If the past three years of chaos have demonstrated anything, it’s that there is never a good, appropriate, or convenient time for anything anymore. So, here goes nothing. First of all, happy International Women’s Day. This started as a gender equality labor rights movement at the turn of the 20th century and is now a globally recognized holiday commemorating the ongoing fight for equity, while addressing the socioeconomic, cultural and political achievements of women. This includes the cannabis industry, where a substantial number of pioneering women are carving out their spaces within yet another male-dominated industry. For International Women’s Day, I am committing to make continuous efforts in this newsletter to celebrate these women throughout the year beyond one day or month of recognition.
