The cannabis industry continues to grow at a rapid pace as 18 states in the U.S. have now legalized its use. On a global scale, innovative brands are revolutionizing the way we think about weed, while working overtime to remove the stigma surrounding cannabis use once and for all so we can all enjoy its healing benefits.
Women in Weed Are Killing the Cannabis Game
It’s no surprise that many of these game-changing weed brands are women-owned and operated as gender dynamics continue to shift in the business landscape. In fact, according to a 2019 study by Marijuana Business Daily, 37% of cannabis executives are female compared to just 21% in other industries.
With captivating branding, science-backed products and positive messaging around weed, there’s no doubt women-owned cannabis brands are making a big impact on the industry. Here are five female-founded weed companies that are killing the cannabis game:
1. EstroHaze
Founded by Kali Wilder, Sirita Wright and Safon Floyd, EstroHaze is on a mission to raise awareness about the lifestyle benefits of cannabis. The women launched their online educational portal to inspire and uplift people interested in learning more about cannabis-infused products, practices and philosophies. EstroHaze offers tips, tricks and entertainment for integrating cannabis into your life in creative and sustainable ways, while building a supportive community for like-minded people.
2. Miss Grass
Miss Grass is a modern brand that offers CBD and THD products to elevate your lifestyle while providing education on the science, history and culture of cannabis.

The female-founded company does it all through the lens of conscious consumption and creating an equitable industry for everyone. Kate Miller is the co-founder and CEO of Miss Grass. Miller and her business partner, Anna Duckworth, stated on the Miss Grass website that the cannabis industry has the power to shift the political fabric of the U.S. by “addressing and repairing harms caused by the War on Drugs.”

5. Oracle Wellness Co.
Oracle Wellness Co. was founded by Megon Dee, a chef who moved to Portland in 2016 in the hopes of navigating the legal cannabis industry using her culinary skills. She founded the company to help people cope with conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD using cannabinoids and terpenoids. Today, Dee continues to act as a passionate advocate and educator with the ultimate goal of legalizing and normalizing cannabis use across the U.S. “Working with this sacred plant has been the most defining and important highlight of my career as it has aligned me with my purpose,” she stated on her website. “As a black queer woman and war on drugs veteran, I am a pioneer of futuristic cannabis, legalization, and normalization developing globally.”
