Cannabis Feminist, a community focused on women empowering in the marijuana industry, has dedicated June to “coming out” as cannabis users and activists.
They’re posting stories of finding happiness and healing through cannabis on their Instagram account and blog, with testimonials ranging from how it helped with anxiety, illness, or just leading a more content life. Some of the women are simply new enthusiasts, and others are seasons veterans to the industry.

The project is dedicated to Tahnee Shah, an advocate for medical marijuana and inspiration for Cannabis Feminist. Medical marijuana saved Shah’s life when she was extremely ill from chemotherapy treatments. Although Shah is now gone, her memory lives through the work Cannabis Feminist does.
As Jessica Assaf, one of the founders of Cannabis Feminist writes, on her blog about cannabis “coming out” month:
The minute I arrived back in California, I started meeting likeminded women who are just as passionate about cannabis as I am. And when I met Tahnee Shah, everything clicked. For Tahnee, cannabis was always a medicine. I realized that cannabis was and is a medicine for me, too. Cannabis is my therapist, my best friend feeding me confidence without asking for anything in return, and my platform to share my truth. Here I am, a few months later, with a budding business and an electric community of Cannabis Feminists giving me the love and light I have been looking for my whole life. Thank you, cannabis, for everything, but especially for Tahnee.
