YES! REALLY! This seems like a job a lot of us secretly want.
The alternative Denver newspaper, Westword, is seeking a writer for its weekly review of Colorado's booming medical marijuana dispensaries.

And the applicants number in the hundreds, but I don't know if it's reached 420. (Heh.) Some even offer to work for free, but the newspaper maintains they're not there to sample the finer leaves, but to review the quality and the service of the place that sells this for strictly medicinal purposes.
"Compensation will be meagre," says the posting. It says the paper can't pay for marijuana purchases, "although that would be pretty cool."

Dammit, where's your pain ailments when you need them?

So, the reviewer's job is to go around to a bunch of places that are basically marijuana pharmacies, and rate their services? That actually sounds like a pretty boring and unrewarding job, especially if you have to pay for the weed yourself.

Especially given the fact that, if they're doing this legitimately, they're already using medicinal marijuana. All they're doing is travelling to different pharmacies, writing a review and getting paid a few dollars for their troubles. It's actually closer to exploitation than a cool job.

Well, if you are an independent contractor for the magazine you can always claim the cost of the weed as a business/occupational expense and get money back from the federal government...
