Two entrepreneurial Tomatoes realized that as the rolling wave of cannabis legalization makes its way across the country, women are most curious about this once demonized plant and want to know the benefits. Enter Andy Greenberg and Sharon Krinsky who created a first of its kind cannabis concierge. By now all of you tomatoes surely know someone who has tried a CBC cream for arthritis, or a gummy for sleep. However, you may have many questions (as do I) about what is best for you and what are the benefits of specific products. Enter Society Jane.

By introducing women, with elegance, taste and refinement, to the testosterone-soaked cannabis culture. This female run company is an online service just for tomatoes like YOU.  Shopping online is so simple, but best of all they have a number where informed folks help you with any and all questions. They will deliver to most places in the bay area with a minimum purchase of course, but it comes right to your door. Some of their wares include black sesame or strawberry shortcake marshmallows.

Full disclosure I had a tiny bite of one, and it was delish. Not enough to know the effects, but I may soon. The holiday specials include peppermint Bark chocolate bar or box of marshmallows covered with dark chocolate and peppermint. Oh yum… Of course you can grab a gift certificate for the gal who has everything, or just order a treat for yourself. Every item is clearly identified with ingredients and of course this is 100% legal friends. Might help take the edge off of holiday stress! www.societyjane.com
