Project Statement
Last year I was assigned to cover medical dispensaries for Fortune magazine. Since then, I have independently photographed over 30 patients with an array of stories revealing a diverse group of physical and mental health patients that rely on cannabis versus prescription medication, despite the societal stigma and frail legality.
