Margaret Holloway

Margaret Holloway has spent nearly thirty years covering the intersection of medicine, policy, and the patients caught between them. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, STAT News, and Scientific American, and her 2019 book on chronic pain and the American healthcare system remains required reading for anyone trying to understand why so many patients fall through the cracks. She came to medical cannabis not as a patient but as a reporter — following the evidence, interviewing the clinicians, and refusing to let advocacy outrun the science. She writes about medical cannabis because patients deserve the same rigor that any serious health topic deserves.
