I had a job offer in NY for a residential sales role. After the pre-employment drug test, they rescinded it.

In a recorded call, they directly said it was because of marijuana/THC.

My understanding is NY law (§201-D) protects lawful off-duty cannabis use.

Can an employer still legally deny a non-safety, non-DOT job for THC in NY, or is that a violation of §201-D?
Thank you for your help

I had a job offer in NY for a residential sales role which I accepted. After the pre-employment drug test, I received an email that they had rescinded it.

I then reached out to the company number provided. In a recorded call, they directly said it was because of marijuana/THC.

My understanding is NY law (§201-D) protects lawful off-duty cannabis use.

Can an employer still legally deny a non-safety, non-DOT job for THC in NY, or is that a violation of §201-D?
