10 Jobs That Pay $100K With Little Competition

Sometimes it seems that every job we apply for gets snatched up in a matter of hours. Even the ones that don’t come with great pay go quick when competitive company culture and benefits are on the table. But then there are those jobs that not only pay above six-figures, there is little competition to snag them. What is this sorcery? And more importantly, where do we find the gatekeeper?

Glassdoor put together a list of 10 of these types of jobs where, according to Glassdoor’s Economics Research Analyst Amanda Stansell, there is at least one job for every job seeker, per job title. Says Stansell:

While competition is lowest among medical positions requiring advanced degrees, there is still more than one job per job seeker searching for nurse practitioner and physician assistant roles.

Runner’s High: Cannabis-Infused Jogging Club In Denver

You know that tired trope about lazy stoners, couch-locked and eating sleeves of Oreos while watching SpongeBob SquarePants reruns? Please, for the love of God, put that in the dustbin of history. More and more cannabis consumers are marrying their love for herb with exercise.

A new club in Denver is taking this concept to a new level. The Runner’s High Run Club, as the group bills itself, will begin a weekly fun run beginning at the Native Roots Highlands.

“We’re really excited to create a new community for cannabis enthusiasts and runners to unite,” Stratos’ Kate Heckman said in a statement. “Whether it’s applying a cannabis salve to sore muscles, relaxing with cannabis after a run or using CBD to decrease inflammation after a long workout, cannabis can support athletic training in so many ways.”

According to the club’s Eventbrite posting:

Runner’s High Run Club is a first-of-its-kind club that will unite cannabis enthusiasts and runners. The club offers two routes to choose from: the Sativa route, 4.20 miles in length, and the Hybrid route, 2.10 miles in length.

Each week, participants will receive special offers from run club organizers, Stratos and Native Roots, and each run concludes with a post-run celebration with special discounts from Highland Tap and Burger.

For each completed run in the summer series, participants will receive exclusive day-of discounts from Stratos or Native Roots and a stamp in their Runner’s High Run Club log to earn prizes, discounted products, and special recognition for miles logged.

The Runner’s High Run Club will meet weekly every Thursday through the summer/fall, weather permitting.

The club makes it clear that “no public consumption of cannabis” is allowed during the event.

“Native Roots has a large number of patients and customers who maximize their workouts with cannabis, and we are thrilled to be able to offer an opportunity to bring them together with this run club,” says Sarah Larson, associate director of retail operations for Native Roots.

Quadron Cannatech Sells First High-Tech Mobile Extraction Module

Quadron Cannatech Sells First High-Tech Mobile Extraction Module

TLC Botanicals in Langley, B.C. purchased Quadron Cannatech’s first mobile extraction module recently and the new machine is set to revolutionize how pen extractions are done. Quadron’s units are “state-of-the-art modular, self-contained and fully portable extraction and processing laborator[ies],” according to a statement put out by the company.

A self-proclaimed holistic, family-oriented operation, TLC Botanicals provide medical cannabis to First Nation and conventional patients alike. They will be providing the extracts and pens to approved patients in Canada under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR).

The machine will be a dream come true for TLC and those to follow. Compact, portable and not to mention that it comes fully operational, these extraction modules are in line with the growth of the industry, where portable rosin presses have made a rise in the last few years and automated cannabis growing machines are becoming more popular, effective and affordable.

It also follows the trend of technology and industrial innovation that is booming in general. As we consider how to make things better, we look for efficiency, ease, earth safe practices and practical considerations such as affordability. Though the average citizen will not likely be buying a mobile extraction module anytime soon, it will quickly become a viable option for smaller businesses that want to make their own cartridges if it isn’t already.

Rosy Mondin, CEO of Quadron stated, “Through innovative engineering, and by leveraging our extraction and processing knowledge and expertise, we’ve designed a turn-key, drop in place, fully-functioning extraction environment. The end-result is a processing solution that serves a growing demand within the cannabis industry, enabling participants to process plants for terpenes and other cannabis compounds in a safe and professional setting.”

This extraction method is thought to not only be much safer than CO2 extractions, but healthier and more flavor-rich experiences. And you know the old saying, if you want something done right… Well making extractions in this type of controlled setting isn’t just safer, it gives you the control over the quality and potency of product, and that’s something to be proud of in the end game.

How Ben Jealous And Dave Chappelle Are Fighting For Weed Legalization

How Ben Jealous And Dave Chappelle Are Fighting For Weed Legalization

If the name Benjamin Jealous doesn’t ring a bell, he was originally known as Dave Chappelle’s bodyguard and god-brother, and served as the President and CEO of the NAACP from 2008-12 — the youngest person to ever fill the position. Now, he’s running for Maryland governor and is very serious about legalizing marijuana. Polls indicate Jealous has a slight lead over fellow Democratic nominees ahead of the June 26 primaries.

But Jealous recently revealed to Marijuana Moment how an early conversation with Chappelle shaped his views on marijuana legalization.

Via Marijuana Moment:

We were young and we were 20 years old in Mississippi. And Dave had come down there. I was organizing to stop a governor from turning a black college into a prison, and I was stressed out because Dave wanted to fire up a joint, and I didn’t want to go to jail in Mississippi. Dave was like ‘well, this shit should be legal,’ and I was like, ‘yeah, but it’s not.’ That was basically the conversation.

And then it was just an ongoing conversation about the history of marijuana enforcement—the way it was targeted at our community and Latino communities, and that just sort of opened my eyes. And that led me as president of the NAACP pushing for decriminalization in a number of states and cities. That’s ultimately where that conversation led. Dave was the one who really first talked to me about the way in which marijuana enforcement had been targeted at our communities. It just so happened that that day in Mississippi, the stakes were so high, I wasn’t really having it.

Jealous also hasn’t been shy about utilizing celebrity supporters on the campaign trail. In fact, he’s recently turned to Chappelle to appear beside him during TV interviews. While discussing marijuana on MSNBC, Chappelle added his positions on federally legalizing marijuana.

“I look at the legalization of marijuana as an inevitability nationally, not just in the state of Maryland,” Chappelle said. “I’m sure there is a gross disparity in the enforcement of drug laws in general in the United States.”

Bark-Based CBD Cafe Opens Oregon

Bark-Based CBD Cafe Opens Oregon

Portland, never one to be left behind when it comes to opening new coffee shops, is the proud recipient of its very first CBD cafe.

Grön (pronounced ‘Groon’), which has been making edibles for three years, is  now serving hot drinks, caramel sauces and chocolate containing non-cannabis based CBD. Instead, the CBD they use in their products is extracted from citrus peels and the bark of trees in Southeast Asia. That means state regulators have no jurisdiction over their sales.

“We’re able to actually go out to the public with this product because it’s not from cannabis or hemp. We can do public medicated samples and people can try it for themselves,” James Sharinghousen, Gron’s event coordinator, told KATU TV.

It also means they have a good chance of attracting new customers who would otherwise be too afraid of the stigma of pot.

According to KATU, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has no plans to try and regulate the cafe, though, according to Grön’s operations manager, Jenna Rice, “That’s not to say somebody couldn’t come in tomorrow and tell us something different. We’re definitely aware that could happen.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkBs6bHBzH8/?taken-by=groncbd

Most state-regulated shops selling CBD have a 21 and over age restriction, but Grön allows everyone, so says Green Rush Daily, which adds:

And while it’s unclear whether or not Grön’s bark-based CBD contains the exact same clinically-studied effects as regular CBD, owner Christine Smith does claim there is a small difference—she says her CBD has effects similar to aspirin. She feels like it makes her energetic but not sleepy.

As KATU reports, Oregonians could soon see more CBD products as the OLCC is expected to adopt some new rules over the summer pertaining to growing CBD-rich hemp.

 

Meme Of The Week: ‘The Most Successful People I’ve Ever Met’

Meme Of The Week: ‘The Most Successful People I’ve Ever Met’

Success is a hard thing to measure. The term usually brings up images of inventors or billionaires who run amazing businesses and have conquered all of their dreams; at least, to the eyes of the world. Success is something that everyone aspires to have, and for that reason there are millions of self help books that try to get people to that point, claiming that these are the definitive traits that all successful people have.

Then there’s social media, where, for some strange reason, people love to give out advice on how to be great and  achieve your dreams and glory, no matter your credentials.

This tweet from Twitter user Pomp – let’s try to avoid commenting on the handle – has become a big meme, because his advice on being successful is kind of dumb but mostly hilarious.

Pomp claims that successful people “have laser focus,” and “constantly work to improve,” which might be true, but is also incredible vague and not helpful. The post has produced over 6,000 retweets and 1,000 comments. Most of these are memes.

While some users took the route of proving why this advice is wrong by starting a fight, others decided to be more fun, taking the first part of the tweet and adding random things such as the lyrics to a song or parts of a movie that prove that success is mostly random. Also, that this is the Internet and nothing should be taken this seriously. Check out some of the best reactions:

This American Cafe Just Debuted CBD-Infused Ice Cream

This American Cafe Just Debuted CBD-Infused Ice Cream

Yet another sign of the times, now cannabis is making its way into ice cream shops. It’s not the biggest leap; cannabis infused ice cream has been around for a long time, but having it at a mainstream hotspot in Ashville, North Carolina is a true tell. Marijuana is simply part of our culture now, all the way to down-home, local sweets.

Hop Ice Cream Cafe is set to debut the CBD oil infused ice cream on June 29, during a wellness night being held at the creamery. It will be available in all three of their locations and the owners are pretty excited about it.

“We actually steep the hemp flower buds in the ice cream, and it does give it a little bit of the, like, dank hempy smell and flavor. But it’s really delicious,” Ashley Garrison, co-owner of the shop along with Greg Garrison, told WLOS.

Aside from the anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, pain reducing properties of the CBD found in the very low-THC hemp plants, because the two are using CBD oil in particular, made with premium ingredients, good fats, antioxidants and minerals are in the mix, making this one dish of ice cream that has absolutely no regrets.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjz4FfLhcDf/?taken-by=hopicecream

CBD has gained enormous popularity over the last several years and is being infused into everything from the Garrisons’ ice cream to gourmet coffees to popcorn and pretty much anything that is able to be infiltrated. Because CBD on its own is legal to possess and distribute as long as it has less than three percent THC along with it, it is available across the U.S. and is the only cannabinoid option for people living in states that are still under the laws of prohibition.

Ice cream infused with CBD is an innovative way to get some medicine into your body in a flavorful, refreshing way. It may be just the thing to quell any afternoon anxieties. But it is important to remember that CBD seems to work best when combined with a slightly higher amount of THC. The cannabis plant itself, in most cases, is a holistic healer with all of its moving parts working in conjunction with one another.

Our bodies are literally riddled with cannabinoid receptors just waiting to eat up whatever cannabinoids you’re able to feed them, though, and if there were a CBD ice cream cafe on my corner, I’d certainly be there for the release, and likely be back often and gratefully.

Spotify Releases Playlists For Each Queer Eye Guy

One of the coolest things about Spotify is how it markets the world’s most popular TV shows by making playlists for our favorite characters and designing algorithms that decide if your musical taste is the same as, say,  Jon Snow’s. And OMG now Spotify releases playlists for each Queer Eye guy!

Spotify has done this several times, with “Game Of Thrones”, “Stranger Things”, and now with “Queer Eye”. These playlists allow you to get into the psyche of these characters and people, even though the characters from “Game Of Thrones” probably don’t have a lot of time to listen to Kanye. Spotify marketing doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s very fun.

With “Queer Eye”, Spotify has partnered with the cast to curate some playlists to get you in the mood for ugly crying, while watching these guys fix sad apartments along with the self-esteem of people who really need it. You won’t get new clothes or beauty tips, but at least you’ll get some awesome workout music.

To use this feature, you must visit this link, where a plug-in will prompt you: “Which of the fab five do you listen like?” It sounds confusing, but it really isn’t. After you sign in, the website will provide an answer, and you’ll figure out which of the fab five has the same musical tastes as you. When you get your answer, your guy will pop up onscreen and explain why they love that type of music. You can then click on “Listen to Playlist,” where you’ll get to see their entire song selection.

“Queer Eye” returns for it’s second season on Netflix tonight (June 15).

New Study Claims Millennials Prefer To Drink At Home

New Study Claims Millennials Prefer To Drink At Home

Joining the list of articles professing that Millennials are ruining the world is this new study, announcing that 28 percent of this demographic prefers to drink at home instead of going out. “From dating through apps and online shopping to working from home, it seems Millennials prefer to do nearly everything from the comfort of their couch,” reads the sermon-like opening paragraph.

The article, published in Mintel, compares these results from Millennials with other generations, such as Baby Boomers (ages 54 to 72), who prefer to party it up. Only 15 percent of them believe that drinking somewhere besides home takes too much effort.  But then again, Baby Boomers are older and on average make more money and have better jobs.

The stay at home trend is affecting all of America, where 55 percent of the population agrees that yes, going out is tiring and takes a whole lot of effort. In-home drinkers believe that staying in is more relaxing, cheaper and personal, and that it also helps them keep tabs on how much alcohol they consume. The study claims that bars and restaurants are going to have to step up their game and take these stats into consideration, finding creative ways to lure Millennials into their establishments. An analyst suggests creating “‘Instagramable’ pop culture pop-up bars.”

While these stats are interesting for people to know, and something that restaurant and business owners should definitely take into account, it would be nice if news outlets could cut Millennials some slack.

Maybe, instead of focusing on the fact that Millennials are couch potatoes who only enjoy Netflix and avocados, the article should also mention the poor economy and the fact that some of these people are not making enough money. Or that they have tons of student loans, and prefer to do something else with their $14 instead of having one drink that they could make at home. Just a thought.

Congressional Committee Blocks Marijuana Banking Measure

Congressional Committee Blocks Marijuana Banking Measure

A measure that would have protected banks from federal regulators when dealing with marijuana-related business has been rejected.

On Wednesday, the House Appropriations Committee defeated the Safe Banking Amendment offered by Congressman Dave Joyce (R-OH).

Before the vote, Joyce said that the issue is “not whether or not one approves of marijuana. This is about public safety and financial transparency.”

According to NORML:

The defeat of the Safe Banking Amendment was not a vote about marijuana, but rather it was about normalizing a nascent industry that serves hundreds-of-thousands of customers in the majority of US states where cannabis is currently regulated. Once these companies have an easier time conducting their day-to-day operations, then they should be willing to offer more consumer-friendly prices instead of inflating them at the point of sale to cover backend costs associated with operating as an all-cash business.

Currently, hundreds of state-legal, licensed, and regulated businesses do not have access to the banking industry and are unable to accept credit cards, deposit revenues, or write checks to meet payroll or pay taxes. This situation is untenable. No industry can operate safely, transparently, or effectively without access to banks or other financial institutions.

Earlier this week, the Fraternal Order of Police urged House lawmakers to reject the cannabis banking move:

It’s now up to congress to adopt some sort of federal policy to allow these law-abiding businesses (and their consumers) to operate just like any other commercial business.
