Workers are making thousands trimming marijuana

They sit for hours at a time, hunched over tables with scissors in one hand and marijuana in the other. The work is tedious, but it pays well — for now. This once mostly black market trade is slowly becoming more regulated, hindering the flow of quick under-the-table cash. “Really slow trimmers can make as little as $100 a day, if they’re not any good,” Blake said. “A really great trimmer can make up to $400 a day or $450 a day. An incredible trimmer can make $500 a day in product.”
