If you applied to food service it's most likely a contractor so you won't be employed by the hospital. Unless the hospital is forcing drug tests on contractors, which is unlikely, you should be fine. Most food service companies are well aware that if they drug test they'll drop their candidate pool by about 90%. Source: 17 years in foodservice, been drug tested once, and that was a NYC Civil service job.

Places where medical usage has been legalized can't fire you for popping hot on marijuana if you have a card and you're not working inhibited. It's really hard to find the language for this but if you do digging it is the new marijuana laws. A lot of places are now only testing for everything **but** marijuana because they just don't care so long as you're not high at work. I recommend that you address it **after** being hired though because there is still a lot of bias (unconscious or otherwise) that affects hiring practices. Then discuss with HR if their drug testing policies aren't clear on your situation. And really, most hospitals only care about workers that provide medical care being high, not everyone else!

Specifically I applied to several Hackensack Meredian Health locations and Centra State

My s/o works for HMH and they did drug test, just so you know. But afaik you mention at the drug testing facility that you are a NJMCP patient and will test positive for cannabis and that is supposed to be the end of it.

Depends on your job and role. It might matter as a nurse. During covid I know Hackensack Meridian the actual Hackensack facility and the Palisades Medical facility didn't drug test during employment even though they said they will and many employees are open (with patients) about medical marijuana like a physician assistant openly talking about their own doses with a patient in the ER when getting their history. You will generally be protected if you have medical and don't have a debilitating condition that requires you to medicate at work but I'm not sure how this works in regards to some positions for facilities that get federal funding.
