A Woman's Place Is in the Grow House

• fee.org by Brittany Hunter

Marijuana plants can be either male or female. Only female plants can yield the "bud" that both black and legal markets seek. It is poetic, then, that women are dominating the legalized cannabis industry.

A Green Frontier

You might not associate the divine feminine with something as "unsavory" as smoking weed. But as the old Reefer Madness era comes to an end, it has become apparent to most of society that everyone knows someone who smokes weed and – spoiler alert! – they are not all lazy and living on their parents' couch.

As the medicinal properties of the plant continue to become more known, it is also becoming commonplace to meet normal, successful people who partake of the plant because it calms their anxiety, helps them sleep, or even prevents seizures. As this has helped normalize cannabis use, it is also paving the way for a new green economy whose possibilities are almost without limits.

Dispensaries, grow houses, and supply stores are just a few of the businesses that have been and will continue to be developed as legalization spreads throughout the country, but this doesn't even include the possibility of hemp and all the products derived therein, not to mention the various medical uses that can exist separate from the recreation world.
