Cannabis in the workplace: Clearing the air

In 2018 the Constitutional Court handed down the landmark judgment of Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development and Others v Prince (6) SA 393 (CC), which legalised the private use and possession of cannabis. Concerns about the effect of the judgment in the workplace were ameliorated with an interpretation of the law, mostly in arbitration awards, which found that employers remain empowered to set workplace policies regulating substance abuse, including the use of cannabis. This position was recently confirmed in the 27 June 2023 Labour Court judgment of Marasi v Petroleum Oil and Gas Corporation of South Africa (C219/2020) ZALCCT 34.
