Brownie Mary

Brownie Mary was a nurse and activist in San Francisco who became well-known for baking and sharing cannabis-infused brownies to help patients suffering from serious illnesses, such as cancer and AIDS. Her efforts aimed to provide relief from pain and nausea, promoting the medicinal use of marijuana long before it became broadly legal. Despite legal challenges, she gained recognition for prioritizing patient care and advocating for medical marijuana access. Brownie Mary's work contributed significantly to the movement advocating for compassionate, patient-centered drug policies.
