(Women Grow Facebook)

Women interested in getting involved in the medical marijuana industry will meet tonight in Phoenix. Women Grow launched its Phoenix chapter last month.

Betty Aldworth is a founding member of Women Grow, which started in Colorado. She’s also the Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy. She said Women Grow works to empower women working in the cannabis industry wherever it’s legal.

For another perspective on women in the legal cannabis industry, we turn now to Sue Sisley. She researches the effect of medical marijuana on veterans with PTSD, although she’s still looking for a home for that research after her contract was terminated by the University of Arizona.

Sisley said the industry, including the research side, is male dominated but has gotten a little less so as marijuana has become less controversial.
