A US newspaper has hired a marijuana critic who is paid to get high and write about his experiences like a restaurant reviewer.
 
The Denver Westword will run a regular column by "William Breathes" as he goes around reviewing local medical marijuana dispensaries.
 
The writer, who goes by the pen-name so he is not recognised while 'working', will offer his insight into the quality of service and the quality of the marijuana served.
 
In Colorado, where medical was legalised 10 years ago, more than 100,000 have applied for medical marijuana licenses, including the critic who suffers from chronic stomach pains.

After the marijuana critic job was advertised earlier this year the paper was inundated with applications. Bosses say he stood out because he "could punctuate and he could spell".
Breathes, who does have a journalism degree, says he still can't believe he is getting paid to get high.
 
While the idea of a cannabis critic might sound bizarre it is believed the roughly $18 billion is spent on medical pot every year.
