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 wonder if you have to pass a drug test.

    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 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...
