Job-hunting doesn't have to be a downer. Here are some cannabis-friendly career fields to broaden your search.

3. Web Developer or Computer Programmer

A job in tech may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of cannabis-friendly career fields. However, a career as a web developer or a computer programmer can give you the perfect amount of autonomy needed to keep on smoking.

Many people who work in these fields either have their own web design companies or work as subcontractors. Typically, outside tech hires aren’t drug tested since they don’t fall under a larger company umbrella. And if you work for yourself, you can even blaze at work.

Plus, there’s little harm in being a little high while designing a website—it may even help you build something more innovative. Unlike other careers that involve heavy machinery, smoking weed while working in tech is relatively safe. As always, though, use your common sense.

  • Stop writing high.
    Seriously though, this is not an article for the layman trying to find a new job but keep smoking weed because it helps them with their inflammation or their anxiety.

  • Poor write up. Do better hightimes. Its not helpful in the leaat bit. Everyone wants a platform to mindlessly chat
