Just to make it an even three in terms of pot posts for the
weekend (see here
and here),
via Hit & Run,
and according to the New York Times, Westword,
a Denver alt-weekly, is looking
for a marijuana critic; perhaps the nation’s first. Rather than review the product itself,
the idea is to assess the quality of the growing number of dispensaries now in
Denver.
“We want to see what kind of place it is, how well they care
for you and also how sketchy the place is,” said Patricia Calhoun, editor of
Westword. “Do they actually look at your medical marijuana card? Do they let
you slip some cash under the counter and bypass the rules?”
Last week, the paper published
a call for a regular freelance reviewer with a real, doctor-certified
medical need — asking each candidate to send a résumé and an essay on “What
Marijuana Means to Me” — and received several dozen applications within a few
days.

medical marijuana here. I promise, no more pot posts (this
weekend).

Ha! Now that's a blast from the past — haven't thought about that movie in years. Thanks Patrick.
