Taxi driver, logger, coal miner, reporter (yikes), and corrections officer are some of the worst jobs in 2018. For many different reasons from pay to satisfaction these jobs, well, suck. But what does this have to do with weed? Well, though these are some not-so-awesome jobs to have in 2018, this is the year humanity might have found the most amazing job ever.
It turned up in our neighbor of the north, Canada. Recently Canada decided to move progressively and fully legalize weed across their country. On October 17th the new order will go into place so people, companies and organizations have been working hard to get ready.

Stoners across the country are most likely rejoicing over the fact that they can now enjoy their favorite hobby legally. But thanks to one company, it turns out that smoking a ton of weed all the time and knowing your whats-what around the plant can be incredibly lucrative. So much for the lazy stoner stereotype, if you consider yourself an “expert-level connoisseurs” then the AHLOT company in Toronto wants you. Not only does the company want you, it’s willing to pay experts in cannabis 50 dollars an hour (yes, really) to sample and evaluate weed.

The job weed enthusiasts will have to do is actually pretty extensive though, they will really have to test if they know their weed. They will have to use the products and report on the “visual, factory, and tactile examination of samples,” as well as write social media posts, appear in video segments, and attend AHLOT events. This will not be a walk in the park though, as AHLOT is really looking for the best of the best. The company is only looking for six people to take on this task of testing and reporting on marijuana they use. The job application is much more complicated than applying at your local McDonalds. The application asks what a tricome is, what the ideal temperature to vape and evaluate “terpenoid profiles,” and even write why you should be chosen. So now instead of being that lazy, no life-having, stoner person, you can be a certified scientist of marijuana testing.
This job will continue to legitimize marijuana and it’s community as marijuana legalization sweeps across Canada, there have been food critics, movie critics, booze critics and now, weed critics. These people will do a good job in making sure the strains given out to people are safe, and not too over absorbing, as well is all around likeable. Soon the average stoner can step out of the counter culture role they’ve been in an contribute to the greater good of society. Yeah, that’ll show the people who said they weren’t successful.
