Colorado Newspaper Hiring Marijuana Critic
Where's the good stuff? Medical marijuana explosion creates booming review business

DENVER October 20, 2009 (AP)

The store has a television lounge and a pool table, and snacks and acupuncture are free for customers who drop up to $130 an ounce on 16 varieties of marijuana. But a reviewer of the business warns the decor looks a little cliche, what with the Grateful Dead posters on the wall and the Mexican-blanket tablecloths.

3. All humour aside

this is great news. This is Bud coming into the mainsteam. I could care less if 80% of customer have bogus prescriptions. Once this fact is absorbed by the politicos, perhaps the charade will end and we will have legitimate above board Bud and Hemp industries with special assistance/user friendly places for truly medicinal only.

7. $130 and ounce sounds pretty cheap.

Near as I can figure, it runs around 3 times that here in California.
