My winner of the weekend is marijuana.
Yep, I said it.
That's because more employers are caring less about you popping a gummy at night after a stressful day or when you want to just vibe out on a bench at Fort Greene Park.
According to new data from Quest Diagnostics, the share of urine tests that are positive for marijuana use rose 4.4% last year,
up from 3.9% in 2021.
Hair tests, which can detect drug use as far back as 90 days, revealed far more widespread use over the extended period of time.
About 15% of workers tested positive, a 60% jump from 2021.
It's all from a combination of factors.
One, more states are legalizing it.
20 states legalized it between 2016 and 2023, a rapid change by historical standards.
And today, 24 states have fully legalized it.
And two, more people are using it.
Weed among boomers hit its highest ever in 2025.
And Gen Z, we covered before in the show, are drinking less but are using marijuana more.
And three, then you have the Trump administration wanting to reclassify the drug from schedule one to schedule three, a less harsher classification, which could also affect employers' drug testing policies.
According to the Wall Street Journal, more employers don't see it as a red flag anymore and it's no longer a deal breaker when it comes to keeping or getting a job that it once was.
And some employers,
or even not even screening for the drug at all.
Kyle, this is a total shift from how it used to be, especially when it comes to the workplace.
I remember a time when movies and TV shows had entire plot lines where a character would try wild ways to circumvent their employer's drug screening to keep their job.
