How to Get a Job in the Cannabis Industry
by JARS | December 11, 2024
If you’re like the 55% of Americans that are looking for a new job, you might want to check out the thriving cannabis market. Whether you want an entry-level position as a delivery driver or want to become part of the c-suite of a new flower brand, there are opportunities for nearly every type of skill level in this relatively new industry. And if you love weed, which we’re assuming you do since you’re here, there’s nothing better than getting to work around your favorite plant from day to day.
Have we got your attention? Good. Read on as we answer all your questions about how to get a job in the cannabis industry.
Do I need experience to get a job in the marijuana industry?
Like many jobs outside of the wacky world of weed, you do need some job experience. However, it doesn’t have to be directly linked to cannabis in order for you to get hired. Of course, this varies from job to job, but don’t feel like you don’t have a chance if you’ve worked with weed before.
Things your future employers might be looking for include:
Transferable Work Experience
Let’s say you want to be a graphic designer for a local cannabis retailer—then you have to show your experience as a graphic designer. It doesn’t matter if you’ve worked with weed before, what matters is your skillset. Let’s say you want to be a delivery driver. Have you worked for a rideshare company or delivered pizzas? Then that is transferable work experience. Whatever role you want, you just have to show that you’ve done something similar before or are willing to learn something new.
Dependability
If your resume is all over the place and you’ve bounced from job to job, that may be a red flag. The cannabis industry can be fickle so your potential new boss wants to feel as though you’re going to stick around even when the industry fluctuates. Punctuality Being on time is kind of the bare minimum, dude. Employers can often forgive a lack of experience if you show up on time and are ready to work. And stoners are notoriously bad with time management, so if you respect the time of your coworkers, it can go a long way in setting you apart from the pack. Passion Having excitement and passion for cannabis can also help you in your pursuit of employment. Don’t fake your resume or anything silly like that to get the job, just be genuine about your love for the plant and be yourself. If you’re truly passionate about getting into this industry, you’ll get what you want in one way or another. And one more thing about experience: While we don’t suggest leading with this right out the gate, having illicit market experience is not necessarily a bad thing. Many of us have partaken in weed before it was legal so we get it. If you feel strongly that you’ve had some, shall we say, “under the table” experience that might be relevant or helpful for your case, explain it in the best light possible and you never know what might happen. You know what they say: A closed mouth don’t get fed. So ask! Spread the word that you’re looking for a job or talk to your pals that already work in the industry. You can also search for industry events in your area to network in person. Being that weed is now legal in a large part of the country, you can also use more conventional job search methods like Indeed, LinkedIn, or Zip Recruiter. With these search engines, you can typically narrow your search by location, job title, pay, and more. Then, all you have to do is submit your resume and any other required documents for the position. Keep in mind that no matter what avenue you choose, persistence is your friend. It may take some time to find the right job at the right time but just keep at it. Eventually, the stars will align. One of the most popular entry-level jobs is to work for a retailer like JARS. Whether you want to be a budtender, a manager, or something in between, all you need to do is apply. If you have a specific place in mind, go inside and ask for an application. Come prepared to have an interview on the spot just in case management has time that day. And if they don’t, it’s always smart to put your best foot forward. Before you being your search there is a good deal of red tape that you’ll want to consider. First, make sure that weed is legal in your state and note whether it is recreationally legal, medically legal, or both. This may help inform what kinds of jobs you’re looking for or what to expect. Other considerations include: Must be 21 or over Must be willing to undergo a background check Must have reliable transportation (even if its your legs or a bike) The world is your oyster. Do your research, follow these tips, and persistently put your best foot forward, and you’ll find your dream job before you know it.How do I find a job in the cannabis industry?

Green Muse: How A Plant Has Inspired Creatives for Generations
Welcome to JARS Cannabis, where we're all about discovering your highest self! Today, we're diving deep into the dank world of cannabis culture and how it's inspired some of the most legendary creatives of all time.
From Bob Marley to Snoop Dogg, we're talking about the masters who've used the green stuff to get their creative juices flowing. But we're not just looking to the past – we're here to explore how weed is shaping the art world of today and tomorrow. So pack a bowl, light it up, and get ready to take a trip through the groovy world of cannabis-inspired art. This is gonna be one high you won't forget!
Cannabis as a Muse for Creatives Throughout History
Cannabis has been a fixture in the creative world for centuries. The ancient Greeks were known to use cannabis to inspire their poetry and art, and the Romantic poets of the 19th century were also fans of the plant. It was believed that Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote his famous poem "Kubla Khan" under the influence of opium, which he used to combat his chronic pain. However, some literary critics speculate that cannabis could have been the real culprit behind his inspiration.
Famous Writers and Artists Who Used Cannabis for Inspiration
Now onto the beatniks of the 1950s and 60s. This group of artists and writers was known for their drug experimentation and rejection of societal norms. Many of the beatniks were fond of cannabis, and it's said that the infamous beatnik author, Jack Kerouac, wrote his most famous work, "On the Road," while high. We can't confirm or deny this, but we know that cannabis has been used as a tool for creative inspiration for a long time.
Musicians Who Turned to Cannabis to Get Their Creative Juices Flowing
But it's not just writers who have turned to weed for inspiration. Musicians have also been known to use cannabis to get their creative juices flowing. Jazz legend, Louis Armstrong, was a massive fan of the plant, and he once said, "It makes you feel good, man."
Bob Marley is another musician who famously loved cannabis. He's said to have smoked a pound of weed per week! And of course, we can't forget about the Beatles. Their song "Got to Get You into My Life" is believed to be a tribute to their love of cannabis.
Everyday People Inspired by Cannabis to Create Art
Cannabis has long been associated with inspiring creativity, and many artists have used the plant to unlock their imaginations. While some of our dispensary walls showcase local artwork created by artists inspired by their cannabis experiences, there are also notable artists across the US who are known to use or be inspired by the plant in their creative process. From Pablo Picasso to Vincent Gordon, these artists have created stunning works that showcase the plant's ability to enhance creativity.
How Cannabis Enhances Creativity and Focus
So, how does cannabis inspire creativity? Well, the THC in the plant can help to lower inhibitions and allow for freer thinking. It can also help to enhance sensory experiences, making things like music and art more vibrant and exciting. And let's remember the way it can help with focus and concentration. Many people find that cannabis allows them to enter a flow state where they can focus intently on their creative pursuits without getting distracted.
Finding the Right Cannabis Strain for Your Creative Goals
So, how can you tap into your creative potential with cannabis? Well, the first step is to find the right strain. Different strains of cannabis can have other effects, so choosing one that will help you achieve your creative goals is essential. For example, a strain like Blue Dream might be a good choice if you want to relax and get in the zone. If you're looking for a burst of energy and creativity, a strain like Sour Diesel might be more up your alley.
Setting the Mood for a Productive and Creative Session with Cannabis
Once you've found the right strain, setting the mood is important. Whether you prefer to work in silence or with music playing, create an environment that will help you focus and get into a creative mindset. And, of course, make sure you have plenty of snacks for when the munchies strike!
