Jamaica: Weeding out illegal ganja smokers
By Gavin Goffe
RECENTLY, our Minister of Justice, Senator Mark Golding, was reported as encouraging employers to review their policies on the issue of the personal use of ganja and "modernise their practices" in the light of the changes to the law, so that they don't treat this as a basis for excluding somebody from a job. His primary concern, it would appear, was that an employee could now legally smoke ganja in the privacy of his home and yet be dismissed if the substance was detected in the employer's drug test. He added that it was a matter for the employer to decide how to treat with the issue -- a view shared by the President of the Jamaica Employer's Federation, David Wan.
Whilst many companies are still meditating on the changes to the law, it's unlikely that you will see any changes in their policies.
