Abstract
The medicinal use of marijuana has been legalized in 23 states and the District of Columbia to date. Of these states, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and most recently Alaska have legalized the recreational use of marijuana for individuals 21 and older as well. There are also 18 states that have decriminalized its use while all other states have some form of prohibition laws. Because individuals with disabilities are at an increased risk for developing substance use disorders or have ailments (e.g., multiple sclerosis, neuropathic pain) that can possibly be treated using marijuana, this could potentially create an unwelcomed challenge through which counselors and consumers alike must navigate. As a result, it is important that counselors, service providers, and policy makers be proactive in thinking about and preparing for any and all consequences particularly as it relates to the vocational rehabilitation process. Engaging in dialogue and addressing the issues surrounding the use of marijuana beforehand allows for the development of an action plan that has been thoroughly considered and can then be administered in an efficient and streamlined fashion. This paper hopes to serve as the impetus for such dialogue while also providing information on marijuana’s pharmacological properties, the positive and negative benefits of its use, legal considerations, and training and educational implications for counselors.
