Most states have a zero tolerance policy for felons in the cannabis industry.
Under the table? Sure. But that would require you to know someone already in the business. Looks like you might need to take a step back and re-evaluate.
Some strains are just not very strong smelling. Great for discreet grows. But once you get used to that skunk punching you in the face, it does seem like a let down.
Is the quality sub-par as well? That's what really matters to me.
Look on job websites. Any legal state has tons of openings for PT or FT bud tenders. Like i said, you aren't going to make a killing. Some bud tenders only make $9-$10/hr. Might not be what you were hoping for, but that's were you start.
