Flexible Work Policy
Cannabis Policy Reminder
Policy Reminder: Cannabis sales legal, but use still against Rowan policies.
Although NJ law was changed on April 21, 2022 to permit adults in New Jersey to purchase cannabis for recreational use, Universities and healthcare organizations are covered by the federal Drug Free Workplace Act which does not recognize the legalization of marijuana possession or use in the workplace. Therefore, cannabis possession is still prohibited under federal law and, as a result, is NOT permitted on Rowan University properties.
NJ State legislation decriminalizes cannabis use and possession for persons age 21 and over. However, individuals over 21 are still subject to potential criminal fines and penalties for possession at levels above the personal use limitations. Employees found with cannabis on University property will be subject to discipline in accordance with the federal Drug-Free Workplace Act and applicable policies.
