According to a recent Yahoo! Finance article, one company is looking for “Cannabis Effects Specialists” for $1,500 a month.
In order words, the company wants someone to smoke weed and get paid for each month.
FlowerAndFreedom.com, a cannabis news and advocacy website, is looking to hire 3 to 5 “Cannabis Effects Specialists” that would partake in a 30-day study on the effects of smoking marijuana.
Selected participants will receive $1,500 each.
According to the Yahoo article, David Rhodes, the owner of FlowerAndFreedom, uses the herb to treat his Crohn’s Disease. Rhodes explains that the purpose of this study is to help destigmatize and bring to light the day-to-day medicinal and recreational benefits of cannabis.
The study will take place over a course of 30 days. Each participant will be provided adequate cannabis to consume every 3 to 5 days.
The study will test multiple theories including the effect of cannabis on daily motivation, appetite and sleep cycles. Throughout the study, each participant will be expected to complete video calls with FlowerAndFreedom staff to talk about their experiences pertaining to the theory being tested.
“Some people will call me crazy for paying people to smoke weed, and maybe I am. But I have seen the positive effects of cannabis first hand and how it has improved my symptoms of Crohn’s Disease. If this study can convince even a handful of people that cannabis isn’t some evil drug that it was once portrayed as, I would consider it a success,” Rhodes told Benzinga.
The application is open to those who are 21 years and older, with no prior health conditions that might make it unsafe for them to be involved. They must also reside in areas where adult-use marijuana is legal.
