Senior features writer Adam Tschorn is a former small-town newspaper editor, game-show question-and-answer man and fashion scribe who joined the Los Angeles Times in 2007. He currently covers a wide range of pop-culture topics with a focus on cannabis culture.
Tschorn grew up in the tiny Vermont town of Sandgate, earned his B.A. in philosophy from the University of Vermont and an M.A. in journalism from Northeastern University in Boston. All of these things have prepared him perfectly for going out into the world, looking at things, asking “why?” and then writing down the answers.
