The Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) is expanding cannabis access at public events, allowing sales at most concerts and festivals, even those where minors are present, provided sales and consumption occur in designated 18+ zones. This policy change allows licensed Alberta retailers to apply for temporary license extensions to sell cannabis at these events, a shift from previous restrictions to adults-only events. This move is seen as a significant step towards normalizing cannabis in Alberta, with retailers like Plantlife Cannabis and event organizers like Rockin’ Thunder and Country Thunder embracing the change, emphasizing responsible and compliant integration into major live events. < Back AGLC Expands Cannabis Access at Public Events Jul 17, 2025 Source: Mg Magazine Newswire MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *EDMONTON, AB –* The Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) is expanding cannabis access at public events. Already the first and only province in Canada to permit cannabis sales at 18+ events, cannabis will soon be available at most concerts and festivals. “We see this as a natural evolution of where cannabis retail is headed,” said Ian Scott, VP Operations, Plantlife Cannabis. “Festivals bring together a wide range of Albertans — and by operating in designated 18+ zones with transparency, education, and full compliance, we’re showing how cannabis can responsibly exist in the same spaces as beer gardens or food trucks. We’re proud to be leading this shift.” What the New Policy Means “Effective immediately, cannabis store licensees may apply to AGLC for an extension of their licence to temporarily sell cannabis at events and festivals where minors are permitted. Sales shall only occur in designated areas of the event or festival where minors are prohibited.” Until now, cannabis sales were restricted to adults-only (18+) events. Retailers could sell cannabis only with a temporary license extension from the AGLC, and sales could not occur within designated consumption areas. Under the updated rules: - Cannabis may be sold at events where minors are present, if restricted to 18+ zones. - Consumption areas remain separate and 18+ only. - Only licensed Alberta retailers can apply for these special permits. The change opens the door for a more inclusive, regulated cannabis presence at Alberta’s top music and cultural festivals. “This is a huge step for the normalization of cannabis in Alberta,” said Marcie Kiziak, President of Retail, Plantlife Cannabis. “We’ve been preparing behind the scenes, and our team is ready to operate responsibly, visibly, and in full compliance at a new kind of cultural event.” “We’re proud to share that this past weekend’s festival marked a successful step forward in integrating legalized cannabis into the live music experience. Our on-site cannabis sales were handled with the highest standards of compliance and responsibility, working closely with regulators to ensure a safe and seamless guest experience,” said Gerry Krochak, Director of Corporate Partnerships, Rockin’ Thunder and Country Thunder. “The feedback from festival goers was overwhelmingly positive — guests appreciated the convenience and atmosphere, and we saw respectful, responsible enjoyment throughout the weekend. We’re excited about the future of enhancing festival culture in a thoughtful and progressive way. We’re also happy to have this partnership lined up for our Country Thunder event in Calgary this August.” “This was a historic moment — we’re proud to be the first retailer in Canada to offer legal cannabis sales at an all-ages event. Through careful planning, designated consumption areas, and clear separation from minors, we demonstrated that cannabis can be safely and responsibly integrated into major live events. This sets a new benchmark for what’s possible in the evolving entertainment and cannabis landscapes,” said Scott. Note on Compliance All sales and promotional activity are conducted in alignment with the Cannabis Act and AGLC regulations. No cannabis is sold or consumed in the presence of minors. Branded materials are factual, non-glamorized, and focused on responsible access. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe signed the Intoxicating Cannabinoid Control Act to regulate hemp-derived products and align state definitions with new federal rules that criminalize hemp-derived THC. The law requires non-licensed entities to stop selling these products and strengthens privacy protections for cannabis consumers. < Back Missouri Tightens the Reins as New Law Syncs State Hemp Rules with Federal Standards Apr 27, 2026 Source: TG Branfalt Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Big changes are coming to Missouri’s cannabis landscape, and if you enjoy hemp-derived goodies, you’ll want to pay close attention. Governor Mike Kehoe recently put pen to paper on the Intoxicating Cannabinoid Control Act, a move designed to bring the Show-Me State in line with strict new federal standards. This means the days of finding potent hemp-derived THC products at your local gas station or smoke shop are coming to an end. Starting this November, the state is tightening the reins by redefining what counts as hemp. Essentially, any product intended to get you lifted will now fall under the same rigorous oversight as the legal marijuana market. For enthusiasts, this is actually a win for safety and transparency. We’ve all seen those sketchy, knock-off gummies that look a little too much like regular candy. This law aims to clear those off the shelves, ensuring that whatever you consume is tested, regulated, and kept out of the hands of kids. What does this mean for your shopping habits? If a business doesn’t have a specific cannabis license, they’ll have to stop selling these intoxicating hemp products entirely. You’ll likely need to head to a licensed dispensary to find your favorites, where you can trust the quality and potency labels. Speaking of dispensaries, there’s a great silver lining for privacy: the new law strictly forbids shops from keeping or sharing your personal info without your written go-ahead. While it might feel like a bummer to see some options disappear from convenience stores, shifting toward a more professional, regulated industry helps protect the community we love. It’s all about making sure our access remains safe and high-quality. If you’re worried about your favorite stash running low, now is the time to start chatting with your local budtenders about transitioning to regulated alternatives. Stay safe and stay informed! < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Everything about Fuego Banana: effects, typical THC, lineage, and terpenes — plus hands-on product reviews and bud photos from Toker's Guide's DMV experts. < Back Fuego Banana Strain Review Type Hybrid THC % 19% Dominant Terpene Energy NA Unknown Overview Fuego Banana is an indica-dominant hybrid marijuana strain known for its potent effects and a flavor profile that lives up to its name. A cross between Banana OG and an undisclosed "Fuego" lineage, this strain is favored by those seeking a heavy-hitting experience with a tropical twist. Effects Fuego Banana is a potent indica-dominant strain known for its fast-acting "creeper" effect, starting with a gentle cerebral lift that transitions into profound full-body relaxation and sedative "couch-lock" qualities. This makes it an ideal low-energy or "nightcap" strain for experienced users looking to unwind and manage insomnia. Its therapeutic profile is highly effective for treating chronic pain, muscle spasms, and stress due to its high THC content and the presence of caryophyllene, which offers anti-inflammatory benefits. The strain's complex terpene profile also includes myrcene, which contributes to its earthy base and relaxing nature, and limonene, which provides bright citrus notes and potential mood-elevating effects. Together, these elements create a heavy-hitting experience characterized by tropical sweetness and deep physical sedation. Positive Effects Side Effects Common Uses Relaxed 0% Happy 0% Euphoric 0% Uplifted 0% Talkative 0% Creative 0% Energetic 0% Focused 0% Giggly 0% Tingly 0% Hungry 0% Sleepy 0% Unknown Dry Mouth 0% Dry Eyes 0% Dizzy 0% Paranoid 0% Anxious 0% Hungry 0% Tingly 0% Sleepy 0% Appearance The buds of Fuego Banana are typically dense and chunky, featuring a vibrant forest green color. They are often accented by thin orange pistils and coated in a generous layer of sticky, amber-tinted trichomes, giving the flower a slightly golden, resinous glow. Aroma As the name suggests, the aroma is heavily defined by overripe bananas and sweet tropical fruit. This primary scent is balanced by deep, earthy undertones and a subtle peppery spice that becomes more prominent when the buds are broken apart. Flavor The taste mirrors the aroma, offering a smooth smoke that tastes like sweet, creamy banana bread. On the exhale, users often notice a lingering dankness with hints of herbal spice and a touch of fuel, characteristic of its OG heritage. Lineage Fuego Banana is a descendant of the famous Banana OG (Ghost OG x Sagarmartha's 60/40 Banana pheno). While the exact "Fuego" parent is often kept proprietary by breeders, the resulting genetic mix leans heavily toward the indica side, focusing on high resin production and sedative properties. Terpene Profile - Limonene: Provides the bright, citrusy notes and potential mood-elevating effects. - Myrcene: Contributes to the herbal, earthy base and the strain's relaxing, "couch-lock" qualities. - Caryophyllene: Adds a spicy, peppery kick and may offer anti-inflammatory benefits.Effects Fuego Banana is known for a fast-acting "creeper" effect. It begins with a gentle cerebral lift that melts away stress, quickly transitioning into a profound full-body relaxation. Due to its high THC content, it is frequently used to manage chronic pain, muscle spasms, and insomnia. Cultivation Preferences This strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a controlled, warm climate. - Flowering Time: Approximately 8 to 9 weeks. - Yield: Moderate to high. - Maintenance: Growers should monitor humidity levels closely due to the density of the buds to prevent mold. It responds well to topping and low-stress training (LST).Origin Fuego Banana originated in the United States, emerging from the West Coast breeding scene where OG Kush variants are frequently crossed to enhance fruit profiles and potency. Seed Suppliers Seeds or clones of Fuego Banana can occasionally be found through specialty boutiques and seed banks such as Black Market Genetics or through California-based nurseries. Conclusion Fuego Banana is a top-tier choice for enthusiasts who enjoy dessert-like flavors paired with heavy indica effects. Its combination of tropical sweetness and potent physical sedation makes it an ideal "nightcap" strain for experienced users looking to unwind. Previous Next

Aroma The scent is a sophisticated blend of sweet berries inherited from its Blue Dream lineage, complemented by strong citrus overtones and a distinct peppery, spice-filled finish. Flavor On the palate, it delivers a refreshing burst of sweet orange and ripe berries. The exhale is grounded by earthy notes and a subtle, sharp hint of black pepper. Lineage This strain is a precise cross between the classic sativa-dominant Blue Dream and California Orange CBD. This genetic pairing was specifically designed to retain the flavor and growth characteristics of Blue Dream while introducing a 1:1 or higher CBD-to-THC ratio. Terpene Profile - Myrcene: Provides herbal notes and contributes to the strain's relaxing, anti-inflammatory properties. - Pinene: Offers a scent of pine needles and helps with mental clarity and focus. - Limonene: Adds the bright citrus zest and mood-elevating effects. - Caryophyllene: Responsible for the peppery kick and provides potent physical relief.Effects Unlike the high-THC original, Blue Dream CBD provides a clear-headed, mild euphoria that allows users to remain functional. It is highly effective for managing anxiety, chronic pain, and inflammation without the intense psychoactive "racy" feeling sometimes associated with sativas. Cultivation Preferences - Climate: Prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of light. - Flowering Time: Approximately 9 to 10 weeks. - Growth Habit: Known for vigorous growth and high productivity; it can grow quite tall and may require topping or support for its heavy branches. - Yield: Generous, especially when grown in large containers or directly in the ground.Origin The strain was developed in Northern California by the Humboldt Seed Organization, a group renowned for refining elite clones into stable seed form. Seed Suppliers Authentic seeds can be sourced directly from Humboldt Seed Organization or through reputable international seed banks like Seedsman, North Atlantic Seed Co., and Attitude Seedbank. Conclusion Blue Dream CBD is an ideal entry point for those who love the sensory profile of classic California cannabis but require the medicinal benefits of CBD. It successfully bridges the gap between recreational enjoyment and therapeutic necessity, offering a balanced experience that is both beautiful to grow and soothing to consume. Previous Next

The intoxicating hemp market has expanded rapidly through a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, leading to a complex regulatory environment that states are struggling to manage. < Back The Confusing Jumble of State Hemp Laws is Finally Heading for a Major Reality Check Apr 15, 2026 Source: richa MJbizDaily Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The world of hemp-derived products has been a bit like the Wild West for the past several years, but a major regulatory shift is finally appearing on the horizon. Since the 2018 Farm Bill inadvertently opened a massive loophole, the market for intoxicating hemp products has exploded into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Because federal lawmakers haven't stepped in to provide clear guardrails, we’ve ended up with a confusing jumble of state laws that vary wildly depending on which side of a border you’re standing on. For those who enjoy the convenience of picking up hemp-derived options at local shops, this news is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, the lack of oversight allowed for incredible innovation and accessibility. On the other, the absence of strict testing and labeling requirements means quality can be hit or miss. This upcoming "reckoning" is really about bringing some much-needed consistency to the space. When regulations are standardized, it usually leads to better safety protocols, more accurate potency labeling, and a more stable market for the brands we’ve come to love. So, why does this matter to you? In the short term, you might notice some of your favorite products shifting their formulations or packaging to stay compliant with new state-level rules. If you’re a regular user, now is a great time to start paying closer attention to Certificate of Analysis (COA) reports. Any reputable brand should provide these lab results via a QR code on the packaging, showing you exactly what’s inside. While the "patchwork" of state rules is currently a headache for businesses, the move toward a more formal structure is a positive sign for the long-term health of cannabis culture. It legitimizes the industry and ensures that whether you're looking for wellness or recreation, you can trust what you’re putting in your body. Stay informed, keep supporting your local shops, and look for brands that prioritize transparency during this transition. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission’s social equity program, which was paused for a year due to budget constraints, is back on track for the fall, starting September 8 for current applicants and accepting more starting August 1. The program aims to train individuals most impacted by the war on drugs for the cannabis industry, despite ongoing funding issues and legislative scrutiny of the commission's budget and operations. Advocates are pushing for automatic funding for the social equity program from cannabis tax revenue to ensure its continuity. < Back Massachusetts Social Equity Cannabis Program Restarts After Year-Long Pause Jul 14, 2025 Source: Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Good news for the Bay State: Massachusetts is finally restarting its cannabis social equity program after a frustrating year-long hiatus. Budget battles between the Cannabis Control Commission and state lawmakers originally left over 200 applicants in limbo, but officials have confirmed that training will officially resume on September 8th. While the new sessions will be virtual to keep costs down, the move reopened doors for those most impacted by past prohibition to receive the technical and regulatory guidance needed to launch their own businesses. Advocates are now pushing for a new bill that would guarantee permanent funding from cannabis tax revenue, ensuring the program never hits another "pause" button. This restart is a major win for the community because it honors the original promise of legalization: making sure the industry isn't just for big corporations. For regular tokers, a healthy social equity program means more diverse local brands, unique craft products, and a market that actually reflects the people who built cannabis culture in the first place. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

Women in the cannabis industry are challenging norms and building a more equitable future despite facing significant challenges such as access to capital, compensation disparity, and underrepresentation. They are overcoming these barriers by trusting their intuition, building purpose-driven businesses, forming strategic alliances, and leveraging strong networks. Their contributions bring fresh perspectives, empathy, and inclusivity, and their growing presence as consumers and entrepreneurs is shaping market trends and pushing for greater diversity and equity within the industry. < Back How Women Cannabis Leaders Are Creating a More Equitable Future Jul 16, 2025 Source: Taylor Engle MG Magazine Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Resilient, driven, and deeply rooted in their values, women across the industry are challenging norms and building a more equitable future. The women leading the cannabis industry today arrived in their positions via different paths. Some stumbled into their careers by accident, while others followed a lifelong passion. Some saw an opportunity to leave a legacy in a novel landscape; to help shape an emerging commercial sector into something new and promising. But no matter why they dove in or how they got to where they are, all of them had to develop resilience, a strong voice, and a clear sense of purpose. To thrive, women in cannabis have had to trust their intuition, identify what makes them uniquely valuable, and align themselves with people who share their values. Barriers to success can be high and persistent. Access to capital continues to be one of the biggest challenges for women trying to start or scale a business, and the industry has yet to come to grips with the related issues of boardroom composition and compensation parity. How are women confronting these challenges, carving out space for themselves, and paving the way for future generations? These leaders had plenty of insight to share. Where strength begins Succeeding in an economically volatile space requires more than just skills and industry knowledge. It also demands confidence, perseverance, and the ability to trust one’s gut. Lesley Nickus, president of Scary Plants Foundation, emphasized the importance of taking a firm stand on one’s personal convictions. “It’s important to develop a thick skin and a strong voice,” she said. “You will encounter people who don’t believe in you, who think your ideas are unworthy, and who have no problem telling you those things in passive-aggressive or disrespectful ways. Keep your eyes open, your boundaries firm, and shut any disrespect down in the moment.” The industry can be unpredictable, so trusting intuition is key, she added. If a deal, partnership, or opportunity feels “off,” it probably is. “Believe that feeling in your gut, and tap into your trusted circle if you need to talk it through,” Nickus advised. Part of trusting one’s intuition is understanding the consumer experience—especially in wellness-focused businesses like Nika Antuanette’s BlissIn Out, which incorporates the plant into yoga, mindful movement, dance, music, and holistic therapies. “Not everyone reacts to the same dose or strain in the same way,” she said. “Cannabis is highly personal, much like medicine, and should be treated with the same level of respect. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Patience is key.” The same mindful approach allows for a more intentional relationship with business, as well. “We must take an empowered approach by remembering to take care of our wellbeing, including our physical, mental, and spiritual health,” Antuanette said. [image: Nika Antuanette, BlissIn Out Cannabis] *Nika Antuanette, BlissIn Out* Beyond intuition, defining a strong personal mission is crucial. Business in the industry is subject to distractions like stigma, legal setbacks, and lack of recognition for women in leadership roles. That’s why having a clear purpose helps leaders focus on what really matters. For some female leaders, purpose is rooted in personal loss and a deep desire to create change. That was the case for Queen Mary founder and Chief Executive Officer Tiana Woodruff, whose journey into entrepreneurship began after witnessing the devastating effects of prescription opioid addiction within her family. “In 2014, my aunt passed away from complications related to her addiction to prescribed opioids,” Woodruff said. “Watching a family member struggle with addiction and slowly deteriorate gives you a feeling of helplessness that I can’t begin to describe. “Then, a few years later, I read a book called Change Your Brain, Change Your Life,” she continued. “It talked about using natural supplements as alternatives to prescriptions and how they can provide similar relief without the harsh side effects. That sparked an idea in me to combine those natural remedies with cannabis to offer the same kind of euphoric relief that prescriptions provide but without the addictive risk. “The idea really started to take shape when my ninety-year-old grandmother was prescribed the same opioids that took my aunt’s life,” she added. “Watching her personality change, I knew I had to find a better way to relieve her pain and help her stay active.” When adult-use licensing launched in California, Woodruff saw a chance to turn her vision into reality. She applied, but the process wasn’t easy. Despite being denied in the first two rounds, she kept pushing forward until, eventually, she encountered Our Academy, Our Dream. The program provides a twenty-week course to help small operators navigate the licensing process. With the course’s help, Woodruff finally found the guidance and mentorship she needed to reach her goals. Her journey illustrates how personal passion can become the driving force behind a mission. But once that purpose is clear, success also requires discipline, business acumen, and the ability to adapt in a rapidly changing environment. “Find your passion and make that the core of your business, then always stay true to it,” said Autumn Brands co-owner and Head of Sales Hanna Brand. “Be transparent with your consumers and retail partners. Track everything and measure [key performance indicators] for your initiatives.” [image: Autumn Shelton, Autumn Brands] *Autumn Shelton, Autumn Brands* Co-owner Autumn Shelton emphasized the importance of researching legal and regulatory requirements governing the commercial endeavors to which values and intuition draw women. “Make sure you understand all the regulations and learn from others,” she advised. “Cannabis is a demanding and constantly evolving industry. It requires drive and the ability to adapt and change quickly. “You should also study the plant and develop a great appreciation for her natural traits and abilities,” Shelton continued. “Be frugal and strategic with your investments. Measure every dollar you spend and prioritize cost-effective assets until you have the capital for long-term investments. “Finally, integrate within the cannabis community,” she added. “Build strong relationships and engage with industry events and groups to broaden your network and gain insights. This will not only keep you informed but also open up opportunities for collaboration and growth.” The value of perspective Women bring fresh perspectives, empathy, and inclusivity to an industry historically dominated by men. As more women step into leadership roles, they have the opportunity to challenge outdated norms and create a more collaborative, supportive environment. Willow Industries founder and CEO Jill Ellsworth was drawn to the industry by the opportunity to bring her food-science background to bear on innovation in a nascent sector. “The idea of creating something entirely new in a space that was still in its infancy was incredibly exciting,” she said. “I wanted to help shape the future of cannabis while also making a positive impact on patients and consumers.” [image: Jill Ellsworth, Willow Industries] *Jill Ellsworth, Willow Industries* She shared three essential strategies for other women who want to forge their own path. “Be clear and direct about what you want,” she said. “In such a male-dominated industry, confidence and clarity are key. Don’t be afraid to assert yourself. Second, embrace your unique strengths. Women bring a powerful set of skills to the table that our male counterparts often don’t possess. Recognize and leverage those qualities to your advantage. Finally, never forget that you are an equal. The value you bring is undeniable, so always stand firm in that truth.” Ellsworth’s advice highlights the power of self-assurance and embracing what makes women uniquely effective in business. But while confidence is key, so is clarity—and that means learning when to protect your energy and stay aligned with your purpose. “I think one of the biggest mistakes I see women make is trying to be everything to everyone,” Woodruff said. “We’re natural nurturers, and that instinct to take care of everyone can sometimes work against us. In the cannabis space, especially, you have to stay focused on your mission and your goals. Be flexible and ready to pivot, but don’t let the fear of what people think or how you’re perceived hold you back. That was a tough lesson for me to learn: staying true to what I believe in, even if it goes against the grain.” Define your worth Women’s success isn’t a product of merely knowing the business and being good at what they do. On a deeper level, success also requires knowing and nurturing the elements that make each woman uniquely herself. In a rapidly changing industry that attracts a mix of visionaries, opportunists, and everything in between, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by chaos. That’s why defining a core set of values early on and aligning oneself with complementary others is essential. Nickus advocates “finding your tribe,” especially as a minority woman. “The cannabis industry is huge, chaotic, and oftentimes dysfunctional,” she said. “You have people from all walks of life with all types of reasons for getting into it. With that comes a litany of ulterior motives that might not always be in your best interest. The faster you can identify the network that will uplift you, the smoother your journey will be.” Solonje Burnett, founder of Erven and Weed Auntie, has sought comfort and assistance from marginalized communities (womxn, queer, melanated, softboi). With the support of others who self-identify as nontraditional, she found foundational building blocks and relational nourishment as she navigated the cannabis world. “Show up for each other even though the industry reeks of toxicity, exclusion, and hypocrisy,” she advised. “Seek and solidify long-term, ally-centric partnerships; they will see you through the challenging times. [image: Solonje Burnett, Erven Weed Auntie Cannabis] *Solonje Burnett, Erven & Weed Auntie* “You should also be your authentic self,” she added. “No one else can do what you do the way you do it. Stay focused but flexible, fearless, intentional, and informed. Explore and remain interested in industries, spaces, and cultures that usher in inspiration rather than sitting in circles of sameness. You can’t grow if you don’t know.” For KushKards founder Lauren Miele, learning to stand firm in her worth was a game-changer. Early in her career, she made the same mistake many other brand owners make: lowering prices to secure sales. But she quickly realized saying yes to every deal, especially deals that undervalued her work, wouldn’t help her company grow. “I wish I’d learned sooner not to lower my price just to make a sale,” she said. “Now, I say ‘no’ with confidence, because my worth does not fluctuate based on someone else’s budget. “I know I’ve been hustled down because I’m a woman and because my category is woman-focused, and I know that’s been used against me,” she added. “I often went with what the customer wanted instead of what I needed. But that didn’t help my long-term growth. And the ones I lowered my price for? I don’t even work with them anymore.” Over time, Miele also learned to balance optimism with caution. Passion is a powerful motivator, but allowing passion to occlude warning signs can lead to setbacks. “Be cautious but courageous,” she advised. “It’s empowering to take risks, but don’t ignore red flags. As an optimist, I’ve overlooked warning signs and made decisions with my heart instead of my head. At times, it’s felt like I’ve had more losses than wins. Now, I run every idea through a business lens first, not just emotion. My whole business is built on emotion; that’s what greeting cards are all about. So I’ve learned to have someone on my team, a mentor or advisor, who helps me make the strategic decisions.” Cracking the capital code Funding remains one of the biggest hurdles for women in cannabis. Despite the industry’s tremendous growth, female founders still receive only a fraction of the investment male-led companies attract. But rather than letting financial barriers define them, women are finding creative ways to build and scale their businesses through bootstrapping, forming strategic partnerships, and tapping into women-led investment groups. “The industry still needs to make access to capital easier for women who want to start a business,” Nickus said. “Less than three percent of all cannabis financing goes to women-owned businesses. Women Grow CEO Dr. Chanda Macias talked about this at Women Grow’s 2025 Leadership Summit in February. While I’m a huge fan of bootstrapping and take that approach with most of my projects, the reality is that brands don’t get big without money.” The need for funding is about more than scaling. The female demographic is growing among cannabis consumers, and many actively seek products and retail establishments designed specifically for them. “In 2023, The Harris Poll conducted a survey that showed 91 percent of women who buy cannabis buy it at a licensed retailer, and nearly 37 percent of women use cannabis,” Nickus said. “Who better to tap this market segment than fully funded, women-owned businesses?” [image: Lesley Nickus, Scary Plants Foundation] *Lesley Nickus, Scary Plants Foundation* Even with funding, navigating market dynamics can prove challenging. “This industry is tough financially and you can only spend a dollar once, so make sure it’s going to places that will make you the most successful,” Brand warned. “There are a lot of different companies wanting you to spend with them, so make sure to partner with those aligned with your best interests.” The financial landscape is particularly fraught for women of color, according to Frederika Easley, president of the Minority Cannabis Business Association. “We talk about collaboration and inclusion, but structurally, many systems still reinforce separation,” she said. “Equity work means consistently breaking those silos down.” That work doesn’t stop at systems and structures. It also requires confronting who is centered in conversations about equity and inclusion. To effect real progress, according to Burnett, the industry as a whole—including women entrepreneurs—must move beyond performative allyship and embrace the full spectrum of identities that shape cannabis culture and consumption. “Although the cannabis industry talks a big talk about equity, mass incarceration, and inclusion, it’s all still capitalism and corporate culture,” she said. “You will have to fight hard for your humanity-centered values and beliefs. “We also need to stop supporting one kind of woman,” she continued. “In order to have the diversity the industry needs to do more than survive and actually thrive, we need to support all women, their ideas, their intuition, and intersectionality. Typically, the most successful and supported women in weed are white, cis, and heteronormative. That’s because they are most aligned with the identities of the men who run the industry. “If [industry members] actually stepped out of their circles of sameness, they would realize queer and melanated femme-forward folks are taking over as the largest consumers of the plant in the legal market, and they want to see themselves in the product assortment, leadership, and general conversation,” Burnett added. “Release the control and allow the industry to flourish organically. It will allow for more profit, creativity, and connection.” Unity is power Women in the industry generally believe in lifting up other women. Whether through mentorship, networking groups, or simply sharing resources, the sense of community is undeniable. In an industry that still presents significant challenges for those who identify as female, the collective effort makes a real impact. More women-led brands are emerging, women-owned dispensaries are thriving, and advocacy efforts continue to push for true equity in the space. But for progress to continue, the industry must do more than just acknowledge the challenges. It also must actively work to dismantle them. “The industry must continue to recognize women as equals and work toward placing more women in leadership roles,” Ellsworth said. “Gender disparities should be a thing of the past. It’s frustrating that we’re still having this conversation. We need to see more women in C-suite positions and in boardrooms — especially at publicly traded companies.” For many women, success requires more than just breaking barriers. They’re rewriting the rules. “Build your village. Relationships are everything,” Easley advised. “This is a marathon, not a sprint, and having a community of support, collaboration, and accountability makes an incredible amount of difference. Equity cannot happen in isolation.” Easley uses her platform at the Minority Cannabis Business Association to challenge the industry’s deeply ingrained biases, urging women to embrace their full selves in leadership. “Leadership has too often been defined through a patriarchal lens. Reject that,” she said. “There’s power in feminine energy, emotional intelligence, and holistic thinking. The cannabis plant itself reminds all of us that the best part is female. Bring your full range of experience to the table. That’s your edge.” Beyond leadership, Easley also highlighted the importance of setting boundaries—especially for women of color, whose efforts often are not given the weight or consideration they deserve. “Be about a necessary ‘no,’” she said. “Your time and labor will often be undervalued, so set boundaries. You may face unnecessary scrutiny when raising capital or entering partnerships. Know what is worth your energy and what is not.” [image: Frederika Easley] *Frederika Easley, Minority Cannabis Business Association* Miele said many women learn there is power in the journey to build a brand, even if—maybe especially if—the journey is onerous. Challenges help women build networks and teams that contribute to long-term success. “I’ve struggled in this area, but today I know the kind of people I want around me,” she said. “In the early days, I’d roll up my sleeves and do everything myself. That taught me a lot, but I wish I had slowed down and really taken the time to hire people I didn’t know—not just friends or people already in the industry. The right people come at the right time, and I’ve learned how important that is for long-term growth.” She also believes female-helmed ancillary businesses deserve more attention and support. “No one talks about how hard it is to get placements in stores,” she said. “There should be way more categories at industry award shows to highlight creativity and hustle outside of flower and product. Women are building ecosystems around this plant. It’s time for people to see us.” Despite the negatives, Miele remains optimistic about the industry’s growth potential and changing entrepreneur demographics, particularly as cannabis reaches new consumer bases. “With more legalization, the different kinds of people going to stores—especially the older crowd—is increasing,” she said. “The industry just needs to recognize consumers want [women-owned brands]. That’s why I go to trade shows. I’m the unexpected booth that brings joy, and the industry needs that.” Leaders across the space agree that change will come, thanks in large part to the power of the dollar in female consumers’ hands. “Women consumers are a large part of the market, and it’s important to make them feel seen and create products with their wants in mind,” Brand said. “We have dispensary partners who highlight women-owned brands in-store, and we love participating in Women Weed Wednesdays, but it would be great to see more dispensaries create opportunities for brands to reach consumers.” The message is clear: Women are not content merely to participate in the industry as minor characters. They are determined to shape the story. Through leadership, community, and unwavering determination, they continue to work toward developing a sector that is more diverse, inclusive, and equitable. ------------------------------ Answering the Big Questions About Women in Weed 1. What challenges do women face in the cannabis industry? Women in cannabis face significant challenges including access to capital, compensation disparity, underrepresentation in leadership roles, and navigating a male-dominated industry. Many also confront implicit bias and a lack of mentorship opportunities. 2. How are women overcoming barriers in cannabis entrepreneurship? Women are overcoming barriers by trusting their intuition, building purpose-driven businesses, forming strategic alliances, participating in accelerator programs, and leaning on strong networks for support and mentorship. 3. Why is equity important in the cannabis industry? Equity is vital because the cannabis industry was built on the backs of communities disproportionately harmed by prohibition. Ensuring women and minorities have access to opportunities, funding, and leadership roles is essential for building a truly inclusive market. 4. What role does intuition play in women’s cannabis leadership? Many women leaders credit their success to trusting their intuition, especially when vetting deals, managing teams, or developing products. This inner guidance, paired with strategic business thinking, helps them stay aligned with their values and avoid costly missteps. 5. How are women-owned cannabis brands impacting the market? Women-owned brands are helping shape consumer trends by creating wellness-focused, inclusive products that resonate with diverse audiences—especially women, who now represent a major share of cannabis consumers. Their presence is also pushing dispensaries and distributors to rethink visibility and shelf space. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.

A key Pennsylvania senator is working with lawmakers to develop a marijuana legalization bill before the budget deadline. The senator stated they are getting close to passing a bill and want to ensure it is equitable. Other lawmakers are also emphasizing the revenue-generating potential of legalization. While some are hopeful, the Senate Majority Leader said legalization will not be included in the 2026 budget. < Back Pennsylvania Lawmakers Near Deal on Cannabis Legalization Ahead of Budget Deadline Jun 24, 2025 Source: Staff Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Pennsylvania is finally feeling the heat, and it sounds like a legalization deal might actually be on the horizon. Senator Sharif Street and a bipartisan crew are pushing hard as the state’s budget deadline looms, making it clear that the time to end prohibition is now. What’s really encouraging for the community is the strong focus on social equity, expunging past records, and making sure small business owners aren't locked out of the industry. There’s even talk of finally allowing medical patients to grow their own medicine at home, which is a massive step for true plant medicine access. While there’s still some back-and-forth about whether the state or private businesses should run the shops, everyone agrees PA is tired of losing revenue to neighbors like Jersey and Maryland. This matters to regular tokers because it means an end to risky border runs and the start of a local, regulated market built on fairness. If they pull this off, PA could finally transition from a prohibition state to a community-focused cannabis hub. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Bomb Popz Infused Pre-Roll - Fade Co.
