From the rise of cannabis tourism to how America botched legalization, here are the stories Forbes readers thought most highly of this year.
, Will Yakowicz chronicled the myriad ways in which America has bungled legalization. Featuring interviews with cannabis entrepreneurs, farmers, advocates and politicians, Yakowicz explored how the country’s policies repeat the mistakes of alcohol prohibition while offering solutions that would benefit businesses and still fill state and federal coffers.
Three months after his cover story, Yakowicz expanded on his coverage by traveling to the heart of America’s cannabis country—California’s Emerald Triangle—for a video feature on legalization. In the Golden State, where 95% of cannabis growers operated at a loss last year, Yakowicz was there to witness a farmer pulp 55 lbs. of pot rather than sell it on the black market. He also talked to the godfather of legalization, Steve DeAngelo, who regrets advocating for legalization in his home state.
