The best way to chart a career in cannabis is to start by learning everything you can about the industry, and the best way to do that is by budtending. It’s not just an entry-level job; it’s a crash course in consumer demand, product diversity, and market dynamics. If you want to find your place in the cannabis industry, budtending is a great place to start.
