Legalization is spreading and the “4/20 Holiday” is predicted to be bigger than ever when it comes to legal cannabis sales. That means more Americans will be using marijuana for medical or recreational purposes, but have employers’ drug use policies changed with legalization?show more than 1,005 cannabis bills in state legislatures and Congress for 2019 sessions, so it’s hard for companies to keep up with changing laws and regulations.
Marijuana use doesn’t seem to differ between states where it is legal and states where it is not. About a third of workers across all states said they had used marijuana during the workday. This includes medical use, for example, to alleviate pain.
, a data service that tracks the industry, has analyzed retail sales data for the seven-day period of April 17-23 across 14 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. It found that average sales rise significantly, sometimes double or triple average sales, in pot shops and dispensaries on April 20. This year, 4/20 falls on a Saturday, and MJ freeway predicts major sales increases on that day, as well as on Friday 4/19 as people get ready for the weekend.
