US Paper Seeks Pot Correspondent

A US newspaper says it has received well over 100 applicants for the post of marijuana critic - many of whom have offered to work for free. The alternative Denver newspaper, Westword, is seeking a writer for its weekly review of Colorado's booming medical marijuana dispensaries. But there is a catch - candidates must have a medical ailment allowing them to enter a dispensary and use marijuana. Fourteen US states now allow the sale of some sort of medical cannabis.
