Brownie Mary

"I make them for the worst of the patients, the ones on chemotherapy and the ones totally wasting away. I pick out the worst of the worst and turn them on."

"I'm not a criminal. I did nothing wrong. I was helping my kids. We desperately need medical marijuana in this country.."

"They can't drop the charges without saying I haven't done anything wrong. And if they do that, I'm going to ask for my marijuana back."

"I know from smoking pot for over thirty years that this is a medicine that works. It works for the wasting syndrome - - the kids have no appetite, but when they eat a brownie, they get out of bed and make themselves some food and for Chemotherapy - - they eat half a brownie before a session, and when they get out they eat the other half. It eases the pain. That's what I'm here to do."

"It's all about politics, and it's stupid."

"Brownie Mary gave her life for people that she didn't even know, essentially young people with AIDS and people who had been abandoned by their parents, by their friends. She took them into her heart, into her home and cared for them."
