It is my good fortune to live within sight of a farm supply store, it's literally a 30 second walk from my place. This past year, I'm guessing in large part due to Oregon's legalization, the traditionally conservative store owners have installed a respectable horticultural section to their store. Nutrients, soil, pesticides, amendments, etc, all the goodies you need for outdoor growing. They even have a large display of used grow lights, hoods, ballasts and bulbs right when you walk in. By all appearances, they're supportive of cannabis, or at least scrambling to stay afloat by adapting to the public's perceived need.
The other day, I heard they were looking for a little help, once a week. I went in and spoke with the owner and was told indeed, they need somebody for about four hours a week. Hardly a career for me, but a nice fit at the moment. Then I talked to the manager, and was told that to work there, I'd have to pee in a cup first! Really!? Let me get this straight - weed is now legal here, the store is selling products to enable weed growers, they will benefit from having somebody who understands growing - but I can't have THC in my system? Surreal!
I want the job, but I don't see not smoking for it, it's not like its a 6 figure salary worth cleaning up for.
