Willie Nelson’s Willie’s Reserve Adds Jobs for Pot Operations

Famous country singer and pot smoker Willie Nelson has his own pot company.

The company is called Willie’s Reserve and was founded to “share, care, and toke.”

The five open positions are in Colorado, the first state to legalize marijuana.

The jobs are compliance officer, bookkeeper, production manager, sales director and extractor.

The compliance officer has to make sure Willie’s Reserve complies with local and federal laws.

The bookkeeper has to maintain financial records and use software like Quickbooks.

The production director will handle manufacturing, packaging and inventory

The sales director handles marketing strategy and runs a regional sales team.

The extraction director handles extraction equipment, purchasing and processing.

Nelson is the perfect front man for Willie’s Reserve, having been “on the road” smoking pot for years.

The company’s description of itself:

For decades, as Willie Nelson and his band traveled from town to town, pot enthusiasts flocked to his shows. They happily shared the bounty from their home gardens and local communities. Willie happily returned the favor.

Now WILLIE’S RESERVE™ pays tribute to a tradition of sharing, caring and toking. It’s as if the Red headed Stranger has offered an invitation aboard the Honeysuckle Rose to sample the choicest selections of his stash.
