The State of Colorado Needs a 'Marijuana Communication Specialist'

Yes, you read that right. For the third time.

This morning we learned–thanks to Chad Pollitt of Relevance–that the challenges arising from Colorado’s recent decision to legalize certain previously forbidden herbs include a pressing need for PR assistance.

How does one qualify for said position? And what responsibilities does it entail?

Those are, like, good questions…

First, note the “$3,834.00 – $5,475.00” salary range–and never let anyone tell you that drugs don’t pay well.

Now, about those specifics:

“This position works collaboratively with the Communications Unit, Marijuana Prevention Systems Coordinator, Marijuana Prevention Program Coordinator, and external marijuana subject matter experts to develop, implement and coordinate paid, earned and social media communications for the State’s marijuana prevention and awareness efforts.”
