I’ve seen a lot of posts and articles lately of women in cannabis supporting one another, highlighting their accomplishments and the impact they are making in the industry. Nothing gets me through a hard day more than seeing us lift each other up!
This is a tough space. We all face challenges from extreme regulatory burdens, businesses being crippled by tax implications, the SAFE banking saga, rescheduling vs de-scheduling, a struggling economy, people, processes and technologies that are still evolving in what is very much so a young, maturing industry. It’s long hours, it’s dedication, it’s grinding, and it’s also having the passion to be a part of something bigger.
But for women in cannabis, we are not just fighting for our seat at the table, it’s an ongoing battle once we’re there to have our voices heard and respected. Women accounted for almost 48% of new customers over the last few years in the industry, yet women are grossly underrepresented in leadership positions at the companies that power and participate in this space. We are operating in a male dominated world where women are constantly having to reprove our worth just to be a part of the “Boys Club”.
I have said this before and will say it again, we have just one opportunity to shape this industry, and with that comes the tremendous responsibility of building it the right way.
So I ask, both women and men in cannabis- continue to encourage companies to place women in influential and leadership roles. Support women owned and operated businesses. Listen to the the ideas and feedback women provide. But most importantly (for the men), acknowledge that we are up against something you may not understand. Be kind, be aware, and let’s work together to make things better.
May I remind you, while the male plant has its place, it is the female plant that pads your pockets! 😉
