10 Reasons to Watch “Mary Janes: The Women of Weed”

It’s the end of a long day and you’re looking to unwind. You turn on your screen and start scrolling through your choices.  “Do you want something about womxn and directed by a female filmmaker?” you ask yourself.  “A documentary could work,” you say, “but do you want something uplifting, socially relevant, funny? What about all of the above?”

When you find yourself pondering all of the above, type in: Mary Janes: The Women of Weed.

The award-winning documentary is inspiring, revolutionary, and warm all at the same time. It features powerful interviews with 40 womxn leading the cannabis industry and is directed by a social justice filmmaker. But those are not the reasons to watch it.
