My Personal Experience As a Bud Tender

Working as a Bud Tender in the corporate cannabis industry was a lot different than I thought it would be. I wanted to break into the industry as a Cannabis Sales Representative and decided that the best way for me to follow that path would be to work at a Medical Dispensary. I thought that it would be a great learning opportunity and a strong base for me to start with.

After working at the dispensary for a month I realized just how low leaning occupations like this could be. It was no different than what you'd find at your typical retail center. Cash registers, useless managers, bogus work schedules that weren't even organized, and even lazier coworkers. Working for the medical cannabis industry was by far one of the best ideas I've had in a long while. The only problem is working something as low on the food chain as a Budtender. Positions like that could really discourage those who are seeking to join the industry. The gig as a clinical account representative at the hospital was bad, but at least with that job, I didn't have to work on the weekends.

Imagine your weekend starting in the middle of the week; Wednesday and Thursday to be precise. If it confused me I'm sure it would confuse you too. Another issue I had with Budtender work was being blamed for messing up orders by a bunch of nonchalant managers and coworkers who buy from the store regularly thanks to their beloved 30% employee discounts on all store merchandise.

How is it that potheads are allowed to come to work in any condition but a nonsmoker isn't allowed to buy non-marijuana product merchandise?

That's like a Bartender being told they aren't allowed to buy a corkscrew opener because it's alcohol. The last thing I want to do is come off as if budtender work isn't the best job. It most definitely had its perks and I learned a lot about various cannabis companies and growers while working there.

Depending on the location and state you work at, your experience might be different from mine. The cannabis industry is vast, big, and booming. The amount of potential that comes from that line of work is even bigger in terms of opportunities and connections that can be made.

Working as a Budtender definitely helped me get my foot in the door. Ever since that time, I haven't been able to leave the industry. I keep coming back wanting to learn more and more about what the industry has to offer. Follow your dreams in a zig zag motion and you'll never know where you end up. Thank you.

Reviews by Pancho @ "Precolonial Black Africa" By Cheikh Anta Diop

Precolonial Black Africa 𓁃𓀠𓀢𓀧 This mid to large size book, originally written in French, gives readers a gateway into what Africa was like before the colonization. "Precolonial Black Africa" gives readers a detailed outlook on what life was like amongst the earliest Africans. The book sheds light on what the early Africans did for a living, how they saw each other, how they handled conflicts, how they conquered other lands, how they practiced religion, and a number of other things. Throughout the book, Cheikh Anta Diop divides the text into sections that focus on the different angles of political and social systems. For example, section 2 or II or the book goes into detail on what the socio-political status of Africa was at the time. Sections later on in the text talk about the education levels that was present during precolonial black Africa. The text is well rounded overall and makes the reader(me) feel like they're sitting in an exclusiv...

Covid-19 POV: Pilot Blog

T he STRONGEST pandemic of the 2020 decade. This was going to be an exciting year for EVERYONE! Leading up to January, talks of the town consisted of "I can't believe it's going to be a decade", "What was I doing in 2010??", "Wow a decade already??", and much more. I for 1 can say that I was very excited for 2020. When I was younger, I would lay around the TV on Friday evenings watching whatever it was that the news channel had to offer. Many times would I indulge in the show that was known as 2020 . From what I can remember, it was great stories of your everyday average people doing amazing things in life. The show covered lives both domestically in the U.S.A and globally around the world. One of the funniest episodes that aired was when this African guy was talking about how the Homosexuals in their country were enjoying the arts of fisting and eating feces from the anal area. The fact that people were doing that stuff wasn't the humorous ...

Reviews by Pancho @ "What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" By James Paul Gee. Chapter 7

🎮What Video Games Have to 🎲Teach Us About Learning and Literacy📙 In chapter 7, James Paul Gee discusses how online interactions through video games can help create a learning network for video game players. When video game players are able to communicate with each other worldwide, it causes people to learn new things or solve the trivia of a game as a group. The unified network of gamers can allow those who participate to submit their own ideas on the game. Certain abilities and cheat codes to the game can also be developed as people play within the network. One game that Gee uses to prove this principle is World of Warcraft, an online MMO and RPG game. The game has a huge audience with people from all around the world logging in to play daily. The author was able to experience on hand just how far playing within a network can help gamers progress through these types of games. He states “But video game players can be part of a powerful network if they so desire and know-ho...
