A series of new job listings are seeking experienced cannabis consumers in states across the U.S. to sample and review marijuana products. The gigs—with full-time, part-time and contract work available, the postings say—require good writing and photography skills.
Toker’s Guide, which already offers an online directory of dispensaries in several jurisdictions, said in a series of geographic-based job posts on Indeed that it’s looking for “cannabis connoisseurs who think they have what it takes to join our ranks as a reviewer” of legal marijuana products.
Responsibilities include investigating and researching “various characteristics” of products, writing “amazing reviews” and taking “excellent pictures of cannabis” as well as collaborating with team members to improve the site’s reviews overall. Applicants must be 21 or older.
The new positions are based in Florida, Maryland, New York, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
While mostly remote, the positions do require some travel to pick up deliveries, the job descriptions say. The Florida-based positions also require having medical cannabis patient cards because recreational marijuana is not yet legal in the state.
Pay for the work isn’t listed, but Tokers Guide founder Matt Green said pay is “commensurate with experience,” according to the Miami New Times, which first reported on one of the local job openings. Green said the company is expanding into Florida, planning for “big growth” next year in South Florida, Tampa and Jacksonville.
Only medical marijuana is currently legal in Florida, with voters in November narrowly rejecting a ballot measure that would have legalized adult-use cannabis. Amendment 3 ultimately failed to reach the state’s 60 percent threshold for passage, even though it won a majority of the vote.
Major cannabis companies and individual donors had collectively contributed more than $150 million to get legalization enacted into law in the Sunshine State. The multi-state cannabis operator Trulieve, which operates medical dispensaries across the state, provided the lion’s share of financing for the campaign.
As marijuana prohibition has waned across the country, there’s been a rise in moneymaking opportunities that may have seemed unusual just a decade or two ago.
For example, earlier this year, the rolling paper company DaySavers announced they’d pay $4.20 to volunteers willing to smoke two free pre-rolled joints and provide feedback on their smokability.
The study results, the company said, would be shared with the cannabis team at the standards organization ASTM International, which last year helped to add a pair of new marijuana items to a federal handbook that are meant to provide model standards for cannabis definitions, packaging and labeling requirements and best storage practices to control for moisture loss in marijuana flower.
DaySavers separately launched a campaign in March to hire for what it calls the “ultimate stoner dream job,” seeking a content creator to “get paid to smoke weed.” The full-time social media creator and event marketer job pays $70,420 with perks including cannabis product testing and all expenses paid travel to marijuana events.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has also previously solicited help to “acquire, develop and produce” marijuana cigarettes for research purposes. In October, NIDA put out another call seeking contractors capable of rolling thousands of joints for federally approved research purposes.
Outside government channels, some other clients have also offered to pay people for rolling joints–for example Snoop Dogg, who said several years ago that he pays someone $40,000 to $50,000 per year to have blunts readily available.
Comedian Seth Rogen confirmed at the time that he had watched the employee in actions during sessions with Snoop. “He knows how to gauge the look on somebody’s face when it seems like they want a blunt, and if they do, he gives you one,” Rogen said.
