Food As Medicine: An Interview with Sous Weed & Potli
Salt-Cured Cannabis Leaves by Monica Lo, Sous Weed
Felicity Chen (CEO, Potli®) and I had the opportunity to connect with Jamie Evans (Founder, The Herb Somm) after our Cannabis in Ancient Asia discussion at the world-renowned Asian Art Museum to further discuss cannabis as a healing herb that belongs in your kitchen pantry.

Correcting the narrative on cannabis use is crucial to understanding its healing properties as a wellness tool and our ancestral medicine. As industry leaders, we have a responsibility to course-correct and create the change we wish to see. I believe it’s important to uncover more about cannabis use in Ancient Asia in order to pave the way to cultural accessibility of the health benefits of cannabis. By reclaiming cannabis as a part of traditional Chinese medicine’s healing repertoire, we can help de-stigmatize and demystify within our Asian American Pacific Islander communities, where this beneficial herb has been met with strong resistance.
Good food heals. Cannabis heals. I believe they’re both incredibly powerful medicine. I’m so humbled that Sous Weed® has grown to become so much more than just a recipe blog but a platform for education and advocacy.
