High Times to Give Award to Charlo Greene

The "Fuck It" Reporter will soon have a new honor to add to her resume. 

The magazine High Times is bestowing it's biggest award to former KTVA Reporter Charlo Greene, who quit her job on KTVA News on air last month to help legalize pot in her home state.

The marijuana magazine will give Greene its Courage in Media Award at its 40th anniversary party Oct. 16 in New York.

Greene revealed on air that she owned the Alaska Cannabis Club, a network of medical-marijuana cardholders, and after becoming frustrated with the state’s progress to legalize bud, chose to “[dedicate] all of my energy toward fighting for freedom and fairness, which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska.”

She then declared, “As for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, fuck it, I quit,” and walked off-camera.

Green told High Times she credits marijuana with helping her go from failing school to graduating summa cum laude from college and a budding career in journalism (until last month). She said of her epic on-air walk-off, “I’m just living my truth.”

Her Mom must be so proud.
