About this book
Cannabis Careers: The Insider's Guide to a Budding Industry is a comprehensive resource for individuals interested in entering the rapidly growing cannabis industry. This book provides an accessible introduction to key cannabis topics, including history and culture, to equip readers with essential knowledge.
The cannabis industry is expanding rapidly in the U.S., with medical cannabis legal in 38 states and adult-use cannabis in 24 states. Public support for legalization is at an all-time high, and national legalization appears imminent. This burgeoning industry has already created over 400,000 full-time jobs, with projections valuing the industry at $72 billion by 2030. Beyond direct industry jobs, numerous ancillary positions are available in fields such as web design, consulting, accounting, real estate, and law, often outnumbering direct cannabis jobs.

It includes chapters on health and medical careers, education roles, nonprofit and government positions, and even unique opportunities in hospitality and tourism. Cannabis Careers serves as a practical guide for those looking to join this dynamic field, offering a blend of industry insight, practical advice, and resources to help readers successfully navigate and thrive in the cannabis industry.
