Women Are Confronting the Stigma Around Consuming Cannabis

Emilyn Bona and Amy Goss are helping pave the way for more women growers to join the legal recreational cannabis industry

That’s why Emilyn Bona and Amy Goss, two women cultivators at the Berkshires-based, vertically integrated recreational cannabis company, The Pass, are so passionate about creating a meaningful space at the company for women who want to grow.
