Coming from a conservative family where cannabis was frowned upon, familiar to my own, Genny Guenther didn’t expect her path to cross with marijuana.
The Strain Lane owner’s marijuana journey began when she had a painful pelvic disease coupled with endometriosis, which ended her 15-year career as a rock singer. She became an advocate for the plant that was part of the treatment that changed her life.
Women are at the helm of three Airdrie cannabis shops, forging their brands and driving their operations.
Since cannabis became legal in 2018, Airdrie was inundated with applications for cannabis and cannabis related shops. As of our press date back in March, Airdrie is home to 11 such shops.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re rooting for small businesses in Airdrie to survive. As I (Britton Ledingham) am recording this, it’s April 11. I’m working from home, but that’s not unusual. What is unusual is how COVID-19 has caused disruption to businesses and routines.
As of this recording, these businesses are still open, although have modified hours and procedures according to their social media.
This is the airdrielife podcast. Here we take you beyond the pages of airdrielife magazine.
Our goal is to share stories with locals in and around Airdrie about extraordinary people who call this city home. This podcast is an exclusive opportunity where you can learn more about your fantastic neighbours.
