You could make up to $120,000 a year as the state’s director of cannabis. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that a drug test isn’t required, either.
Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried announced she would create the new director of cannabis position under the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services earlier this month. According to the Sun Sentinel, 17 people have submitted applications for the job, including a former Hooters assistant manager with ties to Tampa Bay.
The newspaper goes on to say that the director of cannabis will be responsible for “developing Florida’s hemp industry and implementing rules on edibles for medical marijuana patients.”
Fried spokeswoman Franco Ripple says the Agriculture Commissioner expects to fill the position in the next few weeks.
