Smashing Pumpkin White Chocolate-Pumpkin Bars, Sweet Temptation Mango Sorbet,
and
Chocolate Almond Delights
. And now, Lazarus is ready to bring information about her baking techniques and her recipes to the nation.  With the medicinal use of marijuana now legal in 22 states and recreational use legal in 2,
Sweet Mary Jane
is the go-to book for baking with weed.
With beautiful photography throughout,
