5. Restaurant Industry

The restaurant industry is notorious for substance abuse. This can range from alcohol and weed to harder drugs. The lack of drug testing, late nights and high-stress level make the restaurant industry the perfect environment for casual marijuana use (or, unfortunately, harder drug use).

There are many job opportunities in the restaurant industry that let you be creative and social. You can cook, serve, bartend or own a restaurant or bar, all while smoking as much weed as you choose (at least on your days off).

Additionally, there are many career options in the new world of cannabis cooking. Prominent chefs like Cat Cora are experimenting with cannabis-infused dishes. Additionally, the world of edibles, chocolate or otherwise, is blowing up in states with legal marijuana.

All in all, if you work in a kitchen, you’ll be that much closer to food when you get the munchies.

  • 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
