Even though cannabis has been used for centuries to ease menstrual cramps, improve mood, and soothe numerous health conditions, modern politics and stigma have tried to shut women out of the picture.
Since cannabis began to get legalized across the country, the industry has been primarily dominated by white men as the main profiteers and the primary targets of marketing campaigns. American cannabis culture as a whole is presented through a typically male lens.
However, female-centric cannabis brands are numerous, and gaining popularity as more and more women embrace cannabis as a healthy remedy for mental health disorders and menstrual pain, as well as the joys of recreational use.
