Its not a bad day of job-hunting when you can tell your friends, Today I applied for a job working at Willie Nelsons weed company.
Sure enough, the country music legends cannabis business Willies Reserve is nearing its launch in Colorado and the marijuana company is currently hiring for five positions, a spokesperson confirmed to The Cannabist.
In past interviews, Nelson and his colleagues have said the Willies Reserve brand will operate from its own storefronts that look and feel like the anti-Walmart. But its been a while since Nelson and his team have addressed their plans, so its not yet clear if there will be an actual Willies Reserve storefront or if the Willies Reserve product line, like Snoop Doggs Leafs By Snoop line, will partner with existing state marijuana licenses to be sold in unrelated, already established pot shops.
The open Willies Reserve positions include production manager, extractor, compliance officer, bookkeeper and sales director.
Nelson and his colleagues first talked publicly about getting into the cannabis business at the 2015 South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.
(Nelson) wants it to be something thats reflective of his passion, Willies Reserves Michael Bowman told The Daily Beast last year. Ultimately, its his. But it was developed by his family, and their focus on environmental and social issues, and in particular this crazy war on drugs, and trying to be a bright light amongst this trail as were trying to extract ourselves from the goo of prohibition.
Its going to be very reflective of Willies life.
When journalist Dan Rather asked Nelson why he was getting into the legal marijuana business, the singers answer was typically renegade and holistic.
To prove a point, I think, Nelson told Rather. I felt like that if you really believe in something, why not promote it?
In the interview with Rather, Nelson talked about some of the earliest employees and supporters of Willies Reserve including some members of the lady-centric professional networking organization Women Grow.
Theres a bunch of gals up in Colorado that are running Willies Reserve we call them the high women, Nelson said with a laugh. But its like Womens Growers, I think, is their legal name. But theyre doing great work.
