Meg Sanders is the CEO and co-founder of Canna Provisions, the #1 award-winning women-led and employee-owned adult-use cannabis dispensary in Massachusetts. Since launching in 2019, Canna Provisions has become a marquee destination for cannabis enthusiasts and tourists across the Northeast, earning more “Best Dispensary in Massachusetts” honors than any other and consistently ranking among the top cannabis businesses in the state.

With over 15 years of cannabis industry experience, Meg is a recognized pioneer in cultivation, consumer sales, and operational strategy. She has raised capital and provided consulting services to more than 30 cannabis companies across five states, bringing her expertise to nearly every active legal cannabis market. Prior to founding Canna Provisions, she successfully launched, scaled, and exited MindFUL dispensaries in Colorado during the early years of legalization.

Meg’s impact on the industry goes far beyond business. In 2023, she led Canna Provisions to be unanimously named Corporate Citizen of the Year by the Lee, MA Chamber of Commerce—the first cannabis company in the Chamber’s 100-year history to receive the honor. She was also voted Cannabis Business Leader of the Year at the 2023 NECANN Community Awards.

Earlier in her career, while based in Colorado, Meg was appointed to the state’s Amendment 64 Task Force by Governor John Hickenlooper and served on the Aurora Economic Development Council board. She also participated in a National Science Academy workshop alongside representatives from the White House, FBI, and NSA to shape cannabis policy and advance scientific research.

Under Meg’s leadership, Canna Provisions remains one of the few profitable cannabis operators in the U.S., with thriving locations in Lee, Sheffield, and Holyoke, Massachusetts. She has positioned the company as not only a leader in quality and service, but as a model for sustainable, community-focused business in the cannabis space.

A dedicated advocate for local economic development and social equity, Meg works closely with regional organizations including the Lee Chamber of Commerce, Berkshire Humane Society, and numerous grassroots nonprofits. She serves as a mentor for EforAll and is an active member of Berkshire Business and Professional Women and 1Berkshire.

Meg’s industry leadership and thought-provoking insights have been featured in major national and international media, including 60 Minutes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NBC, ABC, and CBS, as well as cannabis trade publications like Marijuana Venture Magazine and MJ Brand Insights. Her expertise has also attracted attention from global outlets including Le Monde, Der Spiegel, and the Times of London.
