Originally viewed as an intoxicant used only by deviant members of society, cannabis is now the most widely used illegal substance in the United States, Canada, and Europe (Beck & Legleye, 2008;Frone, 2006;Hajizadeh, 2016); this popularity translates into millions of employees who consume cannabis.
