A woman in a Kwaio hillside hamlet cooking on an open fireplace inside her hut while feeding her child and smoking a pipe. The man in the background is the tour guide Ronnie Butala, himself a Kwaio, living in a coastal Christian village but with many relatives in the traditional (Kastoms) hamlets. The houses in most hamlets are primitive with no chemney which means that smoke from open fires inside huts is a health hazard, probably as bad as the smoke from a pipe of tobacco or marijuana.

Legal medical marijuana patient and caregiver Lynn Allen in the living room of his home in Williamston where he lives with his wife and daughter. Allen was born with hemophilia, and contracted HIV in 1978 from a blood transfusion. While Allen says that the marijuana helps with joint pain, the most beneficial aspect for him is appetite stimulation to counteract the loss of appetite associated with having HIV.

Medical edibles have come a long way since the infamous pot brownies that were consumed with crunchy, awful-tasting leaves and stems. Aunt Sandy’s Medical Marijuana Cookbook is a collection of recipes by cooking instructor, Sandy Moriarty, who is a professor at Oaksterdam University in Oakland Ca. Oaksterdam University has pioneered training for jobs in the booming marijuana industry.

The cookbook is retro in design and content, reminiscent of classic Betty Crocker-type comfort foods. Some of Sandy’s favorites include mac and cheese, spicy buffalo wings, and scalloped potatoes.

The book visually demonstrates and reveals the process for creating Sandy’s 10x Cannabutter. It includes 40 easy-to-prepare, delicious dishes from her signature dessert, Blue Sky Lemon Bars, to the Dizzy Bird Turkey with Stuffing for a festive holiday dinner. The book updates some of the classics with low-calorie, vegetarian, vegan, sugar-free and gluten-free options.

Each individual’s potency level is different. The author teaches how potency can be adjusted by the amount of plant material used in the butter, oil or tincture.

The American Medical Association has now recognized the medical value of marijuana and the federal government has provided medical marijuana to selected medical patients for many years.
