"In Mile High City, Weed Sparks Up a Counterculture Clash" focuses on the push and pull between small-scale, mom-and-pop dispensaries and larger, tonier operations. Unsurprisingly, the Journal seems more comfortable with the latter, sniffing with disdain about operations that are "dingy and cramped, with bars on the windows, psychedelic posters on the walls and a generally furtive feel." That's probably why an accompanying slideshow is dominated by shots from ultra-professional enterprises such as Apothecary of Colorado and Lotus Medical, where our Joel Warner was photographed for an Associated Press story about Westword's decision to hire a medical marijuana reviewer.
Yes, the Journal notes our critic search in the new piece, although it fails to mention that we hired not one by two writers to work this beat.

The folks at Journal didn't make it to this particular dispensary, but give them time.
