Few Companies are Now Allowing Marijuana Use at Work

There are a handful of companies in the U.S that are allowing, and even encouraging employees to use marijuana during office hours. These companies are found in the four states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use, making the act of getting high at work completely legal.

These companies have looked at studies showing that marijuana use does not dumb down users and is not detrimental to one’s health. From there, they have decided that the use of marijuana could actually spark creativity and help to get work done.

Although there are many counter arguments on this issue saying that marijuana would actually hurt productivity and increase laziness, these companies put the responsibility in their employees hands to make the right decisions. Simply put, if the use of pot helps their creativity or productivity, they should use it. If it does not, they should stay away from using it during work hours.

Since most buildings today do not allow smoking of any kind inside, employees are using cannabis infused edibles, sodas, and juices instead.

The mass majority of employers do not allow anything like this at their companies, but the changing legislation and work cultures could bring an increasing number of workers who are high.
