San Francisco Feb 16th, 2015

Women are poised to become the dominant cannabis purchasers. Beyond the fact that women control the majority of household spending, women are more likely to be treated for a chronic illness, try alternative health care and be responsible for their family’s health & wellness decisions. Women already lead in the purchasing of organic foods, wellness services such as yoga, and non-pharmaceutical health care. They are often cited as the deciding vote in legalization as well.
With all these market trends colliding, cannabis entrepreneurs & investors are missing a market opportunity if they don’t address women in their products and their marketing. Women Grow has put together a special event for cannabis entrepreneurs & investors of all genders to learn about the needs of female consumers and experience female-centric cannabis brands. Please join us for a one-time-only education and networking event.
