is legal, almost three-quarters have not modified their rules since the laws changed, according to the results of the Society for Human Resource Management’s Policies for Marijuana Use in the Workplace survey.
