Area manufacturers, schools, financial institutions and health care providers riddled lawyers with inquiries last week, in the wake of the passage of Amendment 3. Employers were left to ponder: What do they need — or want — to know about their employees' after-hours cannabis use?
"We had an immediate influx of questions," said Jeremy Brenner, a partner at Armstrong Teasdale in Clayton who focuses on employment law.
