Women In Cannabis Documentary ‘Lady Buds’ Is The First Of Many

After many successful screenings, the 'Lady Buds' documentary inspires two new entertainments projects focussing on women in cannabis.

Back in November, a trailblazing documentary shared an in-depth look at the lives of different women who’ve positioned themselves as big players in the cannabis industry. The Lady Buds documentary also shared valuable insight on what it’s like working as a woman in a male-dominated industry

The film saw vast success and critical acclaim, so much so that it inspired two forthcoming projects touching on similar topics. Deadline was the first to announce the upcoming ventures, and the first project has drawn comparison to the 2011 Kristen Wiig-starring movie, Bridesmaids. 

Producing this project is Hellcat, who decided to add a comedic undertone to the film and see where that lands. Founder of Hellcat, Pippa Lambert, mentioned that “Women may not be the face of cannabis, but they’ve always been the backbone of the culture.”

High Times reports Lambert explaining how before legalization, “36% of leadership roles in the industry were held by women, and that number is now 22 percent.” She added that women growers like in Lady Buds are “truly inspiring,” and she’s “thrilled to be bringing their story, a true and still unfolding David and Goliath tale for our times, to life on the big screen.”

While Lady Buds inspired the project above, the second project is more of a spin-off that sees the documentary’s main feature Sue Taylor, or “Mama Sue.” This non-scripted series was created by Wally Eltawashy for Yoruba Media Labs and will follow Taylor’s life and her many cannabis operations reports High Times. 

In the documentary, we saw powerful players like Sue Taylor, Chiah Rodriques, Felicia Carbajal, Karyn Wagner, and The Bud Sisters (Pearl Moon and Dr. Joyce Centofanti) share their compelling stories about normalizing cannabis and seeking gender equality within the industry.

Deadline reports, Lady Buds’ director Chris J. Russo has opened up about her delight that the documentary has inspired other projects, which will allow her “to continue to support and tell the stories of these courageous, pioneering women.”

As of today, the Lady Buds film is available to stream on Starz, and Russo says it’s the “perfect home to showcase this film that explores women empowerment and social justice, it’s all a dream come true.”
