A True Cannabis Community
Kirstie started W.E.C.A.N. because she wanted to maintain her group of cannabis enthusiasts, known as her canna-tribe.
She believes that when you find your people, it's important to keep them together.
She envisioned more than a network – she dreamed of a movement. A space where women could gather to share not just their professional goals but also their personal growth, ideas, and passion for cannabis.
Here, our members aren’t just part of an organization. They’re family. They’re contributors to a movement that grows stronger with every new connection, every shared moment, and every celebration of our shared values.
