Publications
Selected writing and archival work.Most people do not realize that my journey to California was for the purpose of focusing on cannabis media. After expressing to Frenchy Cannoli my desire to create cannabis content, he offered me the opportunity to write about hash for Weed World Magazine. He informed me that I would have to learn how to make hash in order to write about it with any authority or authenticity. This is how I became The Dank Duchess, Hashmaker. For five years I tightened my own hashmaking technique while I interviewed and partook in the hash of dozens of hash makers from around the world. Over the years I have also contributed several articles to books by Ed Rosenthal, Skunk Magazine, and Cannabis Now Magazine. I am presently working on a compilation of previously unpublished hash stories and videos.
