Following the widely praised decision in 2016 to legalize cannabis in California, six courageous women emerge from the shadows to enter the new commercial industry. At every turn these trailblazers defy stereotypes, while revealing that cannabis is much more than a plant. It’s a community.

TALKBACK DETAILS

Join Kween and fellow panelists as we discuss the impact of stigma in the medical and recreational cannabis space. The African Diaspora, Caribbean and the global majority are working passionately to end stigma, reduce harm, educate and see a change to cannabis convictions and amnesty.
