We consider ourselves quite familiar with the many responsibilities of a fashion writer and the knowledge of the market that the role requires. But, when Racked introduced us to Katie Shapiro of The Cannabist this week, we had never heard of a position quite like hers. Shapiro is a weed style writer, and \u201cthe nation\u2019s first\u201d according to Racked. Perhaps you\u2019ve seen her headlines: \"Pot Leaf Chic: Jewelry Designer Jacquie Aiche Gives Ganja Golden Touch,\" \"Sarah Silverman Hits Emmys Red Carpet With 'Liquid Pot,'\u201d and \"Sativa Style: Give Patchouli Isabel Marant Shoes A Chance \u2014 10 Top Scents To Try.\"

While a number of major fashion publications have embraced the idea of regular marijuana use \u2014 such as Vogue, Elle, and yours truly \u2014 and have deemed it socially acceptable where it once was more taboo, it\u2019s people like Shapiro who are finding a http://www.hlmon.com/isabel-marant-shoes-c-97/ unique way to blend together a love of fashion with a penchant for pot.

As Shapiro describes it, the work is far from a day at the office with red eyes and a case of the munchies. \u201cI've covered everything from patchouli products to pop culture moments,\u201d the Denver-based writer tells Racked. \u201cI also do a series of interviews called 'Shop Sesh' where I visit Denver-based artists and designers, people who are culturally involved in the community and are proud pot smokers. We do an in-person Q&A and we usually share a smoke during an interview.
