In 2014, when Roseburg-raised Lauren Yoshiko started writing about weed for Willamette Week, she used a pen name. She didn’t want to be so open about her knowledge of cannabis, which at that point in Oregon was legal only for medical use. Instead, her alt-weekly strain reviews were published under “Mary Romano.”

Ten years later, Yoshiko’s name—her real one—is on the cover of Green Scenes, a just-published travel guide to cannabis destinations and experiences across the US. (For the record, Yoshiko ditched the WW pseudonym after a year. For further record, she and I have also worked together.)

The book, which pushes 300 pages, is testament to the legal, economic, and cultural transformation that’s taken place over the last decade. Oregon, at the vanguard when it voted to legalize recreational use in 2014, is now one of 24 states where adults can pop into a dispensary for a joint or a tin of THC mints. And in many of these states, as Green Scenes documents in vivid and lively detail, they can do a lot more, including book a cannabis-friendly treehouse, enjoy an infused dinner cooked by a Michelin-starred chef, join a puff-and-paint class or smoke-and-sweat workout, and browse boutiques filled with CBD skincare, classy porcelain bongs, and candles specially formulated to eliminate the smell of weed smoke.

Released by Australian imprint Hardie Grant Explore, which approached Yoshiko about the project, Green Scenes covers 15 states and features brisk but knowledgeable profiles of more than 100 cannabis-centric businesses alongside full-color photos. The book opens with a glossary and shopping tips, and it’s peppered with interviews with cannabis entrepreneurs and advocates: the Oregon chapter features a conversation with Liv Vasquez, a Portland chef who also teaches plant medicine classes, while in the Colorado chapter you’ll find a Q&A with Wanda James, a Navy veteran who teamed with her husband to become the first Black owners of a legal dispensary in the US.

Which Portland spots get love? Yoshiko cites Nelson & Co. as her favorite grower in the Pacific Northwest and shouts out Carefree Cannabis, the farm’s dispensary in the Cully neighborhood. She’s also fond of hip-hop dispensary Green Muse, CBD boutique Make & Mary, and manicures from weed-friendly nail artist Nomi Miraj. Beyond the city, Cave Junction’s Tokin Tree House gets a mention for its 35-foot-high, consumption-friendly abode, as does an infused sparkling cider from Bend’s Magic Number.

Flipping through the book, though, it’s hard not to envy what’s happening elsewhere in the country, whether it’s the nerdy lab tours at Seattle’s Heylo, the cannabis farmstand/cacti boutique in Albuquerque cofounded by a 15th-generation New Mexican, or the infused slushies and stoney bingo in Chicago. And, at least for the time being, you’ll have to travel all the way to the other Portland to shop at a cat-themed dispensary that (but of course) even hosts its own adoption events.
