Temescal Wellness, which runs three licensed marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts, has announced that they’re making 4/20 a paid holiday for all their employees.
Sian Leininger, Director of Retail and Customer Engagement, says that this move honors both marijuana culture as well as employees, and will apply to its dispensaries, production facilities and corporate office.
“4/20 is a day to show appreciation, love and respect for cannabis and its power to help amplify the health and happiness that people experience in their daily lives,” says Leininger. “For us, it’s a day to celebrate our employees, whose passion, knowledge and true dedication inspires their unparalleled service to our customers and our community all of the other days of the year.”
Temescal Wellness says they’re dedicated to removing the stigma around cannabis consumption, and this move normalizes the holiday for members of the cannabis community, as well as the broader public.
“One of our core company values is wellness – and that means the wellness of our customers, our community, and our entire team,” said Leininger. “While 4/20 is one of our most profitable days, we hope making it a paid holiday off for our team elevates it as a day for everyone to celebrate cannabis and the community around it.”
Temescal Wellness has three cannabis dispensaries in Massachusetts, licensed for medical and recreational sales, in Framingham, Hudson and Pittsfield. They operate two production facilities (in Worcester and North Adams) and a corporate office in Framingham.
Customers can shop the Framingham Cannabis menu, the Hudson Cannabis menu, or the Pittsfield Cannabis menu online.
