Happy Easter, Peeps.

Data from the Associated Press tells us that there are now more than 300 banks and credit unions in the United States transact with cannabusinesses.

John Boehner recently entered the news cycle once more. He sat on a panel at SXSW on his cannabis ventures, however received some protest from the crowd. One of the loudest organized protests came from the Equity First Alliance who focused on the fact that “wealthy white men in suits” were profiting from the cannabis industry, when people of color are still disproportionately incarcerated or barred from entry.

The CDC argued that employers should at the very minimal prohibit workers from consuming “on the job site” or showing up to work impaired. This of course is common sense, but officially this is the recommendation. The CDC also suggested that companies employ a lawyer to check over their cannabis policy so that it’s in line with state legislation. Another suggestion that the CDC offered was to provide workers with “access to support” to employees with a substance abuse problem with “in-house solutions” or recommending people to local resources. This is an interesting approach and is counter the typical approach of just firing someone if they struggle with drug use.
