With legalization in CA for recreational purposes, it's considered polite to have your home bar stocked with these products for people who may not be drinking, so I see this as no different that a BevMo shop where I can stock up for parties!

And then there's the option that perhaps pot is simply stronger than it used to be, which also includes me telling you that it's stronger. Not dangerous. Not illegal. Just stronger than it used to be. I have no reason to say it's one way or the other.
How is anyone lining their pockets when they tell you take LESS of something?

I have been to a few in Colorado and I have sampled enough of their product to have a pretty good idea what is going on.

The fact that the marijuana sold at dispensaries is not sourced from drug lords in Colombia or Mexico is what makes it so appealing to many people. As one friend put it, the human cost of the illegal drug trade really makes American consumption of the product morally indefensible.

I had to do a double take to even figure out what the issue was here - and I literally laughed out loud at your question about qualified candidates. In the Pacific NW - where it's been legal for quite a long time, they would have absolutely NO problem. I get that it's "newer" in other areas of the country - but here in Seattle we have glossy commercial billboards that show beautiful models in forests talking about smoking and personal centering. We have yoga studios combined with herbal enhancement studios, where I think you are supposed to practice high. We have very pricey luxury spas promoting CBD Massages... It's not my personal drug of choice, but I know plenty of people who are very well written, cultured, accomplished, educated, communicators that also smoke pot.

OMG the choice of words Irene...Can't we say "Elevated lifestyle" or something? I promise NOT to get high until the shop is completed

In the states that have passed laws saying Recreational marijuana is legal (in the state so far but not legal by US laws) it may or may not be in the guidelines that you have to get a medical marijuana card. In my state of California before recreational was legal but medical uses were legal you did need to get a physician to approve you. I am pretty sure almost anyone could get approved by the same types of docs who give out disabled placards to anyone who pays a fee. I am pretty certain my regular gp would not just hand out cards to anyone who asks. So I would think for the states where only medical uses are legal the question you have to ask yourself before accepting this job, would be whether you are willing to go to one of those docs who will do this for money. Of course if you really have a medical need there would be nothing illegal about it. This job in those states would depend on how far you are willing to push your ethics.
I disagree - this isn't about ethics, and while your personal GP might not be willing to endorse it, plenty are. Comparing it to the shady practice of giving out disabled placards for those who do not need them in exchange for a fee is unfair and not accurate at all.
Washington State was similar to California in that before it was legalized for recreational use, those who wanted to purchase from a dispensary had to obtain a medical marijuana card. My mother obtained her card from for arthritis from her GP. There was nothing back alley or shady about it at all. This is the same GP she has been going to for years and whom she entrusts her care on a variety of ailments to.

I was not saying that people with medical issues had to go a shady route. I was saying that almost everyone could get a card via the shady route...lots of people in California who did not have an approved medical reason for a card went the shady route to get one. That is not to say there were also people who legitimately got a medical marijuana card. For every dispensary in my area there was a "doc" either at the place or right next door who gave out cards for a fee. Hucksters stood outside every shop stopping people and telling them the "doc" was in and all they needed to do was see the doc for a fee and then they would qualify. That was the shady part. That was equivalent to people going and getting a parking placard without the need. You personally may think that marijuana should be legal and therefore going to a shady doc to get your card is perfectly okay. I am just saying that it was unethical to some to get a card that way if you did not have a medical reason. And remains so in states that have not legalized recreational marijuana.

Technically I believe it's an herb?...similar to oregano. Can we enjoy the herbs of our labor?

I think there's pretty strong evidence that marijuana is not a gateway drug and it's probably time to stop shaming others for what it commercially legal in many places.
We have shops for cigarette and alcohol control. How could you not see shops for another controlled substance coming along eventually?
On top of stocking my bar, the assignment will help verify that controls are in place at these shops. It will ensure that they are clean, safe and legal environments. Anyone who's ever been involved in a bar or cigarette shop should understand that. This is what we do as mystery shoppers!
(as I self-confessed lifestyle shopper, I will probably be sampling the herbs of my labor, however)
P.S. That was for you, @sandyf
