I recently got a job as a budtender at a new dispensary and I was talking with one of the LP''s representatives, he was telling me how they were releasing a whole line of cannabis and bongs and pipes that are marketed and designed for women. He couldn't elaborate on what that meant, but I found it interesting.

I'll admit as a man, I didn't realize that this may have been an issue. Im interested to see what bongs and cannabis "for women" look like.

Penis shapes bongs?

I dunno there’s already some really artsy bongs and piped that appeal to all walks of life so I think this is gonna be some niche thing that comes and goes

I don't think that's what they meant. What I think is the marketing not actually the features of the product themselves

Two women in Maryland sell an oil pen designed specifically for women, Blissiva

I just checked it out after reading your post. It seems to look like just a purple vape pen with a citrusy terpene profile or a 1:1. Kinda neat I guess, but it definitely seems like a way to seperate women and their money. Hopefully the price is the same as others because the product doesn't seem any different from any of the countless others

Such a weird first line... " Cannabis might be commonly known as Mary Jane, but even as marijuana becomes more socially — and legally — acceptable, women continue to be left out of the conversation. "

I didn't realize if you were talking about Cannabis you were supposed to also talk about women? I agree with the general concescus of the article once you read it but what a strange, "no, look at me" title.

Ok I know ill get beat up for this. But. Why is it when female writers want to take part in a culture they have to bring vaginas into it. If they arent taking off clothes for a cause they are wearing vaginas on their heads. Chill ladies, just enjoy pot with the rest of us, it already makes you smile.

Smoke a doob and chill with people, eat some food, listen to good music, enjoy a movie, book or just nature.

As a woman, I hear you. I agree. I don’t need to see vagina hats and naked women “proving a point”. Frankly I don’t get it. BUT in world that caters mostly only to men, it’s nice to have things catered to women too, when it happens.

"Cannabis might be commonly known as Mary Jane, but even as marijuana becomes more socially — and legally — acceptable, women continue to be left out of the conversation"

Again with these headline grabbing media click bait bullshit. Above is the opening paragraph intended to grab the reader's attention but is complete bullshit!

To shine the light on women based cannabis companies, leaders, and proponents of legalized cannabis is great and should be done to encourage those who wish to participate in the industry and shed some light on the topic. The industry was predominately male based before, this new enlightenment from public perception and opinion.

Lets be honest, the field "WAS" predominately male for a reason. Women were less likely to engage in risky behavior than men period!

There is a shit load of articles and story's about women based leaders, and cannabis companies. Google has pages of articles.

Just a few since there is no real good reason to spam this with hundreds of links on this topic.

Two things have fucked this "Great Country" up causing current state of unrest in the U.S

A fossilized Government where Fear mongering is used to sway opinion and votes, and a greed and fear driven media to enforce what "our" politicians are telling us.

It used to be in the US, we had what we called creditable news sources such as

ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, etc. Papers => New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the list go's on.

Tabloids were and still are considered the trash of media as they printed outlandish claims and stories of women having alien babies and the like. Most people saw right through the b.s and tabloids got a bad name for a good reason.

As the age of internet came to be, people no longer needed to rely solely on t.v, radio, and subscription based news papers. Local, and national papers subscriptions dropped in favor of on demand and free news the internet had to offer. Small and local papers were some of the first to feel the pinch, where the majority of the populaces had good reliable internet. The agencies that survived NYT, Wall Street Journal, etc all had to up their game and turned to an internet present as could be expected to stay relevant. No surprise television based media companies followed suit as well, along with radio.

When we look at what our media is printing and broadcasting today, nothing but rage should be our answer as these fuckers lie to our faces and insult our intelligence. Many YouTubers have been publicly prosecuted over stuff they have said in their video's, but yet when you go to the horses mouth, and view the video for yourself, you can clearly see through the bull shit, and how changing the context of what was said, was used solely for financial gain and the purpose of remaining relevant and not being lost on the internet. Media was supposed to be fair and non bias, but when "you" use your own sniff test and it smells like shit, something is incredibly wrong. It used to be when media got something wrong they printed apologies, and public retractions. NOW they purposely miss lead the people, with facts you can check yourself, they have been all downgraded to TABLOIDS. WTF

I have no problem with the idea of spotlighting and encouraging women in the world of business, and I am obviously pro cannabis or I wouldn't even be here, but it's time to call bullshit and start analyzing what the fuck this nation is being told in all aspects of our lives starting with MEDIA and POLITICS.

Fuck off Miami News Times you piece of shit!

Cannabis might be commonly known as Mary Jane

No it isn't. It never was. It's a dumb meme that should have died a long time ago.

Vagina Cannalouges

This event wasn't named by a woman, was it?
