In 1997, Shaw invented the licensed cannabis dispensary.

What makes women so effective at business and customer relations?

It took a woman to invent the license to legally sell cannabis.

Do you have a unique notable history in the Bay Area?

After I invented the license and made national news I was sued by President Bill Clinton. Also, we carry only small farms that grow organically — we carry no large corporate products. I have always had a good reputation for quality. We have a moneyback guarantee on every purchase, and we carry clones from April to July for home growers.

What do you want people to know about you?

I spent 19 years in federal court as a “test case” to stop the fledgling industry. I was harassed, persecuted, bankrupted and threatened by federal agents. Despite all the horrible things that happened to me, my wonderful attorney, Greg Anton, finally prevailed in court to stop the feds from raiding. I became protected from further abuse by federal judges’ orders. No one will have to suffer through the type of pressure ever again since I was strong enough to endure. I am honored to be the inventor of the licensed dispensary and founder of the cannabis industry. My joy is working with hundreds of patients and thousands of adult recreational users providing them with the best cannabis products we can find.

What’s next for you?

I have signed a book contract and will be publishing my story nationally and internationally in 2025.
