A cannabis shop is on the hunt for a professional spliff roller - and they're shelling out £10 an hour for the position.

If you think you're the expert at making cannabis joints then the position might be for you - but you'll need to take part in "rolling tryouts" first.

The Hemp Earth Dispensary, based in Brighton, will put candidates up against each other - with whoever makes the perfectly rolled joint the fastest bagging the job.

On the base of it you might think the whole thing sounds illegal, but you can rest assured knowing that "only legal herbal products" are used in the "blunts", as the Mirror reports.

The 'spliffs' will be made using organic rolling paper and 0.7gms of the company's "finest CDB Flowers".

It reads: "We are seeking the creme de la creme of Brighton-based spliff rollers to come and join our team at Hemp Earth Dispensary.

"Can you roll the perfect pure spliff in under five minutes? If so then we want you!

"Come to Hemp Earth Dispensary on Wednesday, February 27 at 2pm for a spliff rolling contest.

"You roll, we'll time you. If you're the fastest and make the prettiest spliff, then we'll keep you."

We wouldn't advise giving up your day job just yet though because the role is not full time and the spliff-roller will only be required to work a couple of hours each week.

The ad has already attracted a lot of interest, with only a few of the 50 available spaces left less than a day after it was posted.

Organisers have stressed that they have discouraged people from attempting to bring any prohibited substances on their premises.

A spokesman for the Hemp Earth Dispensary said: "We would like to make clear we are not offering a full time 'job role' here, and we are are hoping that those that do come along on the day, do so in a good-natured way, ready to have some fun, and engage with each other.

"The person we do select will be asked to produce some hand made rolls of legal herbal mixture for any of our customers that might request this - this will be for a maximum of eight hours per calendar month.

"More than anything we wish to stress, that nothing illegal is ever present on the premises at any time, and attempting to bring any prohibited substances on to our premises is strictly forbidden."
