Industry Leader Female Powerhouse! Pre-recreational legalization in California, the room was packed at the California Cannabis Convention in Anaheim, CA, where the cannabis industry was on pins and needles waiting to hear cannabis’ future in the golden state. There happened to be three vacant seats in the middle of the room, one held with a bag. My colleague and I grabbed the two vacant seats with hope that the third seat holding the bag, was not meant to hold all three. As the keynote speaker was about to begin, along came a brunette, with amazing vibrant energy about her. She picked up the bag, sat in its’ place, introduced herself, and that is how I met Miss Helen Cobb! After the main address, we chatted it up and immediately connected with her enthusiasm to change the world through cannabis

education, advocacy, and guidance!
:: Her Cannabis Story—Being young, wild and free at age 18 Helen experienced cannabis for the first time and loved the euphoric peaceful feeling. She traveled with a band, and no matter where they were on tour, cannabis brought a calm to the group. Life went on and she started a new chapter settling-down, marrying, having children and embracing family-life. Twelve years passed and divorce happened causing her to fall into a great depression. During this transitional time in her life, she joined forces with a man she met whom shared a common interest and belief in cannabis. They started to grow cannabis as a hobby, which soon turned into a full-time job during the early days of the cannabis collective model in California. She collected over 45 genetic plants producing beautiful clones and flower in Sonoma County. As the cannabis industry grew, so did demand for Helen’s skills and knowledge base. From managing different cannabis dispensaries, collectives and cultivation projects, she has been on the front lines fighting for cannabis legalization. Helen has been in the Medical Marijuana industry for over a decade. She was general manager at Telegraph Health Center, a permitted coop dispensary in Oakland, California, is a national consultant for dispensaries, and cannabis/hemp product line development. She is currently part of a team launching a cannabis-friendly multi-use entertainment venue in Oakland California. Helen is extremely well versed in the state-to-state ever-changing laws and has helped hundreds of patients through chronic pain, depression, addiction, cancer—the ailment list goes on and on. With her heart of gold and a grand understanding of the cannabis plant from a genetic perspective, she believes cannabis can save the world—one person at a time. If you are patient or a curious cannabis consumer with questions about how cannabis can help you or someone you know, write to us at editor@CannabisCookingMagazine.com with “Ask Helen” as your subject line. We’ll pick one question each quarter for Helen to answer and publish her response.

Cannabis Infused Ghee
Choose your own adventure: To make CBD or THC infused Ghee simply... choose the proper cannabis flower/craft hemp that provides medicinal qualities desired and follow instructions below. Also, remember to label the container of medicated ghee for responsible use. INGRERDIENTS 1 lb Butter - grass fed unsalted 1 Pinch of smoked cherrywood sea salt or salt of choice 1/4 tsp decarboxylated powdered CBD/THC rich cannabis flower or herb of choice (optional) 2 Tbsp. CBD/THC Oil (320 mg THC/CBD = 10 mg per Tbsp) -optional Cheesecloth or strainer 1 16 oz jar (room temperature) METHOD Place butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt over mediumhigh heat. Traditionally this mixture is not stirred during melting or heating process. Watch the melting butter. You will see milk solids floating to the surface as it starts to come to a boil. Look and listen to the ghee rapid bowl. Once the butter starts to rapid boil, turn the heat down to medium-low. Once the boil slows down and the bubbles become small, tight, slowed with a little golden brown hue around the edges and bottom, allow the milk fat to sink to the bottom of the pan, brown and become a bit fragrant. Stir in cannabis flower. Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Pour Ghee from heavy saucepan through a cheesecloth filter into a glass jar/storage container. Stir in sea salt and CBD/THC oil to ghee. Leave out on the counter until completely cooled and solidified. Store covered at room temperature up to a month or in the refrigerator for three months..

This beautiful Light-Hearted Lemon Chicken rice bowl is slow-cooked soul food made with beautiful cannabis-infused Myer Lemon sauce. Super delicious, perfectly fresh for spring, and easy to make especially with a little food prep. You'll need to set your slow-cooker on low letting chicken cook all day while you are away. If you have a rice cooker, go ahead and set that too. That way, by dinner time, chicken is ready to perfectly pull apart and rice is cooked! All you'll need to do is cook the sauce, saute up some shredded carrots, green onions, and shredded cabbage. You can probably find bags of those veggies shredded up already in a bag at your local grocer if you want to save your self the slicing time. Look for pre-cut slaw. After sauteing up your veggies, toss in your pulled chicken and lemon sauce. Then plate atop a bowl of cooked rice and enjoy!
LIGHT-HEARTED ELEVATED LEMON SAUCE INGREDIENTS 2 cups lemon flavored sparkling water 1⁄2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, (4-6 large Meyer lemons)

Cook until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in cannabis-infused honey and sea salt to taste.
¼ tsp Xanthum Gum 1⁄4 cup cold water 1 pinch sea salt
Use right away or store sauce in an airtight glass container and refrigerate for up to 1-week if not using right away. When ready to use, simply place the jar in a bowl of warm water to loosen the sauce prior to use. It firms when chilled.

SEASON DEFYING SOUPS CUP 'O WELLNESS
Cannabis infused soups are season-defying and provide a simple micro-dosing method. Pairing hemp with other nourishing herbs provides unique wellness support. These recipes use cannabis-infused oils, infused honey and water-soluble craft hemp CBD in soup recipes for micro dosing ease. RECIPES Split Pea Bliss This clean elevated soup is a vegan twist on traditional split pea. It’s high in fiber, vitamin K, potassium, magnesium and added CBD. Hi-Ya!

SEASON DEFYING SOUPS
HIGH-YA TURKEY SOUP METHOD Over medium heat, dry roast dry herbs (curry, turmeric, peppercorns, dill) in large stock pot for 1 minute. Add cannabis infused coconut oil and chopped onions—stir until onions are translucent. Add in all other chopped veggies and sea salt—stir to mix, then cover pot with lid cooking on low for 20 minutes. Your veggies should sweat.
INGREDIENTS 2 Tbsp. yellow curry powder 1 tsp. turmeric powder 10 peppercorns 3 Tbsp. dried dill 2 Tbsp. cannabis infused coconut oil 2 whole large yellow onions—chopped 1 head organic celery—chopped 1 lb organic carrots—peeled and chopped ½ organic turkey breast—bone-in
1 gallon water ⅛ cup sea salt
4 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Place turkey on top of veggies in stock pot and add one gallon of distilled water. Bring water to a gentle boil over high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce heat, add in apple cider vinegar and continue simmering for 2 hours. [The vinegar draws out vital nutrients from turkey bones]. After simmering for 2 hours, carefully remove turkey breast from soup (this will be very hot and will burn you, so please use a spoon or tongs) and place it on a cutting board. Allow turkey to cool. Then cut turkey meat off of the bone in bite size pieces—it should pull apart with ease. Return turkey meat to soup pot. Taste soup. Add sea salt and pepper to your liking. Serve and enjoy. This soup freezes very well and also builds flavor over time. Making this recipe a day before serving works in your favor.
