Green Bridge Health - Business Services
Green Bridge Health provides cannabis education and consulting services for patients and businesses. More employees than ever are using medical cannabis through state programs, and federal legalization is inevitable. We provide consulting services and training to businesses to help them navigate this new landscape. Medical cannabis is helping millions of patients in the United States, and it has been approved to treat 23 conditions in Pennsylvania. Chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and cancer are some of the more common conditions currently being treated. For chronic pain patients, in particular, medical cannabis has been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies to be an effective and safer alternative to traditional opioid therapy. Unfortunately, the stigma and confusion surrounding medical cannabis are resulting in a number of lawsuits for businesses from employees. In August of 2021, the Superior Court in Pennsylvania ruled that the Medical Marijuana Act allows an employee to sue his or her employer for taking an adverse employment action based on the employee’s status as a certified user of medical marijuana. Through our consulting services and training for management and employees, Green Bridge Health can help businesses mitigate the risks of lawsuits and irresponsible use of medical cannabis on the job.
Proper use of medical cannabis can help employers as well as their employees. A study published in Health Economics in 2020, suggested that the availability of medical cannabis reduced overall worker’s compensation claims by 7%. Recently, The National Bureau of Economic Research published a study that found that states, where cannabis is fully legal, have 20% fewer workers’ compensation claims than other comparable states that have not fully legalized cannabis. Green Bridge Health provides training and consultation for employers concerning medical cannabis and the corresponding state programs.
