Despite the recruiting power of a rich parental leave policy, many companies burned by the recession still don't want to spend the money on paid leave.
'People aren't using drugs to get blasted into outer space. In a small amount, people are finding they are having more focus, instead of that typical cannabis experience when they're a little distracted and hazy.'
