Books By Lauren Yoshiko - Author

Lauren Yoshiko is a dedicated cannabis journalist from Portland, Oregon. When Oregon legalised adult-use cannabis in 2014, Lauren wrote some of the first articles about the industry. Actually, her career started a bit before then, during which she published strain reviews in Portland, Oregon's Pulitzer Prize-winning alt-weekly, Willamette Week, under the pseudonym "Mary Romano" (long story.) While she followed the evolution of cannabis business and culture for outlets like Forbes, Broccoli Magazine, Thrillist, Conde Nast and Rolling Stone, she worked at dispensaries and a cannabis farm. She co-hosted Broccoli Magazine's podcast, Broccoli Talk, and continues to report on the evolving realm for various outlets and for the Broccoli Report-her weekly newsletter for creative cannabis entrepreneurs.
