Drugs and alcohol tear families apart, and they have disastrous consequences in the workplace. Employees who abuse drugs and alcohol tend to be tardy or absent more frequently, and they’re also statistically more likely to steal or be involved in workplace accidents.

But how can you run a random drug testing program if you own or manage a small company with only a few employees?

Cannabidiol (CBD oil) products are legal to purchase and available at drugstores, grocery stores, and even convenience stores.

But will you fail a drug test if you’re using CBD oils for legitimate medical reasons?
