'There is still a stereotype of marijuana smokers as a dumb surfer guy or a gangster but it's just not the case any more,' she said. 'The marijuana market is growing rapidly, I think its going to be the new money. 'Marijuana is the new medicine, it's the new recreation, it's the new booze, marijuana is already a massive market. 'Marijuana is the hero that's coming to save the day. 'It's coming to save nana from morphine and shrinking cancerous tumours.' Watermelon has been at the forefront of campaigns to legalise recreational marijuana in Vancouver, Canada - which has 61 medicinal marijuana dispensaries. She has her own online cooking show Baking A Fool of Myself where she demonstrates her recipes .

Since launching her show on YouTube, in 2002, Watermelon has been attracting attention from all over the world and currently has over 5,000 subscribers. She said: 'People have responded so well to the show. The first question is what blender do I use, the second is usually, "will you marry me?". 'I started smoking pot in my 20s and got involved in baking when I moved back from from New York. 'My friend had a bag of marijuana in the basement and I decided to bake up a batch of pot cookies.

'I see the marijuana industry going super mainstream.' Watermelon's mother, Mary Elizabeth Dunsdon, 72, taught her how to bake and  assists her daughter in the kitchen. Mary Elizabeth said: 'I grew up in the 1940s, 50s and 60s and to me, only gangsters did anything with drugs. 'When Watermelon started baking with marijuana I went out and bought a big fat book on cannabis so I could understand it better and feel comfortable helping her. 'She educated me about how to use it and I saw that it's not about going out and getting stoned.' However, for Watermelon, mainstream acceptance has been a long road. She said: 'Back when I started out with the show everybody was like wow, that's really sweet, but totally inappropriate for television. 'We were ahead of our time and have just been waiting for the world to catch up.' Watermelon,who has drawn comparisons with Nigella Lawson's provocative approach to cooking, sells her baked goods to ten legal marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver.
