Speaker - Bad Kitty Smiles
"The cannabis growing guru and medical-edible-oil extraordinaire, BadKittySmiles, the 'Kat' of "BadKat's CannaPharm",
has devoted her life to assisting patients and all people in need, helping them to learn the healthiest production techniques
and the correct use of cannabis, by catering specifically to their individual needs and application requirements.
She specializes in cannabis edibles and bioavailable oils, in topical treatments, tinctures, and in growing cannabis in
a variety of environments and mediums, including aquaponics, or with the use of live fish as the primary means to sustain
the plants. Her skills with cannabis edibles and oils are known of, world wide, and patients from all corners reach out to
her with stories of their own success... many who contact her, myself included, have been met with a full inbox warning!
The persistence is more than worth it, when you finally get through!
She has traveled the globe for our wonderful cause, drawing deep insight from the collective knowledge of her 'masters',
totaling over one-hundred and fifty years of cannabis experience!
Kitty LOVES cooking with cannabis, and she uses it in a variety of creative, and daring recipes! She still smokes our canna,
mainly for pleasure, but she strongly promotes and encourages the consumption and topical application of edible cannabis oils,
and extracts, to maximize its powerful medicinal benefits by expanding the amount and array of cannabinoids and terpenes the
body is exposed to.
BadKat strongly believes that safe access to natural cannabis is essential, and crucial when it comes to healing and comforting
the seriously ill, but she also insists that even those people who are for all purposes considered 'healthy', can benefit by
periodically supplementing their own endocannabinoid systems with natural plant cannabinoids, in the same way we still
benefit from a varied diet containing essential chemicals (or their relatives!) that we can synthesize, without the aid of their
direct intake. At the very least, it's the healthy alternative when compared to relaxing with a strong drink or a cigarette! But
especially if you are on one or more prescription medications, cannabis may ease your conditions, and you may even be
able to eliminate some or all of those nasty synthetic chemicals! It's still important to work with a doctor who has a realistic
(ie. open minded) view of cannabis; you should always get his or her opinion, and alert them to any changes in your condition.
For the first time ever, with the progress our community has made in the last few years, Kat is expanding her availability,
and increasing her ability to help and reach a greater number of people and patients!
"As far as my willingness to consider public participation on a wider scale, goes,
you happened to catch me at the right moment with the current political and social
climate surrounding cannabis. I look forward to speaking and interacting with you
all, in a broader capacity!" - BadKittySmiles
If you wanted to add a video to my bio page for now, here's an old time-lapse of one of the grow rooms...

Quick Note From Us
We are extremely impressed with "Bad Kitty". Her passion for helping people is obvious to even the casual web
surfer stumbling upon forum threads where she shares extremely valuable tips on cooking up some of the best meds
possible.
We invited her to be a speaker for the Summit, but rather than accepting our request to let us interview her
she instead
VOLUNTEERED to produce a video for us revealing many awesome tips & secrets of master canna-bakers!
She offered to make this video purely out of the goodness of her heart to provide to this much needed information particularly
at this time when multitudes of people are opening their minds to using cannabis to help with their ailments. We suggested
that she takes it a step further. After chatting back & forth a few times we have evolved a plan for her to produce even
more extra "bonus footage" content that will all get crammed into a DVD, along with the video she's producing for the Summit,
and it will be available for sale, very reasonably priced of course. We highly encourage you to buy a copy. Why?
First let us say that we, the Summit, won't take a single penny from the sales of the discs. 100% of the profits will go straight
to Bad Kitty Smiles to help support
the incredible work that she is doing truly helping many many people. We strongly believe that money in the hands of
good-hearted people greases the wheels of altruistic projects (like what she does with cannabis), and that is why we
will be promoting her videos.
But remember, at the Summit you will be able to watch her main video, sharing
her many secrets, all for free. Why would you want to own a copy of her DVD? Share the disc with friends, and
also enjoy the bonus footage that will be there for you to learn from. You can also feel good inside knowing that your
purchase is directly helping her continue helping others.
Be sure to
subscribe & register so that we may let you know once they are ready and available. In the meantime surf
around the awesome forums to start learning from this incredible medible master baker.
Here is a
great link to get you started."
And that's that!
Exciting times are upon us! And I could not have done it without you, the AWESOME members of the online community!! :yay:
------
And here's a little photo drop and update from the newer thread, that I forgot to make here
-------
Just a quick photo-dump update, sharing what I've been up to lately... lots of edibles, frosty nuggage, and hash... things
have been pretty hectic, but I've been thinking of you all, often!
I've received many PMs and requests over the last few months for progress updates, and an ETA on the CannaPharm
book, as well as requests for updates in the thread; don't worry, I've been putting every spare moment I have into getting it
done!
Things have been very busy, locally, with old and new patients. I'm already beginning year two of my trial grows with the
MBS strain, from the Wizards of Oz, and I've been teaching a few more local and online classes on growing and cooking each
month, than I was this time last year (more than I can handle comfortably to be honest!). I also was recently asked to speak
at a new
'Marijuana World Summit', which (I believe) I will accept.
So things have been busy!
I'm completing the
final-final draft of the first volume (had formatting issues which delayed the pre-holiday release), but
the holidays and their consequential meals and treats gave me plenty of extra ammo to squeeze in.
A few of the below recipes
will be available in the CannaPharm thread, and the rest, as well as a dozen or so more, including
fresh, streamlined and 'more-concise' oil tutorials, will be included in the first book!
As always, the oil and tincture updates will be available for free, online; they are the most crucial aspect in any edible, and
everyone deserves to know how to medicate properly.
Availability of information, for those who need it most, is the main reason I was not just apprehensive to accept publishing a
book, but why I was totally against it, and why I instead devoted the last twelve or thirteen years to assisting as many people
as possible within the community online, where anyone with an internet connection or a town library can have access.
People
need free access to the most important information, just as much as they need affordable access to their meds.
Making donations and providing assistance to those who need it most without any concern for compensation, have been
rules I've governed myself by.... which could explain my car-less-ness, and the fact I'm living in a foreclosed house, hoping
every day that I don't get the word I'm on the streets.
Finally publishing should improve my spirits concerning the above... in spite of anything I've been through, medically
and with the quality of my life, I think the book will make me feel a little more proud of the footprint I've left on the world,
when I can't be around to help anymore.
But if it wasn't for the motivation I received here, and from other members of the online community, there would never have been
even a
thought about a book!
In spite of my initial stubbornness, you folks convinced me to see that, internet aside, there is
definitely value in having a hard
copy of the information, in-hand, while working in the kitchen.
So
thank you.
I truly hope that I can meet your expectations, and that the paper version of the CannaPharm helps to make your own
canna kitchens, all the more functional!
Anyhow, without further ado....
All the dishes in the photo below, including the berries and the cranberry punch, were VERY potent... a bit too much
when combined, for a few people (this does
not include any of the 'unadulterated' dishes, that guests brought
).
Some New Year's Eve shots...
The oil below began with a strong batch of mixed
indica hash oil, cut down, to decrease and level out potency, with
our
favorite canna oil of the season made from the popcorn buds of the
TRCP#3 (creating a powerful dose per cap, for
most patients, or a three or four cap dose for myself).
Each jar and bottle below, along with a few smaller gift bags with caps and chocolates, were
given to the local
patients most in-need and those who had suffered the most hardship this year... enough for most to medicate daily, until
at least spring!
Another Xmas, or New Year bowl of
MBS....
Had a very small group here for Christmas, these were the medicated dishes.... the
Moose Pops contain 4 solid doses for
most patients, the
Hashy Bars contain 4 - 6 doses (these were also given as gifts!)....
Half are 'Holiday Candy Cane' flavor, such as the fellow with the painted toenails, the rest were Original, Orange, and Amaretto.
More New Year's Eve, shots....
Project TRCP#3 flowers, with
POG#8 shatter....
Blueberry Widow.... greasy with terpenes *droool*!
More
MBS, with it's wonderful helices of various purple-blue-red anthocyanins, throughout the trichomes...
I made SIXTEEN of these
ChiCanna Cordon Bleu rolls for brunch, with and without shrimp (lol
), New Year's Day!
Those who wanted to toast, rather than kiss at Midnight, did so with these, and
another drink included in the book....
Now some Autumn and Halloween stuff's...
Healthy Ghosts, with omega oils, alfalfa, hemp protein, collagen and more!
Some not-so-healthy, and
very decadent,
Canna EYEBALLS with
Raspberry HASH-Blood Jell!
And some 'Restaurant Style'
Chinese Chicken Noodle Hash Soup, with little
Jack-o'-lantern Hash Truffles....
Another New Year's Even bowl or two.....
A
Lemon Haze shatter drop, on
MBS...
And finally, a treat I've been making all year
thanks to a GC member request (I'm finally following through on the pics &
tutorial, so look out for the book!
)....
Hashy Meringue Mushrooms!
There's nothing fungal, or psychedelic, about these little 'hash oil imbued' fellows... in case anyone was concerned
And again, here are the crucial oil recipes for anyone who needs them now;
Yes- The oils recipes CAN be followed using
clarified butter, and if you're using
pre-vaped bud, just skip decarboxylation
where activation has already taken place, and continue processing -just- as described in the tutorial, to promote complete
extraction, and most importantly,
bioavailability!
BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Cannabis Concentrate (Edible & Smokable recipes included...
similar to Phoenix Tears/RSO & BHO, but bioavailable and made with food grade/drinking alcohol.
The tutorial can ALSO
be used for making edible & bioavailable oil from any BHO or other concentrates you may already have!
You may dissolve in alcohol and transfer the solution to oil, or manually agitate as-is, in warm oil, then continue
heating -just- as described to form a bioavailable solution.)
-Medical Grade Cannabis Concentrate-
BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Hash Oil (starting with
dry-sift hash, same as capsule recipe,
oil can also be used for cooking)
Med-Grade Hash Oil
BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Canna Oil (starting with
flowers/bud/trim etc)
Med-Grade Canna Oil
And that just about concludes my 'little tease' preview
I just want to
thank you all, again, for being SUCH an inspirational, motivational community! Like any family, there are the
trouble-makers and black sheep, but for the most part I wouldn't have this place any other way... I love you guys!
