Women Create Their Own Opportunities In New York’s Growing Weed Industry

Women Create Their Own Opportunities In New York's Growing Weed Industry


 

On a recent Thursday evening in downtown Manhattan, nearly 50 women and a few men, ranging from millennials to baby boomers, gathered in a sleek co-working space to talk about weed.

Each month, a different group of enterprising women gives a presentation at  Women Grow, a national organization founded in Denver in 2014 that connects, educates, and empowers women in the cannabis industry. Before and after the feature presentation, women have a chance to network with other aspiring entrepreneurs or industry veterans, fostering connections that may help with their own canna-businesses.

The group at the most recent meeting included lawyers, nurse practitioners and an edibles chef,and the presenting company was AnnaBís, a line of luxury accessories to help women keep their medicinal cannabis products safe, secure, odor contained, and separate from everything else in their purse.
