With marijuana now being legal recreationally in Nevada, it's fair to say that there will be jobs to be had.

Is anybody here trying to get into the industry? I've heard master growers can make well over 6-figures. I know it's probably a resume killer, but when you're making that kind of money....who cares.

You'll need to pass a drug test.

Wouldn't that be hilarious?


The growers tend to use the product to test it out. The best growers tend to be people that are passionate about using marijuana so to require drug tests would just kill the field, literally.

Like the government trying to employ hackers but can't because they require drug tests and hackers love weed.

Now that was funny! I have been reading about attempts to come up with a DUI equivalent for pot but they are having a hard time because it stays in your system way after the high is gone. The test they are trying out landed a woman in jail in Kansas City because she was a cancer patient prescribed synthetic THC by her doctor. Interesting times ahead.

A few months ago they said pot on June 1st and now it's July.

It seems you guys thought I was kidding...

This is predicted to be a $20 billion industry by 2020. I can't be the only one who sees the potential there.

Is anybody HERE already working in medical MJ? What's the best way to get your foot in the door?

Unless the feds decide they're actually going to enforce the law, and start lowering the boom on the illegal "legal" dispensaries.

^The feds know which side their bread is buttered on. There's too many votes, and too much tax dollars at stake for them to enforce.

I'd bet a pretty penny that marijuana is taken off schedule 1 within 5 years. Nothing Jeff Sessions can do about it haha...

I tend to agree that at some point the feds will give up on it. But until that happens, Sessions could shut down legal sales with one phone call.

Start growing your own strain, or apply at various companies dealing with weed. It absolutely is/will be a massive industry.

"Passing" a drug test could mean something a little different in this industry then it does in others currently.
