After a truly educational week Spring Interterm session of #CannabisJournalism, I was able to sit in with Ricardo Baca of the Denver Post on his Cannabist Show and talk about my recent experiences teaching this class and about his evolution on the marijuana beat.
With the launch of the documentary Rolling Papers, there was a perfect entry point for the class to wrap their heads around the current events that are shaping Colorado’s culture, policy and position in the world’s greatest social science experiment still in progress.
Field trip and writing. Finish up the week and submit work.
Two guests in the morning as the meat of the sandwich. Writing in the afternoon as the top slice, with the morning huddle and style talk as the foundation. It will be a less-hectic today compared to Tuesday and Wednesday. A cup of soup and a half sandwich kind of day.
