Gen Z’s pot appetite fuels optimism
Emily Paxhia’s coming-around-to-cannabis story has a surprise ending.
Like many cannabis enthusiasts, Paxhia said she shifted in favor of the drug when someone close to her was suffering, and conventional medicine couldn’t help. But the plight of her loved one — her father, who passed away from cancer in 1996 — didn’t just turn her into an advocate for medical marijuana. She and her younger brother, Morgan, staked their fortunes and careers on the drug.
Together, they co-founded a cannabis investment fund, Poseidon Asset Management. It now has $200 million in assets under management, and Emily is one of the few female money managers in the space today.
