Alex Yeager is a California-born cannabis writer who learned the plant before the modern cannabis industry took shape. Raised on the Monterey Peninsula with roots in the pre-helicopter grow days of Big Sur, he’s spent more than a decade covering strains, science, and cannabis politics with a practiced skepticism for hype and official stories. When he’s not making pottery or riding trails, he’s still chasing the same thing — what’s real, what works, and what doesn’t survive scrutiny.
