This company is a drug free workplace that complies with the State of Florida Drug Free Workplace Act and testing procedures. Please be aware of the following information concerning medical marijuana and the company stance concerning it. Medical marijuana is available in a variety of forms. Medical marijuana that has a certain level of THC may show up on a drug test. Some medical marijuana does not have THC and will not show up on a drug test. A physician will know if the medical marijuana that they are prescribing would have enough THC to show up on a drug test. Please consult with the physician to determine if the medical marijuana that they are prescribing will show up on a drug test. If the medical marijuana that is prescribed does show up on a drug test, the company stance concerning this is outlined in the company drug free workplace policy and outlined below.

NOTE: This company is in agreement with the Federal Government that marijuana is an illegal controlled substance and will not recognize medical marijuana as a legitimate prescription. A positive test result for marijuana will be treated the same as any other positive test result, even if an applicant or an employee has a medical marijuana prescription. A negative pre-employment drug test result is a condition of employment with this company. Therefore, an applicant will be denied employment with this company if they test positive for marijuana even if they have a medical marijuana prescription that contains THC.
