Brownie Mary Rathbun

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 062

Mary Jane Rathbun, known as Brownie Mary, was a legendary cannabis activist famous for baking and distributing cannabis brownies to AIDS patients in San Francisco. Known for her sailor mouth and fierce advocacy, she declared that there is no such thing as recreational cannabis use -- it is all medicinal.

Mark Scialdone recalled having Brownie Mary and Dennis Peron in his kitchen in 1994 making brownies together. He described their close relationship and her crass personality that belied her grandmotherly photo appearance. She was mentioned alongside Elvy Musikka in a segment celebrating great women in cannabis.
