Medical Cannabis Cuts Work Absences | Tampa News

from Tampa Bay News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research from the University of Georgia reveals that medical cannabis is helping workers, especially those in physically demanding jobs like construction and healthcare, cut absenteeism by nearly seven percent—potentially saving billions in lost productivity. The study, based on data from over 20 million people, found that legal access to medical marijuana—not recreational use—was key, with the biggest gains seen among lower-educated workers. While limitations exist, including reliance on self-reported data, the findings suggest a powerful link between cannabis access and improved workplace attendance.
