The simultaneous rise of cannabis and feminism is as timely as it is symbolic. These are 10 women in cannabis to follow on Instagram who are helping to keep the momentum.
The cannabis industry is burgeoning simultaneously with the rise of women—a coincidence as symbolic as it is timely. But like all tectonic, cultural shifts, the momentum only continues if the push for reform becomes undeniably and irrevocably stronger than doubt or apathy. Cannabis prohibition reached a tipping point when the lack of information and blatant fear-mongering collided with consistently positive anecdotal evidence from the public. This eventually narrowed the choices for seemingly unshakable institutions and systems: adapt to the zeitgeist or be left behind. The same is true for the rise and recognition of feminism, and ultimately, the incremental shift of cultural consciousness and equilibrium of humankind.
Both women and cannabis have long and convoluted pasts with very current relevance, such that our understanding of what power consists of and how it’s assumed continues to be reframed; and how courage by a single person to share their story and challenge what is, feels, as it so often does, like a referendum for all.
Here are 10 women continuing to plant the seeds, spark conversation, and smoke in style—and who, undoubtedly, will help shape the year to come in the world of cannabis and beyond.
