Cannabis, driving, and your job: staying legal

Staying legal

A medical card never makes it legal to drive impaired; every state treats cannabis-impaired driving as a DUI, and THC can show up on tests well after the effects wear off. On the job, a card doesn't automatically protect you either: many employers can still enforce drug-free policies, and protections vary widely by state and industry, especially safety-sensitive and federal roles. When in doubt, know your employer's policy and your state's rules before you medicate.

In your state

Employment protections for medical patients differ sharply by state, and this is general information, not legal advice. See your state guide →
