The cannabis industry added 400,000+ jobs in the last few years, but that's just the obvious stuff — dispensaries, grows, and delivery. The real wave is the jobs nobody talks about.

Here are 10 roles that are either explicitly 420-friendly or deeply embedded in cannabis culture:

1. Cannabis Compliance Officer — Every legal state needs people who understand the regs. $60-120K range.

2. Bud Photographer — Brands need studio-quality strain shots. Freelance rates hit $500+/session.

3. Extraction Technician — Lab work turning plant into product. Chemistry background helps. $45-80K.

4. Cannabis Tour Guide — Cities like Denver and LA have full 420 tour circuits. Tips are insane.

5. Edibles Chef — From home kitchens to licensed brands. Culinary meets chemistry.
