HOW CAN WE HELP?
If you’re looking to analyze or make changes to your department’s policy concerning CBD, we can help. We can propose policy language to help you get started, read over your current policies or CBA to determine where and how CBD can fit in, and even perform research on your state’s legal definitions of certain words like “cannabis,” “cannabidiol (CBD),” “hemp,” and other common words in both our industry and department policies.
We’ve helped administrators and union reps in several agencies with this work, as well as helped firefighters draft talking points to advocate for change within their departments. While there are commonalities, every policy and every state can be just a little bit different, and these small differences can completely change what your policies mean.
This is a service we provide for free. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you have about your policy, big or small.
Disclaimer: We are not attorneys, any opinions we share about CBD policy are not to be considered legal advice. If you’re considering changing your CBD policy, please speak with your organization’s administrators about the proper legal course to do so.
