The most highly-coveted job in America has been filled.
The Denver Post has found its marijuana editor, hiring Ricardo Baca, who previously covered music and entertainment for the publication. In his new role, Baca will be tasked with managing a website following all things marijuana-related in the state, which is kind of like a big deal considering that legal sales will begin on Jan. 1. In an interview with the Post, Baca answered the burning questions everyone wants answered.
On whether or not he smokes:
None
On what's unique about the Post's weed initiative:
None
On whether or not they're hiring a weed critic (the question everyone really cares about):
None
Missy Miller, senior vice president of human resources for the paper, said that the standard drug and alcohol policy applies to the position, but noted that if you do happen to smoke "in the course of covering it for your job," the Post trusts that you will do so responsibly.
