The Cannabist, a newly formed marijuana advocate launched by The Denver Post, is opening its doors to a new sex columnist, but not just any sex columnist, a sex columnist who specializes in the recreational use of pot. In other
words, the best job ever.
Should they consider me, I would move to Denver without question, and would title my column “Matt About Town, Getting High & Getting Down,” or “The Smokey Stoner’s Guide to Getting It On.” Yeah, those will work.
The Cannabist was launched just prior to Colorado’s legalization of marijuana at the start of the year on the same basic principles of most local sites and magazines: to deliver the news and goings-on of the community’s politics, art, business, culinary events and even sports. Only, in order to differentiate themselves from other rags, including The Denver Post itself, The Cannabist focuses on how cannabis may offer itself to these categories.
A hybrid news source that can combine sports and weed. What will they think of next? The answer, of course, is obvious: a marriage between sex and smoking in the form of a candid, open-minded conversation based on both exploration and an insatiable enthusiasm for getting naked, both historically and routinely, while high as a kite.
Colorado legalized the growth, sale and smoking of marijuana within its borders in late 2012, opening stores for the personal, regulated use of its constituents on the first day of 2014. With the passing of Amendment 64 came an abundance of pot shops, local growers and pure American stoner pride. A site like The Cannabist is just one of many public forums for fellow pot advocates, but the style of infusing marijuana into the written word of an all-areas local community news source is unprecedented.
According to The Cannabist, the sex-pot columnist’s duties are as follows:
“Our new freelance columnist will write about sex, relationships, intimacy, gender issues and more as it all relates to a world where marijuana is becoming legal-and oftentimes present in the bedroom. Our columnist will write about his or her own history, address trends, review related products and answer read questions. This is a paid freelance position, and our ideal candidate will truly put him or herself out there.”
Now, we’re no rocket scientists or extreme mathematicians, but the person who wrote this likely came up with the idea, as well as the job description, when he or she was incredibly high out of his or her mind. They may have been horny potentially, as well. If this is an excuse to hire a beautiful mountain girl who not only loves to smoke dope but loves to have sex before, during and after, then not only is this the best job offer, it’s the smartest management of journalists to date.
If that be the case, an applause to the man (or woman) who saw opportunity and seized the day because everyone from the Huffington Post to the Seattle Times is writing about this job posting. It’s safe to say that this columnist might have some reach outside of Denver, perhaps influencing the sway of other states in their voting of recreational marijuana use. Unfortunately, the deadline to apply for this position was Oct. 1, but based on the buzz about this potential best job ever-fringe benefits likely including large amounts of free weed and sex-don’t be surprised if The Cannabist is hiring sex-pot columnist #2 very soon. Get your résumé ready.
