Women, it’s been rumored, are well poised to dominate the legal marijuana industry. \u00a0One in particular, Ms. Greta Carter of Washington state, now owns what one Newsweek article<\/a> is calling “one of the biggest and oldest legal recreational marijuana farms in the world.”<\/p>\n

Life Gardens is Carter’s cannabis farm. \u00a0It’s vision, according to its website<\/a>, is to cultivate “top shelf cannabis at an affordable price.” \u00a0Boasting over 70 strains of marijuana flowers, Life Gardens is positioning\u00a0itself, admittedly, in the same fashion a new brand of wine might. \u00a0Carter’s corporate background has no doubt lent itself well to creating a flagship grow facility and recreational weed product line.<\/p>\n

Greta Carter & The Cannabis Training Institute<\/h2>\n

Greta Carter may also be credited with launching The Cannabis Training Institute<\/a>, which offers online learning in all things weed related. \u00a0Trainings range in specifications from business policy to patient care to dispensary technician certifications that promote community safety.<\/p>\n

Carter’s pursuits, including The Cannabis Training Institute, are aggressive for-profit enterprises and openly raising funds<\/a> and awareness towards the end of\u00a0what many are calling marijuana prohibition. \u00a0 She’s a mother of 5. \u00a0She’s an expert in marijuana reform and legislation; she contributed to Washington’s Initiative 502. \u00a0And she’s our spotlight of the week.<\/p>\n
