Cannabis news worldwide -- Colorado occupations where people use the most cannabis

Colorado occupations where people use the most cannabis

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment released a study that lists the occupations in which marijuana use is the most common.

In a group of 10,169 adults in the state, 14.6% self-reported current marijuana use.

On the top of that list? Not surprising for anyone who has worked in these industries: food services took the number one space with 30.1% prevalence of current marijuana use, followed by artists at number two with 28.3%.

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO

The Half-Legal Cannabis Trap - POLITICO LOS ANGELES — Everything about Kelvin’s job in a neighborhood southwest of downtown seemed like any other assignment, if not a little more exciting. The 40-year-old, who had previously worked as an electrician, had been employed since 2015 by a private security company that contracted him out to guard marijuana dispensaries. In 2019, he was protecting one of the thousand or so cannabis stores in California’s biggest city—part of an industry that has grown less and less underground since 1996, when the state first legalized medical marijuana.
