A friendly reminder that this industry is growing fast. If you’re serious, you’ll need a competitive edge when applying for roles. Being educated on marijuana regulation, and how the industry operates will help you stand out from the crowd. Due to national and international illegalities, the production and distribution of pot isn’t a simple science. Impress your future employers by knowing your stuff. Check out The Network for Public Health Law’s webinar on Lessons Learned and Paths Forward, or if you’ve got cash to spare, consider signing up for some online training.

There are opportunities to make money in an exploding industry that’s disruptive in the best of ways, and aligns with your own personal values and passions. Not to mention, it’s all because of weed.
