40. Marijuana and Driving
Marijuana is a factor in many fatal car crashes.
Driving ability is impaired for hours even after the high fades.

41. Rebuttable Presumption
The law specifies that marijuana is
covered under “rebuttable
presumption.”
In general, this means that an
employee whose injury was the result
of being intoxicated or under the
influence of marijuana is not eligible
for workers’ compensation.

42. Rebuttable Presumption
This is the case regardless of whether the
marijuana use is recommended by a
physician.
While the law does not specifically
address reimbursement for medical
marijuana recommended for injured
workers, Ohio law already has rules and
statutes in place that limit what
medications are reimbursable by BWC.
The law specifies that marijuana is
covered under “rebuttable presumption.”

43. Ohio BWC
• The administrator of workers' compensation may still
grant rebates and discounts on premium rates to employers
that participate in a drug-free safety program.
• An employer maintains the right to defend against
workers' compensation claims where use of medical
marijuana contributes to or results in injury. (Rebuttable
Presumption)

44. Employers
Rights
• Employers are not required to permit or
accommodate an employee's use, possession, or
distribution of medical marijuana.
• Employers could still maintain drug-free safety
policies, and patients fired for marijuana use would
be ineligible for unemployment compensation.
• Employees cannot sue employer for an adverse
employment action.

45. Positive Results
If someone takes a prescribed medication for a valid medical condition, MRO
may review that as negative and person likelyADA protected
Not true for Marijuana. Positive is still positive even with a prescription
Under the new Ohio law, employers have the option to prohibit medical
marijuana use or to treat medical marijuana similar to the way they treat the
use of legally prescribed drugs.

46. Drug Free Safety Policy
Your company has the right in its Drug Free Safety Policy to
determine if medical marijuana will be considered with the
following two options:
Two options:
Option A: No tolerance
Option B: Treat as they would other
prescribed medications and/or narcotics

47. COMMONLY ABUSED

 Opioids can be taken orally, or the pills
may be crushed and the powder
snorted or injected.
 Overdose deaths have resulted from
slow-release Oxycontin when injected.
 Injection and snorting allows for rapid
release into the bloodstream and is too
difficult to counteract potential
overdose.

51. COMMONLY ABUSED
DRUGS
HEROIN

52. Ohio
Statistics
Heroin
Heroin
• According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
Ohio had the second-highest
number of drug overdose deaths
nationwide in 2014.
• In March of 2016, 60 minutes
reported that 23 people on average
in Ohio are dying from heroin
overdoses weekly.

53. Heroin
• Heroin is an opiate drug that is
synthesized from morphine.
• A bag contains 100mg of powder, only a
portion of that is heroin.
• Pure heroin is a white powder with a bitter
taste.
• Today, heroin is more pure (95%) making
it more addictive and more deadly.

54. Heroin (continued)
 Heroin can be injected, snorted/sniffed, or
smoked—routes of administration that rapidly
deliver the drug to the brain.
 Heroin abuse is associated with serious health
conditions, including fatal overdose,
spontaneous abortion, and—particularly in
users who inject the drug—infectious diseases,
including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
 Mixing heroin, pain meds, cocaine,
amphetamines, alcohol, or benzos can result in
lethal overdose.
Commonly
Abused
Drugs:
Heroin

55. Medication
Assisted
Treatment
(MAT)
Methods:
 Methadone
 Suboxone
 Vivitrol

56.  Agonist - activates opioid receptors.
 Abuse of methadone is possible.
 Addicts may alternate between opioids and
methadone or sell their excess take home
supply.
 Methadone treatment follows structural
procedures such as required daily visits.
 Methadone treatment should be considered a
longer term treatment because there is a high
probability in relapse to opioids if ending
treatment in less than a year.
Medication
Assisted
Treatment
Methadone
Medication AssistedTreatment (MAT)

57.  Partial agonist - activates opioid receptors but
produces a diminished response.
 Taking this with central nervous system
depressants such as alcohol, sedatives and
tranquilizers is really dangerous.
 This can even be more addictive than opiates
that patients are trying to become freed from.
 Although it does not have similar narcotic
effects that some opiates have, it does have a
lightly nostalgic and calming opiate euphoric
effect.
Medication
Assisted
Treatment
Suboxone
Medication AssistedTreatment (MAT)

58.  Antagonist – blocks opioid receptors interfering
with the reward effects.
 Naltrexone blocks the euphoric and sedative
effects of drugs such as heroin, morphine, and
codeine.
 It works differently in the body than
buprenorphine and methadone, which activate
opioid receptors in the body that suppress
cravings.
 Naltrexone binds and blocks opioid receptors,
and is reported to reduce opioid cravings.
 There is no abuse and diversion potential with
naltrexone.
