Full job description
Who We Are
We are a company who employs veterans, family members of service members, first responders and patriots who believe in the benefits of cannabis. We are a fully licensed cannabis manufacture based in Sacramento CA. In 2010, the desire for new methods to consume cannabis was at an all-time high. The market was becoming saturated with low-quality and inconsistent cannabis products produced in unsafe garage operations. High quality products were overpriced and out of reach for most communities.
We established AmeriCanna with a simple vision: bring high-quality, consistent, and safe products to those who didn’t have access prior. Our inspiration laid in communities of workers on fixed incomes, in our brave veterans struggling with PTSD, and in anyone who has ever been concerned about their health and in the products they ingest.
We pride ourselves on delivering the finest Cannabis experience on the market without compromising an affordable budget. AmeriCanna seeks to expand the choices available to all Americans, and to demonstrate the greatest part of this country: our capability and willingness to help others.
