'Wanted, marijuana critic': Newspaper sparks controversy after advertising for drug reviewer


As jobs adverts go, it is one of the more controversial. Which might explain why the response has been stone cold.

Southern Arizona local newspaper the Tuscon Weekly has come under fire after advertising for a medical marijuana critic.

Only seven people have so far applied and critics claim the paper is glorifying drug use by advertising for the position, which would require visiting all the area's clinics and sampling the local produce.

The paper, however, insists the position will provide the local community's unwell with an important 'service', finding out for them which medical marijuana businesses are the most legitimate.
