This event brought together professionals and community from all sectors of the industry to show their support for a local cannabis network. Most notably the women of Wisconsin are coming together for cannabis.

Wisconsin currently has medical cannabis legislation pending a public hearing, but some advocates are disheartened by the current cannabis political climate around cannabis. Legislations to legalize cannabis has been introduced to the state’s representatives, annually for at least a decade.

By creating social, interactive and creative environments with a focus on plant-based medicine, for women to explore personal and professional growth in a space away from the male gaze.

No Open Legal Consumption Venue is New

While, traditionally, Tokeativity events are consumption-based and feature sponsor brands on the venue site. However, because cannabis has yet to make it to the legal books in WI, this chapter has to re-think their foundational consumption focused efforts. In addition to the illegal status of cannabis over 0.30% THC, the Wisconsin chapter has also expressed difficulty in seeking venues that would potentially allow consumption of cannabis under 0.30% THC.

The cannabis industry is the one industry that has started from the ground up since women have entered the workforce. Cannabis medicine is produced from the female plant, in addition, the holistic nature of plant medicine is something that entices feminine involvement.

Turn’s out despite the varying legal status’ of the plant, women across the globe are coming together to support the biodiversity of this sacred cannabis plant.
