Please join us virtually as a Matt Nieman, a Principal with Jackson Lewis and seasoned workplace substance abuse prevention expert, takes on a tour of the ever-evolving—of often contradictory—state of marijuana laws in the US, including the challenges and options posed for employers—whether they work with the government or not.  

About the speakers:
