Weed has an unending list of aliases, such as cannabis, marijuana, pot, kush, trees, and sticky icky, just to name a few. Whatever you choose to call it, this amazing plant has evolved alongside humans, providing us with medicine, leisure, and economy. We’ve witnessed a huge shift in the way we approach this unique industry, however, there is still a lot of work to be done to destigmatize cannabis.
I’m the CEO and Founder of High Haven Cannabis, a minority-owned, woman-led cannabis multi-state company. At High Haven, we admire the cannabis plant and want to bring universal acceptance of its consumption and use. Normalizing cannabis has always been my guiding light. I’ve had a long-standing relationship with cannabis, both personally and professionally, and watching it be disrespected and shackled for decades has been a painful experience for many of us who understand the benefits and grace this plant brings to our lives.
