NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Looking for a job in the legal marijuana industry? There's an app for that.
WeedHire in a new app that connects pot labs, dispensaries and even government regulators to potential employees. The Android app debuted this week, and the startup says an iPhone app is now under review by Apple (AAPL, Tech30).
Nearly 300 employers nationwide have already posted jobs, ranging from salespeople to weed police.
Marijuana is now fully legal in two states -- Colorado and Washington. It is also legal for medical use in 21 other states, plus the District of Columbia. Despite an unwavering federal prohibition on weed, it's a quickly growing industry.
The app lets employers post openings. Job seekers can search in a specific geographic area, upload resumes, submit them and share job posts with friends.

WeedHire isn't perfect. The search and contact-saving features are a little buggy. And there are still plenty of pot jobs that aren't listed.
For example, medical marijuana is legal in New York. but there's only one job within 100 miles of New York City: lab director at the Steep Hill Lab in Watertown, Conn.
But there are 52 jobs near Denver and another 19 jobs in the Seattle area. Among them:
