The Omlie Story
I am not a stoner. I was taught to just say no and that marijuana was an illegal gateway drug.
When medical marijuana was legalized in my state, I became curious. My dad suffers from debilitating back pain so I started researching marijuana as an alternate treatment option for him, that wasn’t prescription pain killers.
I have worked as a consultant to healthcare companies for years, but I was amazed at how little I knew about cannabis and how hard it was to find credible information. It was even harder to find places to ask the silly, newbie questions that I had like, is there a difference between marijuana, cannabis, hemp, and weed? Why is CBD suddenly everywhere? What does it feel like to get high?
Along my journey I discovered that cannabis could help people like my dad, suffering from chronic pain, and that it could also help me with everything from anxiety to sleeplessness. I also learned about the history of cannabis prohibition and its roots in racism and I was moved to act.
I’m still not your traditional stoner. But I’m on a mission to cultivate the possibilities of cannabis.
I’ve created Omlie to share what I've learned and broaden the conversation about cannabis by helping women, who are so often the caretakers of our families, to understand it and how it could be used to help us and our loved ones. This is a safe place to ask the newbie questions. After all, we aren't stoners. We are at the beginning of our cannabis journey, navigating this new horizon together. Welcome! I’m so glad that you are here.

Who is Omlie?
Omlie is inspired by Phoebe Omlie, a pioneer in American aviation.
Phoebe was the first woman to receive an airplane mechanic’s license, the first licensed female transport pilot, and in 1933 she was the first woman to be appointed to a federal position in the aviation field. She also established 66 flight schools in 46 states, including a school in Tuskegee, Alabama that would later train the famous Tuskegee Airmen; the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces.
Phoebe knew that we rise by cultivating others and she was referred to by Eleanor Roosevelt as a woman, “whose achievements make it safe to say the world is progressing.”
Inspired by Phoebe Omlie, our mission is to cultivate possibilities and we aspire to help the world move forward, one woman at a time.
