Uncle Sam to end cannabis testing?
As Marijuana Moment reported, the subcommittee is drafting language for Congress' 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would make this ban on marijuana testing federal law. If passed, it would represent yet another step in a whole series of steps approaching full-scale legalization of marijuana at the federal level.

But what if the language does make it into law?

That being said, the overall effect on marijuana sales would probably be negligible.
