The punishment is a reduction from the initial termination

An employee of Nav Canada had their punishment reduced to a year of unpaid suspension after an arbitrator ruled against their supposed termination for violating a company policy. In a report from the HR Reporter, the employee was initially fired after consuming cannabis while attending a course at Nav Canada's training centre in Ontario.

According to the report, the employee reportedly consumed cannabis on two consecutive evenings so he can fall asleep. The security at that time notified the employee about the complaints of cannabis smell and asked them to refrain from consuming it on Nav Canada property.

Should Budtenders Be Required To Educate Public Over Health Effects Of Cannabis?

Researchers at the University of Washington found that while budtenders were good about educating their customers over the benefits of weed, they didn’t warn them about all the evils that could arise.
