Stuart Rudner spoke at the Benefits3 Conference 2016 where he addressed medical marijuana; finding the balance between the duty to accommodate and the need to keep the workplace safe.
The document discusses the history and current status of marijuana legalization. It notes that marijuana has been used for thousands of years for medical and religious purposes. In the early 1900s, it was prohibited in the US due to racist fears that it incited violence in Mexican and black communities. However, the document argues marijuana has medical benefits and should be legalized. Legalizing marijuana could generate tax revenue, reduce incarceration rates, and allow the reintroduction of hemp as an industrial crop. The document aims to dispel myths about marijuana and advocate for its legalization and regulation.
Conference Board of Canada Presentation: Medical marijuana in the workplaceRudner Law
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on accommodating medical marijuana in the workplace. It discusses the duty to accommodate under human rights law, including establishing discrimination, bona fide occupational requirements, and undue hardship.

Marijuana refers to parts of the Cannabis sativa plant that contain the psychoactive compound THC. It is commonly smoked or consumed in edibles. While some states have legalized it, marijuana can have both short and long-term effects on the brain and health. It may be addictive for about 30% of users, especially those who start using it as teenagers. While most users do not progress to harder drugs, marijuana may increase the pleasure of other drugs and could be a "gateway" for some. There is debate around both sides of its legalization.
- Marijuana legalization advocates have effectively organized and messaged their position, securing support and passing ballot initiatives in some states.
- Opponents of legalization need to learn from their tactics and emphasize potential risks of legalization to public health and safety, especially for youth.
- While current drug policies could be reformed to reduce incarceration, legalizing marijuana could normalize and increase use, especially among kids, with negative health outcomes and unknown economic and social costs.
- Moving forward, opponents should focus on the specifics of legalization proposals rather than generalizations, build new partnerships, and position themselves as favoring sensible reform rather than appearing inflexible.
The position of the federal government remains that it is illegal to use, sell, cultivate, or distribute marijuana for whatever reason and anyone involved in these activities may be subject to prosecution. That said, the US Attorney General and the Obama administration generally run on a policy of not actively pursuing users and distributors as a legal priority.

It also describes an interview with a police officer who did not support legalization. The author notes facts about the lack of overdoses and drug violence in Mexico. In the end, after considering different perspectives, the author expresses the opinion that marijuana should be legalized given that it is not deadly and could provide tax revenue.

Medical Cannabis and Cancer Research
A Little Cannabis History...
Cannabis has been used for medical purposes dating back at least 3,000 years.It was in the 1840s when cannabis was first introduced to Western medicine by W.B. O'Shaughnessy, a medical doctor who worked in India for the British East Indies Company. Back then cannabis was a useful treatment option for analgesic, sedative, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and anticonvulsant benefits.
The United States Treasury Department introduced the Marihuana Tax Act in 1937. This Act enforced a levy of $1 an ounce of medical cannabis and $100 an ounce for recreational use. In the United States, the medical doctors were the principle opponents of this Act.The American Medical Association (AMA) opposed the Act since physicians were had to pay a special tax for recommending medical cannabis, use special order forms to obtain it, and extra record-keeping for prescribing it.
Also, the AMA rejected the “idea” that cannabis was harmful and they knew that by adopting the Act it would further impede scientific research into cannabis’ medicinal value. In 1942, cannabis was eliminated from the United States’ Pharmacopoeia.Then in 1951, Congress passed the Boggs Act, which classified cannabis with illegal and dangerous narcotic drugs. And in 1970, with the adoption of the Controlled Substances Act, cannabis was then classified as a Schedule 1 Drug by Federal Law.
Drugs that are classified as a “Schedule 1” Drug are illegal and said to have “no accepted medical use,” and other drugs in this category include heroin, mescaline, cocaine, meth, and many more.Cannabis was (and still is) classified as having no medical use by the United States government, even though cannabis was distributed to patients in a federal project established in 1978 called the Compassionate Use Investigational New Drug program.The program was discontinued in 1992.
What Are Cannabinoids and How Do They Work?
"Cannabinoids" is a blanket term covering a “family” of complex-chemicals that lock onto cannabinoid receptors (which are protein molecules on the surface of cells). The cannabis plant produces a resin, which contains this large, psychoactive “cannabinoid family” of chemical compounds.For 1000s of years humans have used cannabis for medicinal and recreational purposes, but cannabinoids themselves were first extracted from cannabis plants in the 1940s. The structure of the main ingredient of cannabis - delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - was discovered in the 1960s.
It had not been till the late 1980s that scientist discovered the first cannabinoid receptor, quickly followed by another discovery: humans develop cannabinoid-like chemicals within our bodies, called endocannabinoids.The strongest potency of cannabinoids is found in the female flowers of the cannabis plant.

Cannabis, or marijuana, has many potential uses including paper, clothing, plastics, and fuel. However, it was made illegal in the 1930s due to a conspiracy involving powerful industries that saw hemp as competition. While one study claimed cannabis caused brain damage, more recent research has found medicinal properties in reducing tumors and relieving pain and nausea. Legalizing cannabis could generate billions in tax revenue while reducing incarceration rates and drug-related crimes. Proposition 19 in California proposed legalizing cannabis similar to alcohol laws. In conclusion, the author argues cannabis should be legalized.
This document argues that cannabis should be legalized. It discusses how cannabis has legitimate medical uses in reducing tumors and treating conditions like cancer, anorexia, and PTSD. However, it was made illegal in the 1930s due to a conspiracy involving powerful industries that saw cannabis as competition.

Marijuana has a long history dating back thousands of years, first used in China around 6000 BC. It was used medicinally in ancient China and spread throughout parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Marijuana was introduced to the American colonies in the 1600s and was a major commercial crop for the first few hundred years. Views on marijuana became more controversial in the early 1900s and it was banned in many places in the following decades amid fears it was a gateway drug. While it remained illegal under federal law, its use increased in popularity among students in the 1960s and medical marijuana has since been legalized in some states.

The origins of the current heroin crisis in America can be traced back to the overprescription of opioid painkillers in recent decades. As opioid prescriptions and sales increased aggressively starting in the late 1990s, so too did rates of opioid addiction, overdose deaths, and users transitioning from prescription opioids to heroin. While heroin use has been an issue in the past as well, linked to wars and social movements, the current crisis is uniquely tied to changes in opioid prescribing practices that flooded the country with highly addictive pain pills and helped reintroduce heroin as a cheaper alternative to prescription opioids.

Political Economy of Medical Marijuana by Anthony WhiteAnthony White
This document provides a historical overview of the legal status of marijuana in the United States. It discusses how marijuana was initially a legal commodity but became criminalized in the 1930s due to anti-immigrant sentiment and propaganda linking it to Mexican immigrants. The Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 and Controlled Substances Act of 1970 officially prohibited marijuana. However, the document argues criminalization was based on racial prejudices rather than evidence, and its current illegal status is an anomaly compared to its historical acceptance in the US.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Legalization vs. Decriminalization
• Legalization: the product would be sold legally and taxed in a
well-regulated market (like buying alcohol at the liquor store
which is controlled by the state)
• Decriminalization: it would no longer be considered a punishable
crime to possess, but sale would still be a punishable offense.
