I am anthropologist who has been studying the social transformation of cannabis for the past decade. I conduct research mostly in Northern California and focus on the material and discursive production of cannabis by cultivators and a panoply of actors ranging from law enforcement and policymakers to lawyers and real estate professionals. I am especially interested in the afterlife of prohibition as it shapes, is insinuated into, and transforms in post-legalization settings. I currently conduct research as part of UC Berkeley’s Cannabis Research Center, where I conduct ethnographic, survey, and interview research on the post-legalization dynamics of cannabis.
