Women for Responsible Cannabis Legalization (WRCL) is a women-led, ally-welcoming coalition building a fully legal, whole-plant Cannabis economy in the United States. We work to deschedule Cannabis, establish a complete federal framework across adult-use, medical, and hemp markets, and advance a treaty-alignment path that resolves domestic and international legal contradictions.


WRCL is nonpartisan, practical, and focused on implementation. WRCL provides educational information and policy analysis and does not offer legal advice.
