Massachusetts’ legalization of recreational marijuana has resulted in an unexpected job opportunity – an agricultural inspector for cannabis.

A job description posted on the state’s website says it’s seeking someone to enforce laws and regulations involving marijuana and hemp.

Necessary qualifications include a degree in a field such as biology, chemistry or plant pathology.

The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources also would like candidates to have experience with or knowledge about cannabis and how it’s regulated in other states as well as experience enforcing rules and regulations.
