The State of Florida has a drug-free workplace program that regulates employer drug testing.  Employers in the State of Florida who establish this type of drug-free workplace program can qualify for a 5% discount on their workman’s compensation insurance premiums.  An employer needs to ensure that their state-free workplace program complies with Florida Statute 440-102.  
It is important to understand that although many States have enacted medical marijuana laws, the drug is still a Schedule 1 drug and illegal on the Federal level.  It is recommended that employers implement a written drug-free workplace policy and have all applicants and employees review it along with acknowledgment of receiving the policy. 

A comprehensive Florida Drug-free workplace policy should include:
• Increase productivity 
• Reduce accidents
• Decrease costs due to insurance claims.
• All employees will become more aware of the importance of safety in the workplace and will benefit from a safer work environment.
• When an employee incurs a work-related injury, and refuses to take a drug test when requested, the injured employee may forfeit eligibility for workers' compensation benefits regardless of the cause of the accident. 
• An employee who loses a job or is denied employment because of a positive drug/alcohol test, may not qualify for unemployment compensation benefits
