Gone are the days of $20 Cannabis 101 Blogs.

Cannabis writing in the age of Ai requires a personal understanding of (and ability to articulate) the nuances of this plant beyond what you can google.

Everyone in cannabis is focused on shrinking overhead and increasing margins, which means hiring a new writer is low on the list.

It’s cheaper (and faster) to copy/paste one another or ChatGPT their “101” content, further removing these low-hanging fruit contracts from the list of entry-level options.

Example of a ChatGPT prompt based on Hobby Growing.

If you want to get a job as a writer in cannabis, you need to understand how to blend your personal cannabis experiences with a technical understanding of the plant and the products consumers want.

It can’t just be generic, 101 content. You can’t write about “all things cannabis.” You need to pick something, immerse yourself in it, and define your niche.

In an age where Ai covers all things general, be specific as fuck.
