DEA looking for someone to burn 1,000 pounds of marijuana every hour

(CNN) — The Drug Enforcement Administration has been inundated with calls after a recent job posting.

The position? Burning marijuana.

“We dispose and burn a number of drugs marijuana methamphetamines prescription pills,“ said DEA special agent Sammy Parks.

Now, the agency is looking for a vendor who can burn 1,000 pounds of pot bundles each hour for at least eight hours a day. 

“It targets a facility that is well established, licensed, meets EPA requirements. This is not something a private citizen can do dispose of evidence,“ Parks said.

Whoever gets the job would have to destroy marijuana, meth, cocaine and expired prescriptions confiscated during drug take-back events along with other substances. You must also move to Texas for the gig.

“Every two years a solicitation goes out for a vendor.“

The contract would end in September.
