Chris Kudialis is the mainstream media’s authority on cannabis news in Las Vegas. He began covering the beat as a reporter with the Review-Journal in 2015, then moved to the Las Vegas Sun for four years. When Nevada legalized rec in 2016 and started adult-use sales in 2017, the national media began coming to him for insight and coverage. Chris now contributes to Leafly News—the world’s most-read marijuana news website—and other major outlets in North America, including Weedmaps, Cannabis Business Times, and The GrowthOp—the cannabis news arm of Canada’s National Post.
