Description
<p><strong>Mary Jane Gibson has the makings of a hero with new feminist project, "My Sandwich, My Choice"</strong></p>
<p><strong>On the show today:</strong> <a href="https://thisismaryjane.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mary Jane Gibson</a>, a prominent female voice in cannabis media and former culture editor at <em>High Times</em>, who has been tracking the legalization and culture of medical marijuana and adult-use cannabis since 2007. After writing at <em>High Times</em> for over a decade, she now writes at-large at outlets like Rolling <em>Stone</em> and <em>Vox</em> where she covers cannabis culture, psychedelics, arts, entertainment, news, and cutting-edge trends. She is also an award-winning actor and playwright, and a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada. </p>
<p>After penning an article on <a href="https://hightimes.com/weirdos/lets-talk-about-sexism-baby/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sexism in the cannabis industry</a>, Gibson predictably received an onslaught of shitty comments from fragile dudes throwing tired “make me a sandwich” jokes. Rather than grin and bear it, she decided to take their advice and do just that: make delicious, nourishing, sandwiches all for herself, while educating the masses about the horrific rollback and daily assault on reproductive rights. Evolving from a clapback into a full-fledged project, “<a href="https://thisismaryjane.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">My Sandwich, My Choice</a>” has gained the attention of over 30K followers on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/itsthemayoforme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a> and 14K followers on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@itsthemayoforme" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TikTok</a> as Gibson uses the platform to sling sandwiches with a statement. Most recently, <a href="https://thisismaryjane.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">she’s added a Substack</a> (which you should absolutely subscribe to).</p>
