Cannabis Journalist
SF Space Walk began in 2024 when award-winning cannabis journalist and best-selling author David Downs learned about SF Beer Week, and thought, ‘I want to go to there, but for weed.’ Downs has covered tech for WIRED, music for Rolling Stone, and The Onion, New York Times, and marijuana for Scientific American. He is the senior editor for the popular cannabis app Leafly (2018 to present), and the former Cannabis Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle (2016-2018). Downs was a 2024 Emjay Award Cannabis Journalist of the Year nominee.
