What are the responsibilities and job description for the Harvest Associate - Job ID 517072 position at DCM Inc?
To most growers, the flower they harvest is the end of the road. For us, it's just the beginning.
Our mission is to grow more than the world's best Cannabis. We're growing a better world. One that's more caring, compassionate, understanding, and informed.
Behind our every Sour Diesel, Gelato Cake, and Cherry Chem Flower is something bigger: our mission to create meaningful, positive change in the world.
To fight for equality within the industry and society. To give those in need access to the medicine they require. To change perceptions about this miraculous plant and the power it contains. To soothe and heal, without hurting our Mother Earth.
Every day we learn a bit more about the unlimited potential cannabis holds, and there's nothing we like more than sharing it with you. Because to us, cannabis is much more than a plant; it's our chance to change the world, one person, one patient, one policy at a time.
