On International Women’s Day, becoming even more knowledgeable and capable under the dull pressure of consistent underestimation will continue to be the vibe 🤘

For Women’s History Month, we’ve been using our socials to feature some of the amazing women who make and share their work with us here at P+L. We wanted to do a little roundup of some of the local (and local-ish) female talent that we’ve featured this month. Many of these women may not have started their businesses with the intention of being part of the cannabis industry, but since the beginning they have been nothing but supportive of P+L and enthusiastic about sharing their talents with us, which is a bigger deal than they may even know!

Nothing makes me prouder than working with this team to create a work life that is, as much as we can make it, fair, comfy, and rewarding. A core piece of me and Jenna’s feminist project will always be not making a group of women’s lives worse in all the ways a bad workplace can.

The government of Canada is currently conducting a review on cannabis legalization and is calling on the public for their unique perspectives. An online questionnaire is currently available for all to fill out, closing November 21, 2022. We strongly encourage all of our customers who have any concerns or recommendations for reform within the Cannabis Act to use this opportunity to have their voices heard. 

Now that 2021 is officially over, we thought we should take some time to look back on everything that went down. 2021 has been filled with challenges at Prairie and Luna, and it has been so humbling and rewarding to watch our team come together and figure things out day by day. I smoke a lot of weed but I’m going to try my best to recap.

Long before modern scientists could prove the pain-relieving powers of cannabis, early peoples had BEEN using this plant to help ease pain during childbirth. Ancient Egyptian medical practitioners saw cannabis as medicine for pain relief during childbirth; Roman elites also used cannabis to alleviate labor pains during the period between 600 BCE to 500 CE as well.
