McALLEN, Texas | You into weed, ese? You look like you are, like always. Puffing it, bro? Oh, Hell, yeah. You border rat, you. But do check out the wife's doings. She may be into it, too.
Women and Marijuana.
Never the two have met, or, well, only if you follow and believe the news media. They like to portray the use of "weed" as being a sport mainly for males. No so much anymore.
This from a report in The Los Angeles Times: [ . . . Three years ago, Latinas in Cannabis spearheaded International Latinas in Cannabis Day on Sept. 30, marking the midpoint of Hispanic Heritage Month. This year, they hosted the inaugural Latinas in Cannabis Summit, gathering cannabis enthusiasts in the backlot of a soon-to-be Echo Park dispensary.
Tickets for the summit sold out within days, emphasizing its popularity among the community of "CannaJefas" and "MotaMamis" (Canna-bosses and Weed-babes). Those lucky enough to snag a ticket spent the day engaged in workshops and panel discussions with Latina leaders in the cannabis industry.
Susie Plascencia, co-owner of L.A.-based glass bong company Mota Glass, wanted a space to uplift her business as well as the work of other Latina entrepreneurs in the male-dominated cannabis industry.
In 2020, she founded Latinas in Cannabis, an Instagram account meant to empower Latina-owned small businesses and connect them with other entrepreneurs in the field.
"We really wanted to create that space that was missing in this industry, topics that speak to the Latina and cannabis experience," Plascencia said.
Three years after Latinas in Cannabis launched, Plascencia believes they are making history with the summit, calling it "the first of its kind."
"Aside from it being a professional cannabis industry event, it’s also a sesh. You can also hit the Mota glass bong and take a joint outside on the patio," Plascencia said. ]
We've never indulged, although we really could not care less if you - or your wife - do it. The world is the playpen and God put you here for a reason - to do good or bad, love or hate, enjoy or disdain.
Women in cannabis seems a natural, wouldn't you say?
And, really, why not women?...

ReplyDeleteFor you football fans, Oklahoma nipped Texas 34-30 in the Red River Rivalry today at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. I thought the Longhorns looked listless for a good portion of the game, taking the lead late in the 4th quarter before OU drove the field to score the winning TD with 16 seconds left in the game. [Longhorns and Cowboys - they'll always let you down ]...
ReplyDeleteWatched it on my laptop at Starbucks. It was one of those things. Sooners wanted it more.
DeleteWhy does this stuff never happen in the valley?
