Stewart is joining the Canadian marijuana company Canopy Growth as an adviser to help them develop cannabis products for people and their pets, according to a news release. But even if you live in an area where cannabis is legal, you won\u2019t be getting high on Martha-branded pot brownies anytime soon: The company will start with pet products. Fido won\u2019t be getting stoned, either: The products will contain CBD, a non-psychoactive compound that some say reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation and pain relief, through there has been limited research so far. The compound comes from hemp, but it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the marijuana compound that makes people feel high.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart\u2019s co-star, Snoop Dogg, has a preexisting partnership with Canopy Growth, according to CNN. Snoop has an investing firm called Casa Verde Capital that focuses on cannabis start-ups. Last year he published a cookbook, \u201cFrom Crook to Cook,\u201d which contains recipes for dishes prepared on the show, such as fried chicken, as well as dessert recipes such as \u201cBow Wow Brownies,\u201d which encourage cooks to add \u201ca sprinkle of Snoop\u2019s herbs and spices \u2026 This is why you bought the book, right? So what the hell you waiting on? Go get baked!\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related right\" \/>\n<p>If it seems like a strange turn for the queen of tasteful holiday decorating and elegant Connecticut farmhouse dinner parties to start working with weed, well, you haven\u2019t been paying attention. Martha has been making this transition for years, capitalizing on her \u201charder\u201d post-prison image, turning it into dank memes and comedy gold. <\/p>\n<p>It started with her foul-mouthed and hilarious roast of Justin Bieber, in which she gave the singer prison tips and called comedian Natasha Leggero \u201cthe dirtiest used-up ho I have ever seen.\u201d It continued with her VH1 show with Snoop, for which she tried on a grill (the kind that goes in your mouth), shotgunned a beer and glugged out of a 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor. As Martha becomes more like Snoop, Snoop has become more like Martha: His cookbook also includes a recipe for Lobster Thermidor.<\/p>\n<p>Martha claims she doesn\u2019t consume cannabis, though that doesn\u2019t mean she has never felt its effects: She says she has gotten a contact high from being around Snoop. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"media_block\"><\/div>\n<p>Ever since Martha Stewart teamed up with Snoop Dogg and became America&apos;s Cool Weed Grandma, people have wondered: When will the cooking show host take the next logical step and create a line of gourmet cannabis edibles?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[52,330,55,6813,77,6958,9,5019,8088,7446,5921,1,3,18,61,1736],"tags":[2632,2908,2635,6818,2655,6961,5022,8089,7451,5936,2622],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8643"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cannitrol.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
