I just did a Goggle search .. here is what I found...

At least thirteen states have passed legislation regarding drug testing or screening for public assistance applicants or recipients (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah.) Some apply to all applicants; others include specific language that there is a reason to believe the person is engaging in illegal drug activity or has a substance use disorder; others require a specific screening process.

From my quick skimming it appears that the law(s) are being held up in court at the moment. I am certain your Doctors will want to discuss your use and of course want you to stop using as it does de-stabilize many people with Bipolar.

You can do a goggle search, there is a lot of info available.



I found this info on the NCSL.org ....National conference of state legislatures
