Employees Who Smoke Weed are Good For Business – Worker’s Comp Claims Drop in Legal States

There has long been the discussion about “cannabis at the workplace” and how it will impact the bottom-line for companies. Some people believe that by legalizing cannabis you’ll reduce productivity within the workplace – however, evidence suggests that this is not true. In fact, a recent study showed that in states with medical marijuana on the books – there was nearly a 7% decline in workers’ comp claims. When there were claims, the total period were also shorter than states that didn’t have a medical marijuana program on the books.
