Our intent is to make Missouri drug screening compliance as simple as possible. You don’t have to be a constitutional law scholar to conduct workplace drug testing in this state.
Missouri is a “Open” state, which means there are no state statutes, regulations or known court decisions that would limit your choices for implementing a drug or alcohol testing program or any aspect of it. Testing is your choice, but there may be federal rules to consider.
This overview is to introduce you to the nature and history of the state’s workplace drug testing rules and to provide a basic understanding of the compliance issues you may face when drug and alcohol testing in this state.
With the Amendment 2 passing by 65% for medical marijuana employers can still enforce drug-free workplace, including the screening of marijuana. Employers are cautioned as to any adverse action brought against a state-authorized medical marijuana user, especially in situations that do not included "reasonable suspicion" circumstances.

Medical Use: On July 14, 2014, Governor Nixon signed HB 2238 into law, which added sections to various Missouri laws permitting the growth and distribution of cannabidiol (CBD) to qualifying patients with intractable epilepsy. The law, focused largely on patient qualifications, growing, and distributing cannabidiol states in relevant parts. The law does not address the workplace in any fashion.
Amendment 2 was passed by 65%, this amendment is approving the medical use of marijuana. Which means a person that either meets a qualifying medical condition (any of the nine) or they get a medical authorization from a doctor, will be allowed to grow, possess and use marijuana, marijuana concentrates and marijuana edibles. This law will go into affect on December 6 2018.
Personal Use: This state does not currently have a personal use law.
