[LISTEN] Don't think of going to work high on a joint...it can be tested

A look at ways in which cannabis use can be tested in the workplace.

If you think the recent Con Court ruling on dagga use means you're free to go to work high, think again!

Azania Mosaka spoke to Labour Law Specialist Puke Maserumule and Howard Dembovsky from Justice Project SA about the laws relating to cannabis testing.
