Dispensaries (i.e. retail shops), cultivators or manufacturers of THC infused edibles are examples of businesses that directly work with marijuana, a federally illicit drug. However, many businesses fall into a gray area including ancillary (e.g. a grow-light manufacturer) businesses, real estate leasing businesses, consumption device and consulting businesses among others.
In order to ensure compliance with federal law, Career Services will not promote internship or work opportunities at companies that may possess or come into contact with marijuana products. Additionally, Career Services will not host internships for credit where a student may come into contact with marijuana products (including work with a company鈥檚 clients, attendance at marijuana conventions, etc.).

If a student or alum reneges a job or internship offer from your company, contact cori.shaff@colorado.edu with the contact information for the student. The consequence for a student is an immediate block from Handshake until they meet with Cori Shaff, associate director of embedded career.
