So what's the score? Well there's a certain marijuana site that's willing to pay one lucky smoker $36,000 a year to review a variety of weed.
It turns out there's a lot of money in cannabis and I'm not talking about selling it. Even the King of Cannabis himself, Snoop Dogg, hires a full time blunt roller and pays him a gargantuan $50,000 a year. Oh. Boy.

Anyone who is anyone knows who Snoop Dogg is.

The California-born rapper and songwriter rose to fame as one of the best-known figures in gangsta rap in the 1990s and was, for many, the epitome of West Coast hip-hop culture.And, believe it or not...
Snoop isn't his real name. Would you believe it?! The rapper was actually born as Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. on October 20, 1971. It is thought that his "Snoop Dogg" nickname came from his mother because she thought he looked like Snoopy from the Peanuts cartoon. Throughout the years, he has been known as "Snoop Doggy Dogg" and "Snoop Lion."He was first put on the map after Dr. Dre discovered the budding young musician.
He first came to the attention of producer-rapper Dr. Dre, who featured him on his single Deep Cover and on his landmark album "The Chronic" in 1992.
Snoop’s prominent vocals on the hit singles Dre Day and Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang fueled his rapid ascent to stardom.
It was onwards and upwards from there.
Snoop's first album, the Dre-produced "Doggystyle" in 1993, climbed its way to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's hip-hop and Top 200 charts, based in part on the success of the singles Who Am I (What's My Name)? and Gin and Juice.
Yet, despite all his success...
Snoop has never been a stranger to criticism.Snoop's lyrics have often been slammed as sexist...
And many have branded the rapper as being offensive, misogynistic, and degrading towards women.
And he has been open about his past as a pimp...
In May 2013, the rapper told Rolling Stone that he had been a pimp in the early days of his career.
"As a kid, I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and b*tches to match. I said, '**** it - I'm finna do it.' I put an organization together," he said. "I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten b*tches on it. I could fire a bitch, **** a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program."
Oh, and he loves pot.
If it isn't his somewhat offensive music, Snoop is perhaps the most famous for his love of marijuana.Snoop is a strong advocate for the green stuff...
And regularly flaunts his lavish, pot-oriented lifestyle on his social media channels.Snoop is constantly high...
So he is very rarely seen without a blunt in his hand.I know what you're thinking...
Rolling all those blunts must take an awfully long time... Right?Wrong.
Because Snoop's too busy being a straight-up gangster to be sat around the house rolling blunts all day, he's hired someone to do it for him.Yep, a professional blunt roller. For Snoop Dogg.
I can't make this stuff up...Snoop opened up about his employee on The Howard Stern Show...

In which he was joined by fellow actor and pot-enthusiast, Seth Rogen.When quizzed on why he could possibly need a blunt roller...
via: Youtube
Snoop replied, quite nonchalantly, "I don't have time." The men all burst into laughter, and Rogen then seemed to conclude that he should get himself a blunt roller too.
He said: "Honestly, the amount of time I spend rolling joints, it might be worth my while financially to hire someone to do that."
And Seth had some warm words for this special member of staff.

Rogen heaped praise on the rapper's employee - who he had encountered when hanging with Snoop in the past - and said the guy had a knack of appearing with a blunt in hand at just the right time.I suppose timing is very important when Snoop's your boss...
Or when your boss is as hungry for pot as Snoop is.And Snoop seems to think quite warmly of his employee...

As he added: "Timing. That motherf***er's timing is impeccable. That's his J-O-B, his occupation. On his resumé, it says, 'What do you do?' 'I'm a blunt roller. P-B-R, professional blunt roller.'"And Snoop doesn't mess about when it comes to paychecks...
When Stern asked how much money Snoop's PBR earned, the rapper replied, "That's somewhere between $40,000 and $50,000 a year." Where do I sign up?!And he gets free pot.
Obviously.
He continued: "Free weed - all paid expenses. Everything I get, he gets. I go get some free clothes, I give him some."
Sounds like a decent gig, if you ask me...
So how can you get some cash?
Well unless you're a close acquaintance of Snoop Dogg, then chances are you won't be able to squeeze in on his cash.
But, the good news is there's one company looking for their own personal weed reviewer accompanied by a very attractive salary.
And if you've read this far well, you're probably exactly what they're looking for.
They're looking for someone to sample weed.

This is a full time job with a competitive wage. $36,000 to check out a variety of 'weed strains, edibles, and CBD oils', before sampling and reviewing them. Certainly sounds good to me.
They've reached out to Snoop.
Apparently the company has even reached out to Snoop Dogg to see if he's interested in doing a spot of work with them - so you could have some pretty exciting colleagues. Dwight Blake who is leading the search for the smoker explained:This job is 100 percent for real and it's an important job that includes more than just getting paid to smoke weed.
