News21’s Emi Sasagawa, Sean Logan and Kelcie Johnson traveled to California to report on how cannabis culture has changed. They met YouTube star Aurora Leveroni, also known as Nonna Marijuana.

She started cooking with cannabis four years ago. Since then, she’s reached more than 1.5 million views.

At 92 years old, she hopes to write and publish a cannabis cookbook in the next few years.

In this video, Leveroni explains her first – and only – experience smoking marijuana.

She said marijuana took too much control over her: “I can’t handle that.”
