Medical Cannabis Workers Supported by the US Government

Twenty states, along with Washington, DC, may have voted to legalize medical marijuana, but at federal level the plant is still illegal.

You may have wondered what the medical marijuana workers’s status is then? Well, their labor rights are the same as all other workers.


There are lots of people treating the medical cannabis industry as something extraordinary. The truth is that this is an industry with normal workers who are trying to gain some money and provide good life for their families.

But there might be some problems with companies employing them and the bad company practices they use.

The National Labor Relations

Board has already supported for a first time medical marijuana workers in Maine. This happened as a result of complaints registered by the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UFCW) against a marijuana dispensary, called Wellness Collection of Maine.  Among the complaints against the company‘s practices is the illegal spraying of its cannabis plants with pesticide.

They were also accused of giving “disciplinary warnings” to their workers because of taking part in different activities. NLRB notified the company that it will pursue them until stopping with their bad practices.

Hemp is one of the most beneficial plants known to people. A certain strains of medical cannabis from ages has been used for treating numerous medical conditions and HEMP for the production of various materials such as plastic, rope and other fiber products.

Many people believe that exactly because of this widespread usage, it is still illegal in some states. To prevent competition. Let’s take for example the state of sunny California. The hemp market there is estimated to be valued at $500 million per year and also houses more than 50% of the nation’s plant production.

The movement for decriminalizing and regulating industrial hemp in states where its cultivation is illegal, is growing. If the Congress decide to legalize it, lots of advantages would appear for growers and companies. 





In the states where it is allowed, universities will also be able to cultivate hemp plants for research. The Governor of California Jerry Brown, has signed a bill that allows farmers to cultivate industrial hemp for sale of oil, seed, and fiber.

The legislation called ‘Senate Bill 566′ would help farmers sell their crops to numerous businesses that are working with overseas companies for importing raw hemp products.

The cultivation of hemp in California is a great way to revitalize the family farms, create new job this widespread usage and economic benefits. But before you starting growing without worries, wait till the newly passed hemp act is approved by the federal law.

According to Senator Mark Leno from San Francisco, "it’s about time the growers’ rights to cultivate hemp to be restored."
