WEBINAR DETAILS

At year-end 2025, the long-awaited rescheduling of marijuana took a big step forward when President Trump signed an executive order reclassifying medical marijuana from a Schedule 1 drug (on par with heroin) to a Schedule 3 drug (comparable to Tylenol® with Codeine No. 3). Once enshrined as law, the historic rescheduling of medical marijuana will favorably impact the cannabis industry — and potentially could impact hospices and home care companies. This webinar will discuss what marijuana reclassification does (and does not) mean for the healthcare industry. Learn what this rescheduling means (or does not mean) for your organization’s marijuana policy, people, patients, testing program, terminations, accommodations, and other HR, HIPAA, and business issues.
