Cannaweek - Cannabis Intelligence

Empowerment of Women in Cannabis (Gia Morón )

Episode Summary

This week on CannaWeek, we are joined by President of Women Grow, Gia Morón, and New Frontier Data's Chief Knowledge Officer, John Kagia. Gia and John dive into a discussion around the recent report that women are underrepresented in Nevada's cannabis industry, and why that might be reflected in the industry as a whole. Gia shares insight from her experiences as to what can be done to better align overall gender representation in the industry down the road. Gia and John share their thoughts on another recent survey that shows just how popular legal cannabis is - and why that might be.

Episode Notes

This week's discussion focuses on women and minorities being underrepresented in Nevada's cannabis industry, and within the industry as a whole. The first official demographic survey of cannabis businesses in Nevada shows that women and minorities account for a disproportionately small percentage of the local cannabis industry. Our guests dive into the ways this underrepresentation can be corrected as the industry becomes more mainstream. Our guests share their thoughts on why legal cannabis came back more popular than Joe Biden, $15 minimum wage or rejoining the Climate Agreement in another recent survey.
