Pharma Girl Cannabis World | Application Preview
Pharma Girl Cannabis World is seeking government grants to support a unique business concept that merges education on pharmaceuticals and cannabis, stemming from the founder's extensive experience as an oncology sales representative. With 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry, the founder witnessed firsthand the challenges cancer patients face with traditional treatments, often fraught with severe side effects and a slow adoption of new therapies by oncologists.
Motivated by personal losses within the family due to cancer, the founder became passionate about cannabis as an alternative to conventional medications. After spending two years with Missouri's first cannabis manufacturer, the plan is to create the first white label cannabis brand targeted specifically at women. The initial product will be an infused intimacy oil called high LOVR, but there’s a need for a reliable manufacturer.
Pharma Girl Cannabis World has accumulated $150,000 in debt from personal investments and aims to create an educational platform to promote the benefits of cannabis through social media and community outreach. The business model includes expanding the product line to include fast-acting products, edibles, drinks, and accessories by the end of 2023.
The application emphasizes the founder's unwavering belief in the product and its potential positive impact on women's lives, highlighting the lack of competition in this specific niche. The personal story of the founder, along with expertise in side effects from pharmaceuticals, is presented as a significant competitive advantage. The funding would enable the establishment of the educational gap platform and facilitate further product development to enhance quality of life through cannabis.

Funding Usage
Pharma Girl Cannabis World became a real business idea 3 years ago but the idea of bridging the education gap between Pharmaceuticals and cannabis started many years ago as an oncology sales representative for Johnson & Johnson. I spent 25 years selling first to market, mind blowing, sometimes paradigm shifting therapies to cancer centers and hospitals across the state of Missouri and Southern Illinois. When a drug is first to market as a sales representative you spend most of your time discussing the data from the study that got the drug approved. Efficacy- how well did the drug perform against placebo, safety & tolerability -side effects- grades of side- effects both short & long term and the favorite- ACCESS- how will the doctor get paid for the drug & how will patients pay for the drug. Unfortunately, in the Midwest oncologist are very slow to adapt or change or trial a new drug. As the years went on the therapies got worse- horrible side effects-things you couldn't imagine and yet want to stay alive afterwards. Big Pharma is a pulling at your integrity everyday-quotas and narcissistic managers all championing " patients first" Credo” in a toxic Scientology way. I had been a" closest stoner" in my corporate world and would sit in our meetings whispering to myself " they make a strain for that" no unwelcome side effects. my last 5 years in oncology I buried my brother at 48 and my dad at 75 from colon/ rectal cancer, this is where I got to see the wizard behind the curtain when it can to patient care. Said to self, ' if Missouri ever approves cannabis, I am in 100% whatever it takes." spent 2 years working for the 1st. manufacturer of cannabis products in Missouri which gave me a front row seat to who everyone is, how this business works and what is missing. I am creating the first white label brand in Missouri. I want to create an identifiable space within every dispensary where women know exactly where to land. Pharma Girl Cannabis World LLC: and my first products to launch will be an infused intimacy oil named high LOVR. I have everything in place but a manufacturer, the manufacturer whom I "assumed "we were doing business together decided otherwise, their loss! I am $150,000 in debt of my own money, I have talked with several other manufactures, I just keep waiting.... and today I lost my shit- found this grant- and thought why not I would use the award to build out my "educational gap" platform. through social media (which I have none) reach-out to community MD's and research on future products. Anyone can have a better quality of life through cannabis and perhaps start limiting or at least titrate down the Pharmaceuticals. I call cannabis my " Bitch away" or Karen Killer, and I've been told I truly break the stereotype of a stoner. spend one hour in a dispensary and you will hear the stories, patient after patient, even if it’s just to go home to switch your mind up after a long day.

Business Plan
By the end of 2023 I will expand my line with fast-acting products, edibles, drinks, and accessories I have believed in myself and my product 100% to get this far. I have used money from my 401k to invest in myself and create a business that betters the lives of women through cannabis. I have pre-sold my first 20,000 bottles and will only continue to sell more through educational lifestyle innovative products.
