A recent study analyzed a large dataset to understand the impact of medical cannabis on workplace absences. The data, collected from over 20 million people, showed a decrease in health-related work absences. This decrease occurred in areas where medical marijuana was permitted.

The reduction in absences was around 7 percent. Medical marijuana is often used to treat various conditions, including physical and mental health issues.

Further information on the study's findings is available, including details on the dataset and methodology used. The study's results suggest a connection between medical cannabis and reduced workplace absences, although more information is needed to understand the relationship.
