A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that frequent cannabis use increases workplace absenteeism among full-time employees, linking it to higher missed days.
The research revealed that employees who reported using cannabis in the last month missed, on average, 1.47 days of work due to illness/injury compared to 0.95 days for non-users.
Notably, employees with severe cannabis use disorder missed significantly more days, averaging 2.02 days due to illness/injury and 1.83 days merely absent for no reason.
The findings underscore a troubling trend where the normalization of cannabis use may be impacting workforce reliability, posing challenges for employers dealing with absenteeism.
