No more cannabis testing, an employment protection law in Guam

A measure called “Responsible occupational health and safety law for cannabis users‘ was discussed at a public hearing in the Guam Congress.

Sponsored by Senator Will Parkinson, bill 6 would prevent any employer, landlord, college or government agency from testing themselves cannabis as a condition of employment, housing, education or government services, reported a local news medium.

If the measure is enacted, the Ministry of Administration will no longer be able to refuse employment to job applicants who test positive for cannabis use in a drug test. However, testing would only be permitted if required by federal law.

In Guam, a US territory, cannabis has been legal for adults since 2019. However, it remains banned under the Guam government’s Drug-Free Workplace Program.
