During the recent Freetown Board of Selectmen meeting, the board decided not to amend the town’s drug-free workplace policy, despite the legalization of marijuana. The discussion centered on whether the policy, which categorizes marijuana as an illegal substance, should be updated to reflect its legal status for both recreational and medical use. It was noted that although marijuana is legal in Massachusetts, it remains illegal federally, which affects employees such as CDL drivers. The town’s policy currently allows for legal prescription medications, suggesting that medical marijuana might already be exempt, though this requires further clarification.
