Marijuana writer
Caitlin has been writing about marijuana for a decade. She started with her weekly column Herbwise at the San Francisco Bay Guardian alt weekly, when now-legal California dispensaries’ battled with the federal government. She interviews figures from Mexico’s drug politics and culture every Monday for her Spanish language radio show Crónica. She was a regular contributor to High Times, the world’s most important weed magazine, and currently contributes to Snoop Dogg’s website MERRYJANE. She sees cannabis as a way of understanding societal structures, from international borders to health and wellness.
