Grow Technician
Golden Meds Dispensary
06.2017 - 05.2018
- I worked for Golden Meds as a grow technician for approximately 11 months.

- While working here I had a small role in the operation as I would work in a trim crew pruning dried cannabis.
- It was a great opportunity to to start my Colorado life with this company and learn alot about an industry.
- I expected to be involved in the cannabis industry for the long haul but as the trends started shifting I knew it would be tough to get established without a ton of capital and the hoops that these owners and management have to go through just didn't seem worth it.
- As a result I noticed alot of owners getting out.
