A push to legalize Marijuana on a federal level gives life to a new type of chef and a new type of food industry in Cannabis. But who has access to these types of enterprises? And how can we ensure that Black and brown folks who have been criminalized for their Marijuana use get to reap the rewards? In this episode Cristina is joined by Chef Andrea Drummer, cannabis advocate, author and owner of the Original Cannabis Cafe. Chef Drummer has abundant knowledge of the subject at hand, she also discusses using cannabis medicinally, as an opiate alternative for sciatica exacerbated by cooking. Next, Cristina talks with Food Columnist Jonah Reider who hosts the Pith Supper Club. They discuss cooking, hosting and his experience creating cannabis infused foods. We’ll also hear from listeners about their experiences with cannabis infused foods.
