The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is easing its rules around cannabis use among workers.
The police force is now simply requiring all employees to be fit to perform their duties and carry out their responsibilities, and to not be impaired by drugs, alcohol or other substances when on duty or at work.
This is a big change – adopted earlier this month – from the previous rule requiring front-line officers and many other employees in “safety-sensitive” positions to avoid recreational cannabis use for a month before duty, reports The Canadian Press (CP).
