This past week has been an interesting one in the legislative landscape regarding cannabis and the laws that surround it in America. There was a bill introduced last week called the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act. This bill creates a framework for how a nation wide legal cannabis market could look and provides a fair tax structure for small business vs. large businesses.
There also seems to be a continuance of the shift in the consciousness outside of the cannabis culture in terms of acceptance of the plant and its uses. Anyone within the culture already is aware of the many uses, but when people outside of the culture are beginning to take notice and think about what reality could look like with cannabis truly integrated into the day to day world, it means people outside the bubble are beginning to see things differently.
This is in reference to the HR Expert Jean Seawright publicly stating that companies should begin to reexamine their cannabis use policies in regards to medical patients; with a doctors note stating that patients are able to function and preform their work duties while having cannabis in their system, there should be no reason to prevent or terminate someone's employment.
