Mary Jane Diaries: Weed Reads

Hey hey my Mary Jane loving ladies <3.

I have been MIA lately, and may be for the next few weeks as my sister is about to have a BABY. Which is like… majorly a huge deal & I am kind just planning to be in baby lala land in the very near near future (like any second now!).

Which is a weird segue to now talk about smoking weed, but OH WELL. I have been doing so much research on the cannabis industry lately **wink wink** & have found some great articles that I had to share.

As you will soon see- WOMEN + WEED is where it’s at, so light a joint & get to reading. x, E

1. The Face of the Modern Cannabis Consumer is Young & Rich: Did you know? Cause I certainly didn’t! Kinda shocking- yah? According to this article, the new weed buyer could care less about the price as long as it’s good weed (I feel ya on that one- no use buying shake!). Because majority of the people buying marijuana these days is using it for anxiety/depression, they are willing to pay more to feel better.

These new age cannabis users are sophisticated & professional, with money to spend (65% of cannabis users make more than $75k a year!!). Clearly- this is good for the industry & it is also a really good time to enter the industry. Ninety percent of these sophisticated weed smokers say that weed is a part of their daily wellness routine…. so the spending won’t be stopping anytime soon.

2. 6 Reasons Smoking Weed Can be a Feminist Act: hell yessss ladies! Weed + women is where it’s at. They are leading in the reform of Mary Jane, ruling on the business side of Cannabis, & just killing it with creative ideas when using cannabis.

I am obsessed w/ this article (& Broad City) so check it out.

3. Women are Replacing Wine w/ Weed: according to this article, wine is taking a serious backseat to marijuana & I couldn’t agree more. All my non weed smoking friends settle down the night w/ a glass of wine, but now that cannabis is so much more readily available, ladies have been making the switch & getting on my personal wind down program. The article really sums it up best…

“In states where weed is legal, the idea of a boozy nightcap is a thing of the past. It’s a puff before bed to sleep like a baby and wake up refreshed and clear as fuck.”

6. Meet the Power Puff Girls (aka the DOPE GIRLS LA): These girls are the jam. I am kind of obsessed w/ them rn. It all started as a photo project, documenting the containers people used for their weed, & eventually evolved into a zine- Dope Girls. The zine was basically created to show you can get high, & get shit done. I just ordered my first copy & can’t wait to get it in the mail.

Next, they took it even further & opened their own, very cute/girly/fun, collective- Dope Girls LA. Hey- did we mention women are slaying the cannabis industry? OH YA- we did.
