Interesting! So here's what makes me think so hard about this: All the experience that qualified him for his job was, for lack of a better term, in a "grey market" - what I mean by this is while the Medical System was established, due to it being officially still banned by the Federal Government, he was breaking the law. Not Colorado law. Federal "if you send this across state lines you are forever ruined" Law, right? Fate is cruel. There are, without a doubt, thousands of young men who are easily as qualified with the product, whom are locked behind bars. This is inefficient. You don't want Maureen "Serious Journalist Doesn't Take Marijuana Seriously" Dowd as an ambassador, you want an educated, intelligent person (in agreement with the article here). I've not got a lot more to add on this subject, other than I find it very, very strange that it was, relatively speaking, so easy to get the job. I have an actual writing degree, an advanced degree in education, and spent the first couple years of my life watching nearly every job posting reveal inflated expectations for qualifications and/or experience. That is a very real problem, so maybe I'm partially just grumbling that it was so easy for him, whereas getting a, you know, "real" white-collar job means the Secretary needs a Bachelors and minimum 5 years experience for a salary of $37,000 in a major metropolitan city. This may seem extreme (especially to STEM professionals) but it's genuinely true, and if it isn't a problem in your industry - or not debilitating - be vigilant so it does not.
