10 Women-Owned Cannabis Brands You Should Know

Women’s History Month is the perfect time to reflect and honor women’s social, economic, cultural, and political achievements. Constantly fighting to combat the ever-present social injustices against them, women now make up a significant portion of business executives in all sectors. According to an American Express-sponsored survey from 2018, women own 40% of all businesses, with a strong presence in the lifestyle industry.

Make no mistake, there’s still so much more work to be done to ensure equity exists within our industry. But, the cannabis industry has provided many opportunities for female entrepreneurs to thrive, especially with the ever-increasing demand for progressive products and brands. Without further ado, here are 10 women-owned cannabis brands we love and are honored to carry at The Higher Path.

LEUNE

LEUNE believes that being in the cannabis industry comes with a platform – an ability to use their voice and help bring awareness to social injustice and inspire true, positive change.

Over the years, LEUNE has partnered with social justice projects such as the Floret Coalition and the Last Prisoner Project. As LEUNE puts it, “There is a mountain of work to be done, and beyond the fad buzzwords and headlines of the week, we’re here for as long as it takes.” Learn more about LEUNE here.
