• The LCB regularly breaks cannabis news for award-winning client Marijuana Moment. It’s also provided exclusive tailored packages for its “competitors” (Silicon Valley is every newsroom’s main competitor — Prof. Laslo), including Outlaw Report, MJ BizDaily,WikiLeaf and Rolling Stone, not to mention all the regional outlets the wire service has covered marijuana reform for, like Virginia Public Radio, WHYY and Colorado Public Radio.

• When a segment on propaganda fell through with mere days to spare, award-winning This American Life, naturally, reached out to The LCB to help fill the void from the Capitol
