The Jane Sessions Vol. 1
Black in Cannabis
A virtual gathering to discuss wellness, what it means to participate and make money in the industry while being black.
Wellness
We advocate for cannabis as an important component for a healthy lifestyle. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD and THC actually make the herb a great remedy for many ailments affecting our community. The side effects of cannabis are minimal and non life threatening. Cannabis has been proven to help ease stress and anxiety which are issues affecting the black community daily.
Lifestyle
Many of us have been cannabis consumers our whole lives. Over time the ways cannabis has been used, changed. For daily or regular users, we know cannabis is a lifestyle. We promote how to make cannabis work for your life. How can cannabis improve your life? What strains can help motivate you or become part of your nightly routine? What is something you already do that you could add cannabis to and profit from?
Family + Cannabis
There are many taboos, some with warrant others made up from outside forces that created a negative mindset around cannabis. With that and the criminalization of cannabis in the the black community, we have been on the outskirts of the conversation. There are so many ways that our community has not taken advantage of the medicine and patron that cannabis provides, this discussion is so imperative so that we can have equity in the industry and build generational wealth within our community.
Business & Social Equity
These are unprecedented times and as many of us search or financial solutions, cannabis continues to boom and be profitable. Cannabis businesses were even deemed essential business and have still been operating. We are focusing on ways in which black people can engage in those profits. What jobs aren't being done? What skills and resources do we have access to that can help us get our foot in the door and thrive?
