The Cannabis Lifestyle
Joline Rivera changed the trajectory of the male-dominated, fast-growing $10 billion cannabis industry in 2017 as the only minority woman to launch a media brand, beginning with the launch of Kitchen Toke and reporting on culinary cannabis for health and wellness. Food & Wine magazine tapped her to develop culinary cannabis content for its 7 million readers. Soon she became the go-to for creating and curating culinary cannabis events in the lodging, retail, and music arena. Her work with Kitchen Toke rang her trend alarm bell when she discovered an infusion method unlike anything on the market – instead of the standard methods that rely upon lab-created infusions.
