About this role
Green Thumb Industries is looking for a licensed pharmacist to oversee cannabis dispensing at their Christiansburg location, serving as the clinical and educational cornerstone of the operation. You'd manage product dispensation to medical patients, conduct thorough drug utilization reviews to assess therapy appropriateness and identify contraindications, and provide one-on-one counseling on dosage, strain selection, and cannabis properties. The role demands someone who can balance clinical rigor with retail operations—you'll verify patient certifications, communicate restrictions to the dispensary team, stay current on cannabis research, and drive both sales and patient retention.
Beyond patient-facing work, you'll handle operational tasks as needed, including inventory management, online order fulfillment, employee training, and point-of-sale systems. The position requires at least two years of pharmacy experience, a strong grasp of cannabinoid pharmacology and cannabis regulations, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. Prior cannabis industry experience is not required, though a genuine interest in alternative medicine and commitment to staying informed about the field is essential. You'll need to pass background checks and obtain state badging approval to work in the cannabis industry.
This full-time, in-office role offers a salary of $60–$64 per hour based on experience and qualifications, with potential eligibility for a discretionary annual incentive program. It's suited to a pharmacist seeking to apply clinical expertise in a growing sector while taking on meaningful patient education and operational responsibility.
