Cannabis Company Sued for Alleged Gender Discrimination

A group of women are taking legal action against a major cannabis company, alleging they were wrongfully terminated due to their gender. The lawsuit claims the company's "bro culture" and gender bias led to the dismissal of several female employees in favor of male replacements.

The judge has ruled that one of the plaintiffs can proceed with her claims despite the company's argument that she has no ties to California, where the lawsuit was filed. The case is scheduled for trial in two thousand twenty seven, and the women are seeking damages for discrimination, retaliation, and labor code violations. This lawsuit shines a light on the persistent gender imbalance in the rapidly growing cannabis industry, where women continue to face significant barriers to advancement and equal treatment.
