Cannabusiness offers jobs to cannabis-convicts
By: Marylyn SimpsonMay 17, 2018
A marijuana conviction might not keep your from getting a job anymore — and it also might help you land a job at one of the fastest growing cannabis companies behind the ever popular “pre-roll” joints available in California.
“We value hard work and dedication,” said Lowell Herb Co. CEO David Elias, whose cannabis company is expanding and hiring.
“Now we’re putting a strong emphasis on employing people negatively impacted by cannabis incarceration and those whose lives have been affected by cannabis convictions on their records.”
Unlike some other state legalization models, Proposition 64 invited cannabis offenders back into the job pool and the industry.
Recent studies show that cannabis consumers have a better career record than people who drink alcohol.
Social equity prioritizes impacted communities
Through its trailblazing Social Equity and Reparative Justice Program, Lowell Herb gives special consideration to recently pardoned, non-violent cannabis offenders and will offer a wide spectrum of resources to individuals hoping to enter the cannabis space at various levels.
Elias described the ideal candidate as a motivated team member who will contribute to the day-to-day operations of the company in a dynamic way.
To get the word out to a wider audience, Lowell unveiled a billboard near the Men’s Central Jail and Twin Tower Correctional Facility (the sign is located on Daly St. north of Mission Road facing the 5 South Fwy.) announcing the jobs initiative and will be actively promoting the project on TV, radio, and online venues.
Variety of job options throughout the state
Lowell has career opportunities across various fields and levels of expertise such as package design, sales, marketing, distribution, shipping and customer service.
Most of the jobs will be in Los Angeles, but there are also openings in the Bay Area, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and San Diego.
In addition, Lowell and its coalition of brand and retail partners, will offer internship roles in each division of its operations. This structured approach to on-the-job training industry education and specialized career focus, will help propel interns to the next level when they enter the workforce.
Beginning later this year, Lowell will host a series of meet-up style workshops which will be open to the public and will offer panel discussions and intensive training sessions as a crash course introduction to participants hoping to obtain roles in the industry.
“It’s our priority to establish programs such as these to give motivated, bright individuals a second chance, and allow them to participate in this thriving industry” said Elias.
Social equity programs have become a cornerstone of some recent legalization proposals.
