Ah my bad, I misread the situation. You can definitely get in the industry that way. I've been offered jobs as a trimmer at mmj dispensaries before. That's how majority get started -- getting paid minimum wage as a trimmer, then you can work your way up to being a budtender, etc. I am not sure on the recreational side of the industry, but I know with the MMJ side you have to get your Badge up in Denver or the Springs before you can work at a dispensary.Im not looking to own and opperate my own business im looking more for employment opportunitys. Carrers as a trimmer,grower,edibal work And so on. I just dont know what those in the industry took as first steps into these feilds.
