Set in California, the cannabis documentary \u201cLady Buds\u201d focuses on six women as they use their business and agricultural skills to \u201ccome out of the shadows\u201d and launch a legal marijuana business after state voters make recreational cannabis legal.<\/p>\n

Directed by Chris J. Russo, the documentary enjoys a 100 percent rating<\/a> on Rotten Tomatoes based on eight reviews. Critics praised the film for taking a clear, no-nonsense look at the Golden State\u2019s cannabis industry, with a focus on northern California<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, the documentary\u2019s success has led to two spinoff projects. One is a scripted comedy feature. The other is a non-scripted reality series.<\/p>\n

The Documentary Starts Streaming in March<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Released in theaters in 2021, \u201cLady Buds\u201d is available for streaming on Starz starting March 1. It follows a group of diverse women, including LatinX, African American, LGBTQ and seniors. The movie focuses on the year before and after cannabis became legal for recreational use in California in 2016.<\/p>\n

Characters include a 71-year-old retired Catholic school principal, a second-generation cannabis farmer and The Bud Sisters, a pair of women who met 40 years ago in college and now sell a hemp-based pain relief<\/a> salve.<\/p>\n

For the scripted comedy feature, Russo will produce along with Alissa Norby and Pippa Lambert. The idea has been described as \u201cin the vein of \u2018Bridesmaids\u2019 with a diverse cast,\u201d according<\/a> to Deadline.<\/p>\n

Lambert, a former WME and Endeavor Content producer, told Deadline, \u201cWomen may not be the face of cannabis, but they\u2019ve always been the backbone of the culture.\u201d She added, \u201cThese growers are as dynamic as they are diverse, and they\u2019re truly inspiring. I\u2019m thrilled to be bringing their story, a true and still unfolding David and Goliath tale for our times, to life on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mention of David and Goliath refers to the central conflict of the documentary which revolves around smaller cannabis farmers forced to compete with larger corporations.<\/p>\n

Unscripted Show Focuses on Seniors and Cannabis<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The unscripted show will follow Sue Taylor, the 71-year-old from the documentary who opens a dispensary that serves seniors. Taylor, also known as Mama Sue, focuses her business on giving seniors access to cannabis and information about its benefits through her wellness groups. Seniors, who use cannabis for pain management, better sleep and other health-related issues, are increasingly becoming buyers of medical marijuana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier to know that my film Lady Buds is inspiring adaptations that will allow me to continue to support and tell the stories of these courageous, pioneering women,\u201d Russo said, according to Deadline.<\/p>\n

Marijuana-centered television shows and movies have become bigger as the legalization movement has grown. Mike Tyson has pitched a TV show about his cannabis farm. The 420 TV<\/a> site focuses on all marijuana-related content. The \u201cMarijuana Show\u201d\u00a0 is like \u201cShark Tank\u201d for the cannabis industry. And \u201cCooked With Cannabis\u201d on Netflix focuses on tasty ways to work marijuana into cooking meals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
