Marijuana Dispensary Mystery Shops In Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska?

A new industry that is as highly regulated as the recreational or medical marijuana industry is certainly would benefit from mystery shoppers to ensure compliance with the numerous and mandatory regulations. Has anybody heard of Mystery Shops in the marijuana industry yet? If not, does anybody want to approach them together with me and we'll get rich! Just explain to them how much they will save in NOT paying fines because their Bud Tenders screwed up and allowed me (out of state person) to buy more than .25oz at once. I bet they pay dearly for mistakes like that. Mystery shoppers can keep them sharp and compliant......does anybody know of or has heard of anything going on in this new industry?

That's an interesting query. Would you want to be the mystery shopper known as the possible pothead, though? LOL I suppose it would help, though, if you revealed yourself at the end and the pot was taken back and refunded. Maybe there's some kind of law against refunds on pot, though?
I have seen shops posted on ISS and you need a medical card. I live in a state where recreational is legal.
If you do a search on this, you should find a recent discussion about a company that specializes in this industry.

Do you mind posting the name of the company? I did a search for "marijuana" and I couldn't find it. Thanks!
Google it. There is a large reputable MSC and several tiny start-ups that are shopping the cannabiz.
Measure Consumer Perspectives has this press release:"The prohibition at some point is going to end," Nasief said.(the CEO). That's why why Measure Consumer Perspectives has acquired 420 Intel Agency, a marijuana mystery shopping business in Colorado.
I also see a company called www.catchfirecx.com that specializes.
To the moderator: "Please do not post inquires like this there. This is being moved to a more appropriate part of the forum " I do not see why this is inappropriate-the business is entirely legal in the states doing these evaluations.

Mod note: If you read the mod's comments, you will see that it was stated this was first on the job board and why it was moved.

kathierost - I think that the thread was moved to here from somewhere that it was not to have been posted.
Also the term you want to use if you Google it is "Cannabis." , not "marijuana". That's the medical designation.

Rotflmao! Pot shops??? What's next, the strip clubs??? (Showing my age and turning into an old fogey.)
I live in WA state where pot is legal for recreational use. One platform I use is iSecretShop, have seen Catch Fire's contract to accept but I haven't accepted it. I haven't seen jobs for it but I also wasn't looking for them since I don't really like pot. I have been to the stores though with others, and they are just like any other store providing luxury items where you walk in, they provide customer service, have specialized product knowledge, specialty items (edibles, pipes, etc). I would equate it to going to a specialty wine or beer shop except it does smell like weed a little in there. grinning smiley And they card you when you walk in the door rather than when you buy. The pot is sold in pretty little packages and looks like something you might buy at Whole Foods lol. In fact I am just waiting for the law to open up a little more and for Whole Foods to start selling natural/organic pot hahahha.

On the topic of "seeming like a pothead" I can't speak for other places, but in Seattle, just going to the pot store is not going to brand you anything negative for anyone but the most conservative of people. People think of it as equal to or even milder a drug than alcohol. While it was just recently legalized, people have never thought of it as a major problem, people talk openly about whether or not they smoke or like pot, and there was a law that made it the "lowest law enforcement priority," basically making it legal for cops to look the other way unless there was a large amount or some other shenanigans going on (not an attorney but that's how I understood the law back then).

We actually had pretty strict alcohol laws in WA state up until a few years ago as well, with liquor being sold only in state run stores with limited hours (closing at 8 or 10 PM) and inventory (mainstream brands only) and people fought the repeal of that harder than they fought the marijuana legalization law. The only person I knew who was against the marijuana legalization law was a guy with a side hustle as a pot dealer haha (which was also as common, or perhaps much more common that knowing someone with a side hustle as a mystery shopper lol). There were commercials on TV basically implying that if liquor was sold in grocery stores, all the teenagers of the state were going to become rampant alcoholics and their futures would be ruined (because as you know, teenagers never drink alcohol as it is, lol). Meanwhile you would frequently see people smoking pot outside and no one doing one thing about it or even care. And all that happened after the grocery stores started carrying liquor was now you can get all kinds of specialty brands you couldn't get before and you can get it for more hours.

I see a shop sometimes for a casino but it's in a super sketch neighborhood and has no windows at all. I know casinos don't usually have a lot of windows, but this one doesn't even have one in the front door lol. Up until I saw it on the board, I always thought it was a strip club hahahahaha.
