I can remember taking some excruciating long test in senior year of high school that was supposed to help you on your career path in life.
One day the class councilor called me in his office, “I’m Sorry I Lost Your Test!”
It probably said “should work with plants, more specifically cannabis” anyways and here we all are…
Had a long conversation with a bud tender this week, we talked about the inner workings of this part of the cannabis machine to exhuastion…. bottom line you ask? Most these places suck to work at and are a revolving door of under trained over employed pissed off zombies. Avoid these jobs, unless its a five star environment you sense when you walk in… But all these companies urgently hiring bud tenders weekly are bad news Indeed.
I have over 10 interviews out there waiting to here back on for this letter, but when you work 60-70 hours a week it’s hard to find time for anything, so this one is late today. Onward.
The cannabis industry has passionate activists to business-savvy entrepreneurs, the industry has become a melting pot of creative minds, bold thinkers, trailblazers. Here are just a few of the personalities that you can expect to find in the cannabis industry.
The Activist:
The cannabis industry owes a great deal to those who fought tirelessly for its legalization. The Activist is usually one of the first personalities you'll come across in the industry. They are passionate about the medicinal benefits of cannabis and advocate for its legalization in all 50 states. These individuals usually have a deep understanding of the plant's history, cultural significance, and the journey that led to its legalization.
The Entrepreneur:
Risk-takers and bold thinkers who make up the booming industry are entrepreneurs who strive to bring change and innovation to the industry. This group is quick to spot new opportunities and trends and are best positioned to take advantage of legal changes in the cannabis industry. They lead the charge on creating new cannabis companies, scaling the industry, and meeting the demands of the ever-growing market.
The Business Expert:
Some people believe that the cannabis industry is just about pot smoking. However, this is not the case. Cannabis companies need compliance experts to help navigate the regulations that come with operating in this industry.
The Consumer Expert:
The cannabis industry is unique in that the end-user isn't just a customer; they're often cannabis users themselves. For this reason, the industry relies on Consumer Experts to help guide consumers through the vast array of products available. These individuals provide guidance to customers about the various strains and products on the market. They provide insights into the best consumption methods and help users navigate the regulatory environment.
The Celebrity:
Maybe the most polarizing segment of the industry. These individuals have a tremendous influence on the industry, as their celebrity status brings further awareness to the benefits of the plant, but how often do they research the company verusu take the money? They often partner with cannabis companies to create their signature brands and influence product design and marketing campaigns and then they disappear. Not all of them, for instance Breal and Method Man have ben staunch supporters of their brands.
The Medical Expert:
I appreciate being able to share articles with a pro cannabis Doctor on the regular, research suggests that cannabis has the potential to treat a variety of medical conditions ranging from cancer to anxiety and depression. Medical experts in the cannabis industry are passionate about the medicinal use of cannabis. They have a deep understanding of the plant's active ingredients and the conditions they treat. These individuals bring together science and medicine to create cannabis products for specific medical conditions.
The Garbage Human:
A business man who has no scruples and feelings in their dealings is commonly referred to as a ruthless or unscrupulous business person. They are often described as lacking in empathy or moral principles, willing to pursue their goals at any cost, even if it means sacrificing the well-being of others or breaking the law. Such individuals prioritize their personal gains over ethical considerations and do not hesitate to use any means necessary to achieve their objectives, the cannabis industry like others isn’t immune to these characters either.
The Influencer:
The highest burnout rate of any of them, social media and big smiles… if this is you enjoy your ride but you best prepare for what’s next. Social media is dying isn’t it?
The Concierge:
Cannabis concierges are your guide into the wonderful world of weed. They're there to educate you on the path of cannabis consumption. Oh ok….
They can help you with product selection, provide recommendations and so much more if you know less than a thimbles worth of cannabis knowledge and don’t own a cel phone. This one bugs the shit out of me for some reason and maybe it shouldn’t? Stick to Weedmaps imo.
Cya next time.
