She embodies the counterculture combo of Chelsey Handler, Dan Savage and Tommy Chong—with a little Barbra Streisand thrown in for good measure. In Sex Pot, Mamakind tells it like it is, answering any and all burning questions regarding the pleasures of the flesh, mind & spirit and wherever the three shall meet.
She deftly helps her readers negotiate those sticky situations in which with the little help from marijuana, desire and rage collude to make sex an ecstatic event. How can role-play and pre-arranged signals between lovers raise the heat in a sexual encounter? And what’s a parent to do when challenged by a little one about the noises and scents emanating from behind closed doors?

Like Tommy Chong, Mamakind (a/k/a Lisa Kirkman) was born in the University Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta and raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She attended the Universities of Lethbridge, Calgary and Poona (Pune, India) working toward a degree in Religious Studies.
After the birth of her first child, Mamakind moved to British Columbia to pursue her love of cannabis and passion for writing and editing with Cannabis Culture magazine, heading out on a long road of anti-prohibition activism. While in BC, she founded a medical cannabis dispensary (the Sunshine Coast Compassion Club Society), was a contributor to Cannabis Health Journal, started her own cannabis-related advertising directory, had another baby and was convicted of growing medical cannabis for her sick husband in 2005. MK started contributing to SKUNK Magazine the same year, answering stoners' sex & relationship questions and later moved to Montreal, Quebec to become SKUNK's Senior Editor and Sales Director.
After two-and-a-half years of writing, editing and activism in Quebec, after winning a lengthy and public legal battle with the American Government who had kidnapped her child on the grounds that writing about sex & pot makes you a bad parent, Mamakind recently moved back to her hometown of Calgary to raise her children, continue her antiprohibition activism and contributions to SKUNK as Editor-at-Large, as well as entering the world of book writing with the first collection of her work, the highly acclaimed "SexPot: The Marijuana Lover's Guide to Getting' It On," published by Guru of Ganja Ed Rosenthal. Mamakind also co-wrote "Happy Buds" with Ed Rosenthal & Anna Foster.
Mamakind continues to freelance; she was the first female blogger on Celebstoner.com; her work has appeared on websites throughout the world and in a cover story of the May `09 issue of High Times. She was featured in the December 2011 Penthouse magazine, as well as the March 2012 issue of Hustler magazine and she is now the official "Asshole of the Month" columnist for Hustler Canada.
Mamakind has been a guest speaker at various international events, rallies and protests, such as the 20th Nimbin Mardi Grass in Australia. She's developed a writing course called "I Wanna Write for the Pot Magazines," for professional and amateur journalists interested in breaking into cannabis-related publications.
You can find her blogs on CelebStoner.com, CannabisCulture.com, ThePuffingtonHost.com, Chess.com, as well as on her own website www.MAMAKIND.com and her PG-rated blog, Mamakind School Daze. She is a federally-licensed medicinal cannabis consumer and cultivator and three of her favorite strains are DJ Short's "Flo", Serious Seeds' "AK47," Sensi Seeds' "Skunk #1" and as of late, "Mullumbimby Madness."
She was one of the first persons possibly anywhere to legally vaporize cannabis on a commercial flight.
Mamakind is working toward her Communications Studies degree in Print & Online Journalism, starting with full-time studies at SAIT.
I don't know about you....but this book really "hit the spot" for me by combining my two favorite things, sex and weed. I couldn't be any more excited about picking this book up. There is so much good advice from Mamakind all throughout the book and each tidbit is as helpful, sexy, and humorous as the next. She answers all the questions you don't feel comfortable asking-from fetishes to foreplay to polygamy and everything in between. There are lots of fun-to-do quizzes all through the book as well which are sometimes scary accurate. I've never picked up a book like this, but I'm really glad I did...which is not something I can say for all my past sexual experiences if you know what I mean. Unlike some sexual encounters that you may later on regret, this book provides the full thrill experience of your favorite time-and it's something I would surely repeat! A sexy and stoney read to share with your friends, partner, but most importantly yourself. ;)
I myself am not a marijuana smoker. I've taken a few puffs in my day, but I don't care for the burning sensation in my throat. Plus, Irish Granny and Yiddish granny smoked cigarettes and both ended up with lung diseases that left them barely able to walk to the mailbox. That doesn't look like too much fun. I'll eat a great many things baked into chocolate brownies, but the one time I ate a third of a pot brownie, I totally tripped out and had to go to bed, where I dreamed extremely vivid Technicolor cartoon dreams. That was the end of that phase of experimentation.
Still, I was excited to read Sex Pot: The Marijuana Lover's Guide to Gettin' It On by "cannabis columnist" Mamakind, also known as Lisa Kirkman (Quick American Publishing, August 2011). I love a good sex guide - and this is one. Does it devote pages to the combining of smoking weed with sexual activities? Yes, it certainly does.
It does more than that, though. Mamakind, experienced columnist for SKUNK Magazine, answers all kinds of sex questions. She's more than a columnist, though - she's an activist, and in this tome, she gets to wave the flag of freedom for all consenting adults who claim the right to make our own sexual (as well as pharmaceutical) choices. This erotica writer can't help but love her liberated love-and-let-love philosophy.
Mamakind herself is rather fascinating. She's a smart, pop culture-savvy, bisexual Canadian of Jewish descent whose BDSM preferences tend toward the submissive. (The cover portrays a curvy cartoon female with some serious red - and a pot leaf tattoo - on her behind. Mamakind's cartoon doppelganger?) She may be a self-confessed stoner, but she seems to know of which she speaks.
The questions she fields include:
*Is it possible for growing plants to soak up sexual energy? *Is my boyfriend normal? He wants to role-play that I age into an 80-year-old while we make love. *How can I get my penis to stop humming?
I half suspect that second question may be from Bella Swan, but that's beside the point. The point is, Mamakind makes some interesting and persuasive arguments. I liked her comparison of women as "candyfloss without the sticky" and of men as "the stick left over after the candyfloss, sticky included." (Apparently Canadians use the English word "candyfloss" where Americans would say "cotton candy.")
My favorite quote was this: "Love between consenting adults is never something to be avoided...nor is mind-blowingly good sex."
Wow Mamakind can write and what an imagination. Highly informative -guys you'll love this book. Mamakind speaks openly about sex and pot and subjects we all think about but surely aren't comfortably open about -Highly suggest this book to all -hmm maybe not pat robertson though?
