Colorado Newspaper Looking for Marijuana Reviewer

Posted by samzenpus on from the missed-this-at-the-job-fair dept.

Westword, an "alternative" newspaper in Denver, has placed an ad for a medicinal marijuana reviewer. The paper has been running reviews by a staff writer, but the writer "wanted to return to the day job," opening up the position. Applicants must write a short essay on "What Marijuana Means To Me," and a MacGyver-like ability to make a bong out of common household objects is a plus.

      I did computer security for a major San Francisco medical marijuana club, a very well respected non-profit group that was instrumental in working with the city health department to craft guidelines and city card procedures, and with the police in sensitivity training. After a long day of product testing, I relaxed with some more product testing.

      All in all, you'd be surprised by the high quality of work that got done. And so would I, as I can't remember any of it.

      The bad news is, you tested positive for marijuana metabolites.

      The good news, you've got the job.

      Can you start tomorrow at 4:20?

    And then MacGuyver would build a fractionating column to distill hash oil to use in his vaporizer, so the quality of the marijuana would matter very little to MacGuyver, and he wouldn't need these reviews.

    The first person who both desires this job and a) has a resume, b) manages to find the motivation to print a copy of the resume, put it in an envelope, and send it to the HR department, and c) remembers to attend the interview gets the job automatically.

    I suspect the position will go unfilled for some time...

    Yeah and when you go to kiss someone, always kiss them through a large sheet of latex. Wear gloves whenever touching anything too. In fact, don't even look at anything!
