Celebrate the Women of Cannabis This Month

The beginning of March kicks of the start of Women’s History Month. It
began as a national, annual celebration in 1981. Today, many organizations
are paying tribute, including the Library of Congress, the National
Endowment for the Humanities and the Smithsonian Institution—to name a few.
This is a time to honor and celebrate the women throughout history who’ve
made an impact on our culture.

From science to technology to history and art, countless women have
contributed to the progression of humanity—often unrecognized. But, what
about trailblazers in the cannabis industry?

As more women emerge as CEOs, investment partners and leaders in business,
the industry will look to the dynamic, innovative and professionally daring
women shaping the market’s future. Check out these articles below for some
of our favorites concerning women and cannabis.

the industry.

and entrepreneurs, led by Vanderbilt University scientist, author and
fierce cannabis advocate, Dr. Annabelle Manalo-Morgan, who credits the
plant with nothing less than saving her son’s life.
