Got My Marijuana License ; - )

Okay, I can't help but feel this funny odd feeling that selling pot legally is not real. Marijuana was illegal for most of my life. Even though medical has been legal for years now in my state, and recreational use, legal for fourteen months, I find myself to be shocked that today I got my occupational support license, also known as your MED license. (Marijuana Enforcement Division) Wish my pot smoking dead brother was alive to see it. 

This is the least expensive license to get. $150.00 for two years, in my state of Colorado. Now I can work in any MMC, OPC, MIP, Retail store, cultivation or product manufacturing facility. You can't work with out some type of license. I will not  be able to be a manager or someone who makes decisions for the company unless I upgrade my license to a $300.00 dollar badge. 



According to the local news there were nine thousand of these types of badges issued in 2014. Wow, that's a ton of people looking for jobs! The day I applied the small office was packed full of applicants. Multiply that by five days a week, times the entire state of Colorado, and that's my competition! Add in the fact I have absolutely no experience in the black market or legal marijuana market. I can't put on my application "Oh, yeah man, I'm a seasoned stoner" or "I do dabs daily" All I know about pot, I learned growing into adolescence in the seventies. Don't let the cops find it!  ; - )

If there are any amazingly ambitious marijuana companies in the Denver area willing to give this wild startup girl a job, please contact me. Do know that I will blog about the company that hires me and I will be taking a ton of photo's. Posting on multiple social networks,and talking about the legal cannabis industry, will be my pleasure.

Everyday there has been one new job posting for a bud tender or other type of marijuana job on Craigslist. I apply to them. I wonder how many applicants they get for one ad? Probably hundreds.

*An interesting fact shared on the local news today: Colorado sold 148,000 pounds of marijuana in 2014. Now that's a market!
