State Testing Policy
Oklahoma law generally prohibits discrimination against medical marijuana patients or those with positive marijuana drug tests, requiring employers to justify termination or refusal to hire based on specific, documented evidence of impairment affecting job performance or safety, with exceptions for safety-sensitive positions.
