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.

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