BY CHEF MISTY LOWNIK

Misty Lownik is an awardwinning edibles chef and has been featured in various publications as well as on a few podcasts. Her delicious edibles have been the featured delights at Women Grow Las Vegas’s events since 2018. As their first canna-chef collaborator, Misty’s Baked Goods have tempted, teased, and been devoured by the canna-curious and the connoisseurs alike. Misty’s passion is making edibles that actually taste amazing and work in collaboration with your own body’s endocannabinoid system to ensure that the medicine gets to where it’s needed. And let’s face it, when your medicine tastes better than your “regular” food, it’s a bonus. It’s about time that patients get to eat great food without sacrificing taste or quality. Misty suffers from an invisible illness, fibromyalgia, and she can tell you first-hand how important edibles (and cannabis in general) can be in helping you to live an “actual life”. Misty is a very strong cannabis advocate and an educator. She has studied every aspect of cannabis for over 30 years including growing, baking, extraction, terpene and cannabinoid profiles. Edibles are Misty’s life, joy, and passion and one of her goals is to tear down the stigmas associated with cannabis and to take back the rights to a plant that has proven its healing abilities for centuries.
