The legal cannabis industry is posting some insane job-growth numbers. The total number of job postings for the cannabis industry increased by almost a 500% in 2017, as a host of states — including Florida — legalized the plant for adult consumption. That’s up from just 18% growth in 2016, according to a recent study, an online job platform. Nine states and Washington D.C. have legalized cannabis, though it’s considered an illegal, Schedule I drug at the federal level. Because of that trend, there are now more cannabis workers than dental hygienists in the US, according to Marijuana Business Daily, a financial-news publication focusing on the cannabis industry. The higher end of their estimate range suggests there were 230,000 people employed in the US legal cannabis industry in 2017, whereas there were two hundred thousand dental hygienists, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job growth in the cannabis industry is now outpacing some of the fastest-growing fields in the US, including tech and healthcare. Job postings in the healthcare industry grew 70% in 2017 while tech defined as jobs in the software and IT space rose by 254%, according to ZR’s data. The pace of cannabis-industry job growth increased throughout 2017 as businesses went on a hiring spree to gear up for the start of legal sales and Doctors in Florida. Cannabis jobs are mostly clustered in the industry’s epicenters — Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Colorado, according to ZR — as well as a few cities in Florida. Florida legalized medical cannabis in 2016. Now that marijuana is legal in California — by far the most populous state to legalize the drug — the report predicts the state will pull in over $5.1 billion in cannabis sales in 2018. For comparison, Californians bought $5 billion worth of beer in 2017, according to industry research group World. Total spending on legal cannabis is expected to skyrocket to over $21 billion by 2021 for all US consumers, the BDS report says. Factoring in “indirect effects” of legal cannabis revenue, such as transactions between cannabis companies and businesses in other industries (like shipping, packaging, payroll processing, etc.), BDS Analytics expects legalized cannabis to inject close to $40 billion into the US economy by 2021. The report, however, notes that forecasts about the cannabis business are difficult because its illegal status at the federal level means the federal government doesn’t track data for the industry. If marijuana were to become legal in all 50 states, a new report from cannabis industry research firm New Frontier Data estimates that the industry could add billions to US tax coffers. But that’s only if Attorney General Jeff Sessions — a noted cannabis legalization opponent — doesn’t pursue a federal crackdown.

The condition must be severe and/or debilitating in nature or else the doctor cannot recommend Medical Marijuana. The physician will need to know certain things about your condition, how long it has been present? How was it diagnosed? How does is affect your daily life? What brought your condition about? Please have either medical records that document the answer to these questions present at your appointment, or know your past medical & alcohol history so you may give a concise and complete overview of your medical history.

Your Florida Medical Marijuana Doctor cannot diagnose your condition, but only evaluate it to determine whether Medical Marijuana is right for you.
