Ask Shaye: Implications of consuming legally prescribed cannabinoids
I have a condition and have been prescribed medication. What are the implications of consuming legally prescribed cannabinoids for work- related stress?
While it’s legal to consume legally prescribed cannabinoids, we would urge a lot of caution as these products are intoxicating and may remain in the system for many days and show up in drug testing. We would suggest you discuss with the prescriber the potentially serious risks associated with working, driving, and the potential for impairment if you do decide to seek a prescription. We would also urge you to consider other alternatives for managing work-related stress, such as the Employee Assistance Program, counselling, or calling the Association about any work- specific questions or problems.
