Pot Reviewer Gets Paid To Get High

I wonder what this guy’s resume and interview process was like. Usually jobs don’t hire people that do any drugs. I need to invent a unique career for myself.

  

A Denver man gets paid to smoke pot and write about it as one of the first medical marijuana critics in the country.  

A decade after medical marijuana was legalized in Colorado, it’s estimated about 2 percent of residents — or more than 100,000 people — have applied for medical marijuana licenses.

According to one Harvard economist, roughly $18 billion is spent on pot every year in the U.S. Denver’s Westword newspaper has capitalized on those numbers — hiring the man known as “William Breathes” to review pot dispensaries and the quality of the medical marijuana they sell.

“He has his journalism degree,” a Westword editor said. “He was a good writer, and he could also punctuate and he could spell, which was very different than a lot of people who applied for the job.”

Breathes has been smoking marijuana for 15 years to ease chronic stomach pains. Now his medicine is paying his mortgage.

“Load up a little bit and taste it,” he said as he tested a joint he bought at a local dispensary. “Try and taste the smoke as it comes out. It has a really woody finish, almost like a mesquite finish to it. After a few hits, try to see what kind of buzz it is.”

People who swear by pot’s medical benefits are becoming so-called marijuana pharmacists.

Steve Horowitz makes edibles at his Ganja Gourmet Shop on a street nicknamed “Broadsterdam.”

“It’s like gold, this stuff,” he said. “There’s a big bubble going on, there’s a big buzz, everyone wants to be in the medical marijuana business.”

As for Breathes, he’s not going to lie. His job can definitely be fun sometimes, and he still can’t get over that he gets paid to take bong hits.

But Breathes also believes in the power of marijuana as medicine.

“When I’m battling throwing up, pot really helps me the most — it’s truly medical,” he said.

R.I.P. Miguel Cotto Sr.

Cotto Pacquiao Boxing

The father of former World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto Jr. of Puerto Rico reportedly passed away on Sunday.

Elnuevodia.com, a media outlet in Puerto Rico, reported that Miguel Cotto Sr. died from a heart attack while driving in his hometown of Caguas.

Police said Cotto stopped his car along the road to San Lorenzo and asked for help while carrying an oxygen tank.

The 57-year-old Cotto was said to have long been suffering from heart problems and asthma.

“We know he had several ailments and he had an oxygen machine on when he got out of his car for help. It is believed he died of a heart attack. When the ambulance arrived, he was already dead,” Caguas police officer Emily Rodriguez told Elnuevodia.com.

Local media in Puerto Rico reported that Douglas Melendez, a young bartender, was the last person to see Cotto Sr. alive.

“I did not know he was the father of Miguel Cotto. He asked me to call an ambulance and I called,” Melendez told Elnuevodia.com.

Melendez claimed that he called 911 more than 4 times but the ambulance never came. He said the elder Cotto passed away at around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday.

Cotto Sr.’s body was reported to be lifted at around 4 p.m., and was moved to the Institute of Forensic Sciences for autopsy purposes.

His son, meanwhile, asked for time to mourn for his family’s loss.

“We appreciate all of the tokens of affection and sympathy. It is a very painful moment for me and my entire family. I hope that everyone respect our request for space to overcome this difficult moment,” Cotto Jr. was quoted as saying at Boxingscene.com. With reports from Elnuevodia.com, Boxingscene.com, and Primerahora.com
