By Jelena Martinovic Colorado employers would be prohibited from denying employment or firing workers because of their off-the-clock cannabis use and on-the-job medical marijuana consumption under a measure introduced last week. Edie Hooton, (D) would consider exceptions for those who work in dangerous fields or jobs requiring fine motor skills, The Colorado Sun writes. Nevertheless, Titone intends to present the measure as a way for Colorado-based employers to quickly find workers. The idea is to signal to the business community and to employers that because Colorado has legalized cannabis, the state should be following the same laws and rules that apply to  prescription drugs. Considering that a similar measure was dismissed in 2020, pushback from employers with drug-free workplace policies is expected.
