What I Want My Kids to Know About Cannabis This Mother’s Day
For years, Sarah Strickler kept her professional life in the cannabis industry separate from her role as a mother, weighed down by the “smell of judgment.” In this Mother’s Day op-ed, the Grown Rogue co-founder reflects on the 600-percent increase in incarcerated women since the 1980s and the double standards mothers face. Strickler argues that building a responsible industry requires more than transparency; it requires active repair, expungement support, and creating a future where the next generation inherits responsibility and pride rather than the heavy burden of legacy stigma.
