NATIONAL – March 30, 2025 – As Women’s History Month concludes, the cannabis industry reflects on the pioneering contributions of women who have shaped its evolution. In a heartfelt tribute, the founder of Upling—now recognized as the leading cannabis delivery platform in the United States and Jamaica—shares a deeply personal story of maternal influence and female leadership.
“Upling would not exist if it weren’t for my mother,” the founder revealed in a recent statement. “She was the foundation, the problem-solver, and the unwavering force that helped turn an idea into what is now the #1 cannabis delivery platform across two countries.”
The tribute gains particular poignancy as the founder navigates the first Women’s History Month following their mother’s passing in late 2024. This personal loss has transformed into a public commitment to honor women’s contributions throughout the cannabis ecosystem.
The cannabis industry represents a unique space in American entrepreneurship, with women historically holding leadership positions at higher rates than in many traditional sectors. These women pioneers have been instrumental in advancing legalization efforts, championing social equity initiatives, and driving research innovation.
“Women have been the backbone of cannabis legalization, social equity efforts, and groundbreaking research,” noted the Upling founder. “They challenge outdated perceptions, drive innovative solutions, and create pathways where none existed.”
Industry analysts point to women’s significant influence in normalizing cannabis use through wellness-focused branding, community education initiatives, and patient advocacy. Female entrepreneurs have particularly excelled in developing products addressing underserved market segments, including wellness applications and microdosing solutions.
Upling’s business model itself reflects this innovative spirit, having transformed cannabis access through technology while creating economic opportunities in communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition.
“My mother’s legacy lives on through every delivery, every satisfied customer, and every opportunity we create,” the founder stated. “At Upling, we honor that legacy every single day.”
As the cannabis industry continues its rapid evolution, companies like Upling demonstrate how personal stories and values can shape corporate missions and market approaches, particularly when guided by female leadership and influence.
