Legalization Cannabis reduces unemployment
- Legalization will bring trillions of dollars, huge growing rooms, and so much work for cannabis lovers.
For decades, the "Green Fever" has been a phenomenon seen exclusively in the Emerald Triangle of California (the region producing the largest amount of cannabis in the US). Thousands of people came to small forest towns and joined the local underground hemp industry. Canada will legalize cannabis this summer, so the wave of enthusiasm is shifting to the north, with up to 150,000 cannabis-related jobs.
According to Deloitte, Canada's cannabis industry is projected to be around $ 22.6 trillion and will be hired by labor recruits from growers to cutters to technical experts for months before legalization (July 1).
Why legalize cannabis in
Since the legalization of medical cannabis in 2001 , Canadian cannabis has experienced steady success. However, after the July legalization of cannabis for medical purposes, hemp would beindustry should become the foundation of the Canadian economy.
Companies are preparing for this transition by settling in small towns and trying to transform them quickly. OneLeaf Cannabis Corporation plans to build an approximately 4,000 square meter building in the Saskatachewan area, specifically in the town of Sherwood, which has just over 1,000 inhabitants. It is to employ about 10% of the local population and has great growth potential.
There are also companies, mesuch as Aurora, who is one of Canadas largest licensed growers and where they employ everything from combine harvesters to academics with college degrees. Their objectThe Aurora Sky is about 74,000 square meters and is planned to open in mid-2018. It is located in Alberta, Leduc County and will be the largest building of its kind in the world after construction.
Legal Hemp Industry
This is good news for the whole of society and for all who want to get into the hemp industry. When Cam Battley took on the role of CCO in 2016, the company had about 35 employees. There are currently about 500 of them, and this number is expected to double in the next twelve months.
And thats just "the top of it.", "says Cannabis At Work founder and directorSince 2015, the company has been able to connect employees with about 350 cannabis companies across the country. By-products will be the benefits for other industries we are not even thinking about yet, "says McMahon.
Stavebn The industry is an example of how another industry can benefit from hemp boomer.For example, in Ontario, it is trying to build new business complexes for Ontario Cannabis Retail Corp., which distributes cannabis and is government-driven. Weve seen something like that in countries where cannabis has become legal. For example, in Colorado, a large number of companies have been set up, focusing on the development of growing complexes, McMahon continues.
McMahon, too, emphasizethat cannabis is a great opportunity to employ people who had previously had problems with cannabis. Growers often find people who have already worked with cannabis because they know most about cannabis.
"Aurora managed one thingand to hire people with the best experiences and the greatest enthusiasm fort cannabis , "says Battley," which basically means hiring people from the cannabis and black market. "
Suretraining for cannabis workers
But in one area, hemp industry is still a little lagging, in the motraining opportunities for those who are just starting out in this sector. McMahon has tried to fill this market niche by offering short-term online courses that focus on delivering summary information on cannabis, but there is still a need for other educators to follow the path of, for example, Kwatlen Polytechnic University offering two-year programs on cannabis.
Battley believes that before this happens, provincial authorities should call upon existing communities that have cannabis experience to learn from them.
"We have a unique mixed culture that brings together people in suits like me with people from the community," Battley continues. "One of the best things about my job in this sector is that I learn from these people."
