Stiletto Stoners – Women and Weed

Fri, Oct 02, 2009 3:22 pm


According to a recent article in Marie Claire, more professional, career oriented women are turning to marijuana instead of alcohol to unwind after a stressful day at the office. So why are these stiletto stoners lighting up?


According to Dr. Julie Holland in this clip from the Today Show, “It’s very different than alcohol … People are unwinding and they’re relaxing but they’re also able to think and maybe analyze … maybe make some changes in their lives. I think that cannabis … could actually be more helpful than alcohol.”


Dr. Holland acknowledges that, “the fact that it’s illegal is a very big deal … people have to hide and they feel like criminals and there’s a lot of shame and guilt.”


Maybe more weed loving women coming forward is exactly what the movement needs to raise awareness and push toward legalization.

Really if cannabis is legallized the price will drop so much making high grade more like 50 an oz ( just an estimate) everyone will be growing it, and so much weed will flood the market. Mexico better watch out!

i am 22 i work at a ski resort and i have been smoking weed for quite a while i went through a stint of drinking i would drink until i blacked out but i was getting myself in trouble and putting myself in situations that i did not want to be in with pot you are still in control it is so much less dangerous than half of the drugs the gov. comes out with.

I think thats it's great that people are showing
that you can have a nice paying job, and enjoy the joy of cannabis. I think this article was a wonderful idea :D

Good vid, but an awful lot of rationalizing for a little smoke. Matt Lauer looks happy just to be talking with real live girls who smoke.


DrGreenthumbs: Legalization WILL happen/already is, state by state.


Old News...: agreed, it's been played, but look at some of the other posts, it's news to them...depends on yer POV.


sibkiss: 2-3C for 1/2, that ain't bad! Get outta subville!


BOKO out.

high quality hydroponic marijuana should never cost more than $40-$50 per 1/8oz. The real timothy leary knows this, the truth that hurts you is that you have no good connection to get anything good, try a trip to the west coast buddy.

no creature on this planet, or any other for that matter, can stop, or even slow, legalization. I have already begun the process and it is coming to the federal legislators in early 2010

if U take the quantity U recieve 4 a 10 sack, and extrapolate 2 the pound price, U will pay a hell of a lot more than 200 a half!

Truth hurts sometimes :o)

i am an active, productive woman executive/CPA and use marijuana almost daily (prefer it to alcohol). i find marijuana tempers my OCD tendencies, relieves the stress of my very busy life, and sparks my creativity.

thanks for sharing this article and video. it is helpful to know i am not the only female professional that appreciates the many positive characteristics of cannabis.

There is no gender basis for *who* smokes weed, so this is a moot point. I wake and bake daily to preempt the stress of work and to sleep better. Of course weed eases symptoms of pms, boredom, anxiety etc. Professional or homebodies alike all enjoy cannabis. My favorite line from this was the dealer in the office. Shit that's me! Personally, I grow my own and have heard it time and time again that women have a better hand at gardening regarding indoor grows... The media is always steps behind the status quo for topics like this. Probably for good reasons...

I know so many women who smoke weed and say it relieves anything that comes along with pms. how come they havent talked about this more. it would be another great reason to toke up .

i know many women including myself that would stand up for marijuana rights, maybe you should read or go meet some people so you would know that.

I think the legalisation weed, anywhere but holland, will not happen, not in our life-time, as the ladies say there is too much stigma attached to weed, that if you smoke it your a criminal, who are we hurting, everyone i know smokes it and works bloody hard to earn enough to!! In thousands of years of use, not 1 person has reportedly died directly from cannabis, yet hundreds of thousands of people die every year from alcohol or tobacco related diseases, yet these are perfectly legal substances, irony at its best!!
The old boys who run our countries (i live in uk) are still trapped in the past, classing weed as a "drug" when its quite clearly a herb, you can get herbal ciggarettes from most retailers of herbal products, what is the difference between been able to smoke certain herbs and not others?! What we do in the privacy of own home is no1 else business but our own. If weed was legal the cost of it between competeing retailers would drive out the little grotty dealers on street, which i think adds to the stigma of it been a criminal activity, and i beleive most people would actually grow their own as it is much more cost effective, and you can grow the strains you prefer, where is the criminal activity there?! Till the day it comes, may we smoke in peace fellow stoners!!!!

300-500 dro thats what it goes for depending where you are at and strain, as far as puting you asleep or headaches it is all up to the weed you aere smoking, their is a diffence between stoned and high, stoned is what put you to sleep, also dependes on how you grow it

One of the most productive and energetic woman I know smokes weed almost daily. Some people can do it and it doesnt put them to sleep. Other women get head aches. But getting legistlators to agree it is time to legalize? After all the years of demonization it will be hard to get reelected if you got the job for being hard on crime. Its time we look at the benefits of legalizing hemp here in the US atleast. You cannot find a good reason we can use it here but not grow it here.
