RCMP relaxes cannabis rules for some officers, moves to ‘fit for duty’ standard
The RCMP has eased its policy on cannabis use by members, saying simply they must be fit for duty when reporting for work.
The new substance use policy replaces a 2018 rule that required front-line officers and many other employees in “safety-sensitive” positions to refrain from recreational cannabis use for four weeks before duty.
SO, if ever you find yourself confronted by an RCMP Mountie — before answering their questions — first ask if they’ve smoked up in the past 24 hours — “are they still stoned”?
