It's nerve-racking to work in a marijuana distribution center — especially if it's in a state where the topic of medically-prescribed marijuana is at the legal forefront.
With conflicting laws and rulings, there's always a chance the federal government could raid your business at any time.
To see what it's like to work at a marijuana medical dispensary in one of those conflicting states — Washington — we turned to a popular "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit.
Q: Why did you start?
A: One of my best friends from high school opened it up and she needed some help around the place with paperwork, organization and deciphering legal jargon.
She is more of the creative/idea type, I'm more task-oriented. She trusts me, needed someone that was different than her to manage other things and needed someone who had the balls to be there and be straight up about the situation, with it being so risky.

Q: Were you or other employees allowed to buy or smoke?
A: Yes, we are allowed to buy to smoke, obviously not on the premises. I tried about every strain there at one time. We had up to 30 at once.

Q: How much do you mark up the product? Do you get a discount?
A: 50 percent.
There is not really a discount, they just throw it to me free of cost.
