LANSING — Effective Sunday, prospective employees for most state of Michigan jobs will no longer have to pass a screening test for marijuana.

The Michigan Civil Service Commission voted to lift the requirement at its July 12 meeting, bringing state hiring policy more in line with a 2018 ballot initiative in which Michigan voters legalized recreational marijuana use for those 21 and older, by a 56% to 44% vote.

The change comes amid an ongoing hiring crunch in which the state has had difficulty filling large numbers of jobs.

The Free Press flagged the issue in a February article, noting that in 2022, the state rejected 151 job applicants who had already received conditional offers of employment after they tested positive for marijuana. That was just over triple the 49 failed marijuana tests in 2018, the last year marijuana was illegal under state law, and more than double the 71 failed marijuana tests resulting from the state hiring process in 2021, according to the Office of State Employer.

The cannabis industry has undergone a prolific transformation in recent decades. Starting out as a largely stigmatized market, it has since evolved into a legitimate and rapidly growing sector, now being accepted legally in many parts of the world. Changing legal perspectives, improving public perceptions, and increasing acceptance of its recreational use have undoubtedly played a significant role in its acceptance.

Challenges of Accessibility

However, the industry still lacks standardization and uniformity, challenging assessing its economic and societal effects. This often leads to exorbitant costs and limited availability, making it inconvenient or impossible for individuals to access cannabis products.

There’s a split in the CBD community over how much THC to put in hemp extracts. Although the 2018 US Farm Bill allows manufacturers to include ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC, some customers prefer zero THC in their CBD oils. To cater to different consumer preferences, most CBD brands now offer some products with a bit of THC (aka “full-spectrum CBD”) or zero THC concentration (either broad-spectrum CBD or CBD isolate).

While a little THC in human-grade CBD oils is generally safe for healthy adults, there are serious questions over whether CBD pet treats should have any THC. Does delta-9 have more harmful effects on dogs than humans? Should pet owners even consider using full-spectrum CBD oil?

Most studies suggest that dogs are more sensitive to cannabinoids than humans. Even a tiny amount of delta-9 THC could trigger severe side effects in a dog, including seizures, vomiting, and even death. For this reason, dog owners should always inspect the THC concentration in their CBD pet treats. Until we have evidence to the contrary, pet owners must treat THC as a toxin for their dogs.

Please note: This doesn’t mean that CBD triggers severe adverse reactions for dogs. While some breeds may experience side effects like diarrhea or lethargy, there’s no evidence that high-quality CBD extract will put a healthy dog in a life-threatening situation. CBD is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid and doesn’t bind to CB1 receptors like THC.

LUCENA CITY — Police anti-narcotics operatives have arrested 10 alleged big-time drug pushers and confiscated more than P579,000 worth of “shabu” (crystal meth) and marijuana in Cavite and Rizal provinces.

In a report Wednesday, the Police Regional Office 4A said the Cavite Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) and local police in Dasmariñas City nabbed Jayson Trilles, Rayven Sarmiento, Mark Glenn Rabino and Noel Niegad during a buy-bust operation in Barangay Paliparan 3 at 5:10 p.m. on Tuesday.

The suspects yielded 2.2 kilos of dried marijuana leaves with a Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) value of P264,000 and two mobile phones containing lists of their supposed drug transactions.

The report tagged Trilles and Sarmiento as “HVI” or high-value individuals in the local drug trade while Rabino and Niegad were listed as identified drug pushers on the police watchlist.

Although the US government signed off on hemp in 2018, not every federal agency is OK with CBD products. Interestingly, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still doesn’t regulate the recreational CBD sector. The lack of FDA oversight has led to many controversies in the new CBD industry, especially regarding CBD edibles.

Despite their widespread popularity, CBD-infused gummies are some of the most controversial hemp products from the FDA’s perspective. In fact, some cities and states have issued raids or bans on CBD edibles. Unlike dietary supplements, edible products typically need to meet higher standards for purity. Since the FDA hasn’t cleared CBD as a food additive, many territories are unwilling to allow CBD gummies in their backyard.

These tighter restrictions may make it more challenging to obtain CBD gummies, but please remember the 2018 US Farm Bill legalized all hemp-derived goods with ≤ 0.3 percent delta-9 THC. So, technically, it’s still federally legal to buy CBD-infused edibles. That being said, there are safety concerns customers should consider if they want to give CBD gummies a go.

Always Hide Your Hemp Gummies!

A significant concern with CBD gummies is that they look identical to many non-hemp-infused candies. Even though CBD is non-intoxicating, scientists don’t know this cannabinoid’s safety profile for young children. Please also remember that most CBD edibles have dosages for healthy adults.
