I dont see why employers should treat it any different to other medications. If it doesn't effect your performance and you aren't impaired then as an employee the patient should not face discrimination but I feel there is still progress to be made to eradicate the unnecessary stigma around CBPM's ( Cannabis Based Prescription Medication )
Most people who understand the medication realise that it can actually improve the patients performance as it brings them the balance and relief from health issues they need.

Medical cannabis and the workplace: an overlooked conversation?

As access to medical cannabis grows in the UK, one area that still feels unclear is how it fits into workplace policy...

Most HR frameworks are well-developed around prescription medicines in general, but cannabis often gets treated differently; sometimes through lack of understanding, sometimes because of outdated stigma. Patients can be left unsure whether they should disclose their prescription, worried about drug testing, or unclear about what support they can expect.

At Dalgety, we often hear that these uncertainties create real challenges, so we’re curious:

HR professionals, Clinicians, Business Leaders, Does your workplace have a clear policy on medical cannabis?

Should it be treated like any other prescription medicine?

What would give patients (and employers) greater confidence and clarity?

We’d love to hear your perspectives!

The more open the discussion, the faster we can move towards fair, safe, and supportive workplace practices.
