State-by-State Medical Marijuana Laws [Infographic]
Twenty six states, plus the District of Columbia and Guam, have passed statutes enacting comprehensive public medical marijuana and cannabis programs. In most states, medical marijuana patients must see a physician, then apply to the state program, pay a fee, and receive a medical marijuana ID card that enables them to purchase marijuana products at sanctioned dispensaries.
The states shaded on the map below, as indicated in the key, have decriminalized medical marijuana to some degree, but many still afford employers wide discretion over how to handle marijuana usage among employees. Some states have statutes prohibiting adverse employer actions and discrimination against medical marijuana card holders. Some states require accommodation for employees who use medical marijuana, but no states require employers to accommodate on-duty use.
Review the map below to determine the general statutes in your state(s) regarding medical marijuana.
DB+J Design Portfolio
This document provides summaries of several design projects completed by DB+J Design, including websites for medical centers, health services organizations, and restaurants. It also summarizes an application interface redesign for a digital dining system called e|tab and identities and packaging designs for various clients. Financial information is presented for Missouri Professionals Mutual, including growth in total cash and investments from 2003 to 2007.
HBR
This document summarizes and critiques the current state of Medicaid in the United States. It argues that Medicaid is poorly designed, with costs spiraling out of control while the quality of care deteriorates. The document advocates for giving states more flexibility to reform Medicaid through block grants or health savings accounts, citing examples from Rhode Island and Indiana where such reforms were successfully implemented and improved outcomes while reducing costs.
Epg Presentation Tip Pooling And Server Banking.10.06.09
This document discusses tip pooling and server banking practices and related wage laws. It defines tip pooling as employees sharing tips among coworkers, which laws regulate whether tips can be shared with non-servers. Server banking refers to servers using their own or employer-funded cash to make change for customers. New Hampshire and Massachusetts laws prohibit tip pooling that requires employee participation or shares tips with non-servers. California law designates tips as sole employee property. The document analyzes whether server banking constitutes unlawful wage deduction and considers the Department of Labor's view that initially funding the bank is allowed but not requiring servers to fund it. The presenter, Christopher Vrountas, leads an employment law practice group and represents companies in employment litigation.
Epg Webinar.9.29.09
This webinar provided a brief review of recent Supreme Court decisions concerning U.S. anti-discrimination laws.
Types of training
This document outlines different types of training provided in organizations: induction/orientation training introduces new employees; job training increases skills for current roles; safety training minimizes accidents; promotional training prepares for advancement; refresher training updates skills; remedial training addresses issues; and internship training provides practical experience. It also provides examples of training programs from companies like Infosys, Siemens, and Motorola that improved employee productivity and performance through continuous learning initiatives.

AJPH LETTERS AND RESPONSES
THE POTENTIAL
DATA-GENERATING ROLE OF
A FEDERAL JUNK FOOD AND
SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGE
TAX
We read with interest the article byPomeranz et al.1 on the legal and
administrative feasibility of implementing
a federal junk food and sugar-sweetened
beverage (SSB) tax. As the authors indicate,
such a tax could improve diets on an un-
precedented scale. In addition, this tax could
generate data to advance research and
evidence-based policies.
Surveys are traditionally used in epidemio-
logical studies of food and beverage con-
sumption,2–4 but population-level data may
offer more comprehensive and reliable evi-
dence regarding such trends. If designed and
implementedeffectively,thejunkfoodandSSB
tax could provide an invaluable tool to public
health researchers, epidemiologists, and poli-
cymakers seeking to understand the effects of
thetaxandotherinterventionsonconsumption
over time. Excise tax revenues are correlated
with, or even proportional to, consumer de-
mand for a particular good or service. We re-
cently demonstrated this approach with indoor
tanning service excise tax revenues to estimate
national trends in the prevalence of indoor
tanning.5 Similarly, revenue data could be used
to approximate junk food and SSB consump-
tion over time. Alternatively, tax legislation
could mandate reporting of the quantity of
junk food and SSBs sold.
As mentioned by the authors, an excise
tax could be levied anywhere along the
supply chain, from suppliers and manufac-
turers to distributors and retailers. As the
end of this chain, retail sales are the best ap-
proximation of junk food and SSB con-
sumption. Thus, a point-of-sale tax may
provide more reliable and timely data on
consumption than a manufacturer tax,
which would tax junk food and SSBs
not yet purchased by consumers. Moreover,
retailers could more easily report the
geographic location of sales, permitting
determination of regional consumption pat-
terns. With this information, researchers
could analyze the effects of various state
and local public health interventions.
Despite these advantages, a point-of-sale
tax might be more administratively com-
plex given the higher market fragmenta-
tion in the grocery industry than in food
manufacturing. Regardless of which entities
are taxed, food sales in different product or
nutrition categories would ideally be re-
ported separately to provide more detailed
consumption data.
We commend the authors for advancing
the discussion on how innovative tax policies
could improve public health. A federal junk
food and SSB tax has the potential to simul-
taneously deter unhealthy behaviors among
consumers and illuminate consumption
trends as a means of informing policy.

Marketing food service new slides2
This document discusses various marketing environment forces that affect marketing decisions including political, legal, regulatory, societal, economic, competitive, and technological forces. It provides examples of how each force influences customers' preferences and needs as well as marketing managerial decisions. The document also outlines several laws and government agencies in the US that regulate industries and protect consumers through enforced regulations and standards.
Conclusao de Curso
This document discusses critical success factors, problems, and the external environment for Krispy Kreme. It identifies key success factors such as R&D, regulations, growth markets, brand recognition, and distribution. Major problems are a weak international presence, lack of healthy options, and over-reliance on few products. The political/legal environment is highly regulated but also protects trademarks. Socio-cultural trends favor doughnuts but healthy eating is a threat. Demographically, the US population is growing and becoming more racially diverse, with Hispanics increasing rapidly.
The Economics of Genetically Modified Food Labeling
This document summarizes a paper on the economics of genetically modified food labeling. It begins with an abstract that outlines trends in food regulation, production, and consumer behaviors relating to GM food labeling. It then provides background on food labeling legislation in the US over the past century. Finally, it discusses the types of food labeling (voluntary vs mandatory), current GM food labeling legislation, and the government agencies involved in enforcing food labeling laws.
S&R July 2013 Packaging
Food labelling in South Africa is regulated by multiple government departments, which can make compliance complex. Updating labels to meet new regulations is expensive for manufacturers. While non-compliance can result in fines, some manufacturers and smaller retailers have yet to fully implement the necessary changes. Consumers are increasingly aware of their rights regarding labelling and instances of reported mislabelled products are growing. Industry players need to make a greater effort to understand and follow all applicable labelling rules.
National Diabetes Volunteer Leadership Council opposes California's AB1893
The National Diabetes Volunteer Leadership Council opposes AB 1893 unless amended for the following reasons:
1) The bill mandates that patients with chronic diseases like diabetes purchase sharps containers when buying medical supplies, which is an unworkable framework that punishes people for their medical conditions.
2) The rhetoric used by bill authors to promote the legislation is inflammatory and falsely suggests people with chronic diseases improperly dispose of needles, when most are responsible.
3) There are cheaper sharps containment options approved by health authorities that are mandated by the bill.
4) The bill conflicts with health insurance coverage and does not address disposal by intravenous drug users.
SAC360 Chapter 24 safe food and drugs
The document discusses government regulation of food and drug safety in the United States. It notes that responsibility is divided between multiple agencies, including the Department of Agriculture (USDA) which regulates meat and poultry, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which regulates all other foods. However, the FDA has a smaller budget and less regulatory authority than the USDA despite regulating most foods. The document also outlines various food and drug safety measures, controversies around clinical drug trials and dietary supplements, and politics around the FDA approval process.
Crafty Lawyers Feed Off Craft Foods
Plaintiffs' lawyers have been filing more class action lawsuits against large food and beverage companies that use terms like "craft", "handmade", or "artisanal" in their labeling and marketing. These lawsuits claim consumer deception since the products are mass produced, not made through unique processes as implied. While the lawsuits result in settlements, most of the money goes to the lawyers' fees, with consumers receiving little. Regulators need clearer standards for labeling terms, and courts should ensure settlements truly benefit consumers rather than just lawyers.

AADE letter opposing AB 1893
The American Association of Diabetes Educators opposes AB 1893, which would mandate patients with chronic diseases purchase sharps containers when buying medical sharps. The AADE believes the bill places an unnecessary burden on patients, lacks scientific basis, and fails to adequately address disposal needs while penalizing those with chronic conditions. Additional data is needed on sharps in waste streams before responsible legislation can be considered. The AADE cannot support the bill unless harmful provisions are removed and significant amendments are made.

The document contains summaries of the roles and responsibilities of several US government agencies and organizations:
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission protects public safety from risks of injury from consumer products. It works to reduce deaths and injuries from items like toys and power tools.
- The Food and Drug Administration ensures safety of drugs, medical devices, food, and other products, while also helping to advance innovation and provide information to the public.
- The Department of Transportation works to ensure safe, efficient transportation in the US across many modes of travel like roads, rail, and aviation.
- The Environmental Protection Agency leads environmental research efforts and protects human health and the environment from pollution and other environmental risks.
Legal Online Services
This document discusses regulation and competition in the US legal services industry. It notes that each US state separately licenses attorneys. Historically this was to ensure attorneys know the specific state's laws. The document examines various state regulations on attorney advertising, such as restrictions on quality claims, comparative ads, testimonials, and past successes. It argues that overly broad restrictions can inhibit competition and consumer choice, and that truthful, non-deceptive ads help consumers make informed decisions. The document concludes that advertising benefits consumers by helping them locate appropriate legal help and lowering prices.

The document argues that overly broad restrictions can inhibit competition and limit consumer choice, and that advertising generally benefits consumers by providing information and lowering prices. It also discusses debates around letting non-lawyers provide some legal services, noting this could lower costs but states aim to ensure only lawyers provide services requiring legal expertise.
New Opportunities in Health Law
The 2010 Affordable Care Act has transformed our nation’s
health care system, creating myriad opportunities for
attorneys and professionals along the way. Now more than ever, attorneys in most fields of practice are
destined to overlap with health care law.

Life Sciences Report
The life sciences industry is a key contributor to the Canadian and global economies. In the pursuit of competitive advantage, participants in the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and diagnostic, and health-careservices sectors have seen significant growth attributed to major leaps in technology and an unprecedented demand for health-related goods and services. This growth has paralleled the expansion and imposition of more stringent regulatory requirements, improvement of market access, aggressive patent acquisition and enforcement, strategic M&A activity, and increased product liability claims and other litigation.
This report highlights insights and developments relating to a wide range of legal, business and consumer issues currently impacting the life sciences industry in Canada and abroad. These highlights were prepared by Blakes based on non-confidential information gathered in our practices, as well as through a review of publicly available information. Through
a series of articles, we examine the implications of some of the recent legal developments impacting the sector, including the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision to uphold Ontario’s ban on private-label generic drugs, the enforcement of prohibitions on pharmacy-related loyalty points in B.C., the Competition Bureau’s ongoing consideration of competition among pharmaceutical companies, and recent trends in Canadian litigation. We also discuss issues relating to the navigation of transfer-pricing rules, protecting intellectual property in the development of combination products, and obtaining financing for new product development and business expansion efforts. Supplementing our discussion of these matters are snapshots of consumer-facing and market trends, including integrated patient care and direct-to-consumer sales.
