710 Labs

I was told to roll 500 joints in two days. I had experience with cannabis and rolling joints, but never sat down at a table and tried to make a lot of money.

They were happy with what I provided. I was very excited when 710 Labs offered me a full time position. It is a great job.

For the past four years, I've been doing this. Brad Melshenker reached out to me after he remembered I could roll a good joint.

Pre-rolled joints had a bad reputation and he wanted to change that. They were trying to do something.

I started rolling joints for them. We have a group of seven people.

Being a professional joint roller is something I could do for a living if I wanted to.

I try to roll up to 300 joints on a daily basis. At this point in time, my process is very strong for me. I can roll at least 60 joints an hour.

I have a different technique to most people. Most rollers use a freehand technique where they hold it above the table and form it with their fingers. I prefer to roll on a table, so the joint never comes off it. It's similar to the way sushi would be rolled.

There are joints on a table. The labs are called 710.

The rotini pasta is used as the roach. We just snap it in half and use the favorable end as the mouth for the smoke. It gives a great structure to the joint as it is rigid and nice to hold on to, instead of being made from cardboard.

Over the years, I've worked in restaurants, hotels, tourism, and home improvement. Being a joint roller is the best job I've ever had.

When searching for new joint rolling technicians, we do a practical evaluation. We want people who are proud of their ability to make a quality joint. Our entry-level joint roller technician starts at about $20 an hour with full benefits and is part of our career path. The hourly rate of pay has been verified by theInsider.

You should have experience with cannabis. If you love cannabis, it makes the job easier and more enjoyable. The only requirement is that you can craft a joint at a reasonable speed. It's not possible to take all day to roll one joint.

There is a difference between being a professional joint roller and a recreational roller.

I usually lick it closed at home. We don't use saliva for sanitary reasons. Q-tips with distilled water are used.

The work environment is good. A group of people with a love for cannabis are doing what they love. There is a vibe.
