I've always been passionate about food," says Jenelise Robinson. "And I've always been passionate about marijuana and the things it can do for the world."
The Denver woman is 35 but looks 20, with heavy loop earrings distending her lobes and an enormous bracelet to match. From her clavicles southward, her body is a riot of tattoos—the usual skulls and anchors as well as a large circle with a squiggle inside it on her right arm. (When a visitor points quizzically to the squiggle, she replies politely, "It's a baby in a brain," though the tone of her voice says, "Like, duh.") We shouldn't be misled by the biker look or the faux-'60s talk of changing the world. Robinson is all business—a consummate tradeswoman. In the past 16 months she has found a way to combine her passions for food and pot and make the combination pay, as founder, owner and head baker of Nancy B's Edible Medicine, one of the most successful start-ups in Colorado's newest "industry": medical marijuana.

Stupid pot heads!
I wish maryland would legalize it.
Stupid alcoholics! They should try marijuana instead!
Doesnt sound stupid to me. She is making money with her idea. Alcohol and tobacco have no benefit to the body. Pot helps a lot of sick people with their diseases. Tobacco gets you addicted to the point where you cant quit and alcohol gets you to the point (if enough is consumed) you cant even walk a straight line. Pot has many medicinal uses and should be legal all over the country. Once the govt realizes they can tax it and make money then maybe it will be legal. I would rather smoke pot than drink a beer or smoke a cigarette.
The main problem with the legalization of marijuana is lobbyists. Alcohol companies are spending tons of money to keep it illegal, out of fear legalization of it would hurt their sales. The politicians just like us to believe they're doing things for our well-being, but it all comes down to the dollar.
