DOT 5-panel test for marijuana (THC), cocaine, amphetamines, opioids, and phencyclidine (PCP). Non-DOT panels can include expanded testing with ETG, additional substances as specified by employer policy.

No. The Executive Order started a federal review process to move marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. This does not legalize marijuana and does not change workplace drug testing rules.

State law does not override employer policies or federal safety rules. Employers may still prohibit marijuana use and impairment at work.

No. Nothing changes.

• Marijuana is still prohibited for DOT safety-sensitive employees.
   
• DOT drug tests still include marijuana.
   
• Medical marijuana cards or prescriptions do not excuse a positive DOT test.

A positive marijuana result is a DOT violation and must be handled through the DOT return-to-duty process, including evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP). 

Non-DOT rules depend on your employer’s policy and job role. Many employers:

• Prohibit impairment at work
   
• Restrict marijuana use for safety-sensitive or driving positions
   
• Continue pre-employment, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing

Not necessarily.
A medical card does not override DOT rules and may not override employer policies, especially for safety-sensitive roles. 

Use caution. Some CBD and hemp products may contain THC—even if labeled otherwise. A positive THC test is still a positive test, regardless of the product used. 

Ask before using any product that could affect a drug test. When in doubt, don’t risk your job or license.
