YOUTUBE CELEBRITY CHEF ROSANNA PANSINO SMOKES WEED GROWN FROM FATHER’S ASHES
I’m not a YouTube celebrity tracker at all. But that’s mostly because I don’t watch anyone’s YouTube channel, aside from the random clickbait for some event. Well, and there have been some cute cat videos, though not on the regular. So my introduction to the popular Rosanna Pansino, who has her own show as a chef on YouTube, is a little awkward at best. Because the only reason I even know her name today is because of all the fanfare happening because she smoked weed she grew in her dead father’s ashes. And to be fair, simply said like that it sounds pretty shocking.

SOME FANS OF PANSINO’S SHOW, RODICULOUS, WERE A BIT SHOCKED AT BLUNT GROWN FROM FATHER’S ASHES
But here’s the deal; her father Michael Reardon, who used to appear on her show Rodiculous, included as one of his last wishes that she do just that- grow weed from his ashes and share it with her show’s followers. Her father passed away a couple years ago from leukemia, and made at least this somewhat unusual request known to his daughter. But it’s not the kind of thing most people would find to be a comfortable idea. Weed, or marijuana to you older rubes like me, is increasingly legal but still has some social stigma for many. And while weed culture isn’t new, some things -like smoking weed you grew in your father’s ashes- seem a bit shocking. But Pansino honored his request regardless.

WEED IS STILL A SOCIAL STIGMA, THOUGH DEAD FATHER’S ASHES GROWN WEED IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
But while I’m not familiar with Pansino, her show or her father, I am familiar with weed being a great help to people fighting cancer, especially for helping with debilitating pain and helping to reduce the nausea from cancer treatments. So it could be that her dad wanted to make a manifest statement with her smoking weed grown from his ashes. Transmutation comes to mind, as does mortal humor and the utter randomness of it. But a lot of folks are pretty shocked about it, which is fine. It’s a bit odd, to be sure. Yet it’s high time (yes, high) that we keep chipping away at weed’s stigma status and accept all that we have to learn about it.
And speaking of munchies, maybe I’ll have a look at the Rosanna Pansino YouTube channel and see what’s there to blunt the munchy appetite.
