Women Cultivating Success Conversations with Women in the Cannabis Industry
2023-11-15 18:30 - 20:00 | Virtual
We talk amongst our women colleagues in the cannabis industry about the obstacles and inequity we encounter. This is an experience shared by the majority of women in the industry.
WCCC’s goal is to open up the Conversation to women across the country to begin working on solutions, and a future with more representation in C-Suite position and business ownership.
An MJBizDaily report highlights that only 19% of cannabis businesses across Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada and Ohio are owned by women. Massachusetts, in particular, lags behind with a meager 5% ownership.
A 2021 report published by the National Cannabis Industry Association and The Arcview Group found that only 8% of cannabis CEOs are women. In a 2019 MJBiz Daily report 37% of the executive positions in the industry were held by women. In a 2021 report that number fell to 22.1%.
As the legal cannabis industry grows, the rate at which women are entering the industry is now declining. More women are leaving the cannabis industry.
Is there a future for women in the cannabis industry?
Founded in 2011 in Denver, Colorado, the Cannabis Chamber of Commerce evolved into the Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce on January 01, 2016.
The Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce’s goal is to connect companies and entrepreneurs in the cannabis marketplace with their consumer base to build a strong and stable cannabis industry and cannabis community.

Join us for a screening of Cannabis + Creativity, a documentary by Elana Frankel
Join us for a screening of CANNABIS + CREATIVITY a documentary short followed by a talkback with filmmaker Elana Frankel
Cannabis + Creativity is a captivating short documentary that delves into the lives of six creative individuals who harness the power of cannabis to fuel their artistic expression. Through intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes glimpses into their creative processes, viewers are invited to explore the profound connection between cannabis and inspiration. From composers to musicians, poets and designers, each participant shares their unique perspective on how this plant has become an indispensable tool in their creative toolkit. However, amidst this exploration, the documentary introduces an unexpected contrast: a skeptical grandmother who represents the generational divide on cannabis use. Her thoughtful skepticism provides a thought-provoking counterpoint to the enthusiastic creatives, sparking a lively and insightful conversation about the role of cannabis in the world of art and innovation. Cannabis + Creativity offers a nuanced and eye-opening exploration of the intersection between cannabis and creativity while shedding light on the broader societal conversation surrounding its use.
Elana Frankel is the founding editor in chief of Women and Weed magazine and author of the book Women and Weed. She produced and directed the short documentary Cannabis + Creativity and consults as an advisor, creative director and activist in the cannabis community.
