Interview With Jane West

Interview with The Jane West! How did we hear about her? I picked up a pre-filled pipe in a Fluent Cannabis Care Dispensary! Who is Jane West? She has been featured in the Jan 2019 InStyle magazine and  included West in its second annual Badass 50 Women list

In  2013, West, a married mother of two living in a Denver suburb, created the pseudonym Jane West to anonymously host monthly bring-your-own-marijuana dinner parties. In  2014, she lost her job as a corporate event planner when her employer spotted her smoking vaporized marijuana on CNBC as part of its coverage of Colorado's legalization of cannabis. Adopting West as her full-time professional name, she continued to host marijuana-friendly gatherings through her production company Edible Events. 

In 2014, West raised $42,000 in seed money from 14 cannabis businesswomen and co-founded Women Grow in Denver with Jazmin Hupp. 

West's brand is built on a platform combining her passions for cannabis and women in business. West's mission is not confined to normalizing cannabis. As an advocate and trailblazer for female entrepreneurs, West has said her goal is "making the pot business women-friendly".

West has volunteered with the Women's Cannabis Business Network, a part of the National Cannabis Industry Association, "to help people organize on the national level, especially women."

Today, 80% of West's company is held by women and people of color.
