**Note that became legal in Ohio in 2016 for medical use. However Willoway Nurseries Inc. Drug Free Safety Policy does not recognize medical or recreational as acceptable in the workplace regardless of whether the employee has a prescription or not. The presence of THC will still be considered a positive test result. This mirrors Federal law which does not recognize as legal as the laws are written and voted on at the State level.
