Regulation changes thus far concern medical cost management, claim handling, and effectuating enacted legislation. Year to date, there have been fewer workers compensation-related cases at the state supreme court level than there were in The 2016 General Election resulted in a net gain for Republicans in state government, where they now control both chambers of the legislature and the governor s office in 26 states.

72 Questions Raised by WC Stakeholders Is marijuana a safer alternative to opioids for pain management? Is it a less expensive alternative to other drugs? When a state legalizes marijuana, what is the potential impact on neighboring states? Should states consider fee schedules for marijuana (like New Mexico)? How are appropriate dosage levels determined? What is the impact on Medicare Set-Aside Allocations since marijuana is still illegal under federal law?

73 Legalization of Marijuana Summary States are increasingly legalizing marijuana in some form for medical use. Courts are increasingly dealing with contested cases of medical marijuana in the work environment. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law and remains a Schedule I drug.
