One common misconception is that workplace drug testing can reliably detect all dangerous substances. In reality, many standard drug testing panels do not routinely detect fentanyl, nitazenes, or other emerging synthetic opioids. Synthetic opioids like fentanyl require specific lab methods and lower cutoff levels than standard opioid tests.

As synthetic opioids continue to evolve, workplace policies must evolve as well. Rather than attempting to list every emerging drug, employers should develop broad impairment-based policies that address any substance capable of affecting safe job performance. Policies should include fitness-for-duty expectations, reasonable suspicion procedures, employee assistance resources, overdose response protocols, and periodic reviews of emerging drug trends.

Do you care at all if your employees smoke ma*****na on their own time?

Many Americans feel that individuals should be able to do what they want on their own time. But also many workers state that they do not want to work next to someone who may have been smoking pot before coming to work. It is hard to tell when someone used ma*****na, and there is no specific test for impairment as there is with alcohol. What is the message you are sending if you do not care about your employees smoking pot? Would you be ok if the pilot on your next flight was a pot smoker on the weekends and you are flying cross country on a Monday morning?

In the end it is all about company leadership making decisions and then implementing policies. Always seek the advice of an experienced employment attorney if you are going to have a policy that does not prohibit the use of a controlled substance illegal under Federal law.

Let's say this again for those in the back of the room - From an employer perspective, the primary concern is not whether kratom is legal or illegal, but whether it impairs an employee’s ability to perform work safely.
