Shanna Perry grew up, like most of us, entrenched in the underground cannabis scene. As a young adult, purchasing cannabis illegally was the only way to obtain it. And Perry, like most, was no stranger to the culture and lingo required to buy and sell.

Fast forward two decades and Perry, with over ten years of experience in the cannabis sector, has found her calling in hemp. And ironically, the product she produces which she refers to as hemp, plant-based botanical oil is simply a supplement that she and many others have been making in kitchens for years. The urgency to formulate her hemp-based product came as Perry’s mother was given a cancer diagnosis.

LAS VEGAS, May 30, 2019/PRNewswire/ — Purple Leaf Hemp is the first Hemp/CBD product manufacturer to air an advertisement with Cox Media, one of the largest media companies in the United States. Cox Media is currently streaming a commercial, produced by Morning Coffee Productions, for Purple Leaf Hemp‘s plant-based botanical oil. Purple Leaf Hemp is a Nevada based company and a licensed Hemp Handler by the Department of Agriculture with global distribution.

Shanna Perry is the owner of Shannabis, a media and news company within the cannabis industry in Las Vegas, Nevada. She feels that power plays are worse than sexism in the space, stating, “Power harassment is the mental and career confinement of women in business.”

Perry feels she was personally held back and demeaned like a child by men in the industry, for speaking her mind. There’s an old adage when men speak out they are assertive; when a woman speaks out, she’s being bossy.
