Some Major American companies are allowing, and even encouraging, cannabis consumption by their employees in the work place. The companies, not surprisingly, are in the marijuana business in
Colorado, where recreational use of pot is legal. Managers say they
encourage marijuana use on the job because they believe it increases
productivity and creativity.
Flowhub, which provides software to the cannabis industry, allows
workers to bring in pot-laced edibles and drinks. The company has been
pot-friendly from day one.
Flowhub co-founder and CEO Kyle Sherman said;
"If it helps our employees get work done, then we don't care if they consume at work,""It definitely surfaces new ideas and a fresh take on things." "Our clients are some of the biggest firms in the cannabis industry," "We have to be on point with our work. We've never had a problem yet."
HIgh There! — a company that operates a social media platform for
cannabis users — also nurtures pot use among workers, usually later in
the day or during "brainstorming" sessions. "It has led us to
breakthrough moments for our business," said High There! co-founder
Darren Roberts.
"Being in Denver, we're in the heart of the cannabis industry," he added. "Cannabis is part of our culture."
Isaac Dietrich, co-founder of MassRoots, another cannabis social
media network, says he schedules weekly smoking sessions on the roof of
his apartment building for strategic sessions and employee bonding.
"I thought up MassRoots when I was smoking weed in my college friend's apartment," said Dietrich, whose firm has 30 employees and has raised $4.4m (£3.1m) in funding.
