She added that she didn't "go looking for" this opportunity but was something that was presented to her. She couldn't pass it up.

"As a chef, I was intrigued by the food and as an everyday person, I was interested in how powerful this topic is in today's society," she continued. "In this country, but this is so culturally important for us to learn and grow together. I hope you all will tune in, it's definitely going to be a good time!"

The contestants had personal and romantic relationships with the herb and they knew its intricacies: medically, chemically, spiritually and as an intoxicant. Further, there was a real sense of community and camaraderie." Will you be tuning in to this new Netflix show?
