Welcome to The Dope Reporter – your no-BS, industry-savvy source for cannabis news, policy scoops, and real talk from the front lines of legal weed.
We’re here to cut through the noise, skip the fluff, and give you the news and insight that actually matters to growers, retailers, policy nerds, investors, activists, and everyday stoners with a stake in how this industry grows up.
Whether you’re scaling a dispensary, lobbying for policy reform, or just want to know what’s going down with federal legalization, we’ve got you.
What We Cover
📰 Daily News Hits — Policy shifts, big biz drama, scientific updates, and who just got raided or acquired.
📊 Industry Intel — Real reporting on what’s moving the market (and what’s just hot air).
🎙️ Voices That Matter — Interviews with the people building the future of cannabis, not just the suits at the top.
📚 Practical Guides — Real-world walk-throughs on licensing, compliance, branding, and surviving your next state audit.
✊ Culture & Justice — Because this plant didn’t start with billionaires. We highlight equity programs, legacy voices, and grassroots efforts shaping reform.
Why We’re Different
There’s no shortage of cannabis content, but a lot of it is either corporate PR or Instagram vibes with no substance.
The Dope Reporter is:
- 🕵️♂️ Editorially independent
- 🤓 Fact-checked (yes, even when it’s inconvenient)
- 💡 Powered by real editors, operators, and policy wonks
- 💬 Opinionated, but never sloppy
We’re not here to hype, we’re here to inform and maybe drop a couple of smart jokes while we’re at it.
Who We Are
We’re a small-but-mighty crew of journalists, researchers, cultivators, and data nerds who’ve been living and reporting in the cannabis space long before it was cool. No suits. No spin. Just smart, honest coverage from people who know and love the industry (even when it makes us crazy).
