Employers May Still Prohibit Employee Marijuana Use in Oregon based on Federal law

Measure 91 – Emerald Steel Fabricators, Inc. v. Bureau of Labor & Indus. (2010)
Though Measure 91 was enacted, establishing the use of recreational marijuana legal in Oregon, under federal law, marijuana use and possession is still illegal. Employers may prohibit recreational marijuana use on or off the job based on federal law. Additionally, Oregon case law provides that employers are not required to accommodate an employee’s use of medical marijuana.
