Welcome to TASTE BUD!

— a BRAND NEW cheeky weekly newsletter with savory takes on culinary anthropology, history, weed & culture.

Hola, it’s Mennlay. I’m a first-generation West African and a 20-year cannabis entrepreneur living in Mexico for the better part of a decade.

My life and work play at the intersection of cannabis, culture and cuisine. TASTE BUD is a rebooted rendition of the WordPress blogger days. Except these musings are a little more grown-up and a lot more focused on culinary expression with weekly recipes and essays.

No. Not all recipes include weed—but they can if you want them to.

After being randomly dubbed weed tía when I first moved to Mexico City, I decided it would be best to take my role very seriously. And so, I advise that you please cook and eat infused treats responsibly. Every recipe can be made with or without cannabis. If you decide to indulge, always start with the lowest dose (we’ll cover dosing and what to do when you get too high in the newsletter).

What to Expect from TASTE BUD

• Once a month, I’ll share free essays and recipes for the people.

• Once a week, I’ll share a recipe, maybe sometimes video, and audio for paid subscribers—Thank you in advanced for your support!
  

Well, that’s about it for now. I’m so so so glad you’re here. Talk soon!
