Can I be fired if I test positive for marijuana, even though weed was just legalized? What you need to know.
Updated Feb 25, 2021;
The short answer: for now, maybe.
Under the legalization law, companies cannot fire employees unless they can prove they were high while at work using both a physical test for THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and testimony from an expert witness.
But the state Cannabis Regulatory Commission must still adopt rules and regulations to set this in stone and develop a program to train such witnesses, who will likely be people employed by the company in question. Developing those protocols could take six months.

New Jersey’s path to legalizing recreational use of marijuana has been tortured and often confusing, so maybe it’s fitting that even after voters overwhelmingly approved the move on Jan. 1, it’s going to take a bit longer to make it happen.
In the meantime, let the public beware: Possessing marijuana will not be legal come Friday. In fact, it will still be a crime until elected officials can once again hammer out some last-minute issues.
Gov. Phil Murphy, it turns out, is refusing to sign two landmark bills passed on Dec. 17 one to legalize adult-use marijuana, the other to decriminalize up to 6 ounces of possession. The governor’s office says they need to correct a “drafting error” before the measures can become law.
