9. Barista

If marijuana is a drug, then caffeine is too, right? In any case, chances are that if you apply for a job as a barista, you won’t get drug tested. Though Starbucks technically does drug test, most people who have worked for them report that they’ve never taken one.

Furthermore, Starbucks, known for being one of the more progressive mega-corporations, has some excellent benefits packages. They offer healthcare for employees working 20 hours or more per week. Another cool initiative helps employees pay for bachelor’s degrees.

Whether or not you work for an international corporation like Starbucks or your local café, it’s unlikely that your boss would ask you to pee in a specimen cup.

Final Hit: Top 9 Cannabis-Friendly Career Fields

As legal recreational marijuana becomes more prevalent and our cultural attitude towards marijuana shifts, more and more careers are accepting, or turning a blind eye to marijuana use.

But if you’re the kind of person for whom making money means buying the finest herb, we suggest you take a closer look at these careers. Your future could be green in oh so many ways.

  • 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
