The golden rule really will have to be don't ever carry cannabis on any flight in any form whatsoever.
Don't ever think you're "safe" because you are on a domestic flight either!
My diverted flight was one where we never got off, just the sick passenger (heart attack); then refuel and back to NYC. Now if a diversion for a bomb threat I could see clearing the plane and searching everyone.

But you you are correct, never risk crossing international borders with drugs that are classified as illegal. during the 90s when I returned to the US from Europe I was often asked “Did you go to Amsterdam?”.

And as for the OP — I imagine businesses are still looking at the legal requirements on how to adjust policies. Many issues will be covered under workplace working under the influence policies.

What they ban passgers from? Edibles? how well would it be enforced?
