I was asked to roll 500 joints in two days as part of the application process. I had personal experience with cannabis and rolling joints, but never had I sat down at a table and tried to crank out hundreds at a time.
Whether you call it a blunt, joint, doobie, or zol, it's all the same when it comes down to crunch time on the job.
These technicians get paid approximately R355 a day for this niche skill.
About 300 joints are rolled a day at this full-time job.

Thomas shares that he wanted to change the bad reputation that pre-rolled joints had and offers a premium product using only the best material.
Thomas speaks on the company he works for called, 710 Labs: "So I started rolling joints for them and helped establish its joint rolling department. Now we're up to a team of seven people in total."
This technician is definitely on a roll with his success in this rare job.
Not only does the job pay well, but Thomas says: "The work atmosphere is great. It's a bunch of really great people with a love for cannabis doing what we love. It's a vibe."
Don't be remiss on cannabis, this could be the next big thing.
