GREEN ENTREPRENEUR: 5 Things You Should Know Before Starting Up Your Cannabusiness by Garyn Angel

Organizations such as Tokeativity, run by Portland’s own Lisa Snyder and Samantha Montanaro, creates and maintains a space for women to connect and grow together.

Everyone knows someone who knows someone in this business, so never be afraid to ask around for the connect before you get started.
