About
Sailene Ossman is the ultimate hostess, pioneer and advocate of cannabis culture. Elevating the cannabis experience for eager guests through education stokes her fire. From being the owner of a premiere cannabis delivery service in Los Angeles, to her Merry Jane network cooking show Smoke In The Kitchen, to hosting Glowing Goddess Getaways and Privée Social Club parties around the United States, Sailene has been entertaining, educating, and elevating with cannabis for decades.
Sailene is the author of CBD Cocktails: Take the edge off with over 100 relaxing recipes. This full-color book features one of the hottest trends in craft cocktails: CBD, the non-psychoactive extract from cannabis that aids anxiety, pain relief, and insomnia.
As queen of Venice, California’s Abbot Kinney since the mid-90s, when she managed Abbot’s Habit, the legendary hub of the local community, she was a public figure with a secret life. In addition to the coffee shop, for those in the know, she ran the equally legendary (no-name) cannabis delivery service, which kept the locals supplied with their favorite herb.
As legalization and normalization progressed, Sailene emerged out of the green closest as one of cannabis’ most trusted advocates. Never losing sight of her sense of mission and love for the plant, she branched out in a variety of ventures.
The web series, Smoke in the Kitchen with Mama Sailene, introduced her love of food, cannabis, and entertaining to an international audience. Her upscale pop-up events and private parties for the likes of P. Diddy, proved that cannabis-enhanced social gatherings could be as elegant as they were fun.
Her support of charitable and political organizations such as the Los Angeles Cannabis Task Force, California Cannabis Advocates, Mexican and Northern California Disaster Relief has made her a fixture at community meetings and demonstrations. And her work with the exploding Glowing Goddess Getaways, a series of women’s empowerment retreats, has become the coveted golden ticket in cannabis circles.
As marijuana loses its historical stigma, cannabis and CBD products have begun to flood the market, making the healthful benefits derived from CBD accessible to all, whether marijuana has been legalized where you live or not. If it hasn’t, it soon will be, as everyone has begun to learn of the incredible benefits derived from this miracle plant. Sailene’s lifelong love of the healing herb brings to life Rolling Stone magazine’s apt description of her. “The goddess earth mother you always wished you had...Mama Sailene, the nurturing and cheery feminist cannabis guru.”

Held in a variety of beautiful natural settings, these expertly curated retreats are inclusive, inspiring, and transformative. With an upcoming series of events slated for 2020, perhaps the only two questions you need to ask are first, “Where do I sign up?” and, second, “When do we leave?”
