Legal & Privacy
Can my employer find out I bought cannabis at a dispensary?
No, your employer cannot access your dispensary purchase records. Here's the full breakdown:
Your Privacy is Protected: - Dispensary records are confidential by law - Employers have no legal right to access purchase data - NJ privacy laws prohibit sharing this information
What Employers CAN Do: - Conduct drug tests (for most jobs) - Enforce drug-free workplace policies - Make employment decisions based on test results
What Employers CANNOT Do: - Access dispensary purchase records - Request purchase history from dispensaries - Be notified of your cannabis purchases
Important Considerations: - Cannabis can stay in your system for days/weeks - Drug tests don't distinguish legal from illegal use - Some jobs (federal, transportation, safety-sensitive) have strict drug policies - NJ has some workplace protections for cannabis users, but they're limited
Know Your Rights: - NJ CREAMMA law provides some employment protections - Employers generally cannot fire solely for off-duty legal cannabis use - Exceptions exist for safety-sensitive positions
Bottom Line: Your dispensary visits are private. However, if your employer drug tests, they may detect cannabis use regardless of where you purchased it.
