Nesbitt is a trained chef and owner of his own catering company. The company is called [Cannabis Catering](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farm-florist), and as you may have guessed, its style of cuisine is different from most. Nesbitt started the company when a diabetic friend’s mother was diagnosed with cancer. Marijuana is often prescribed to lessen the effects of chemotherapy. Cannabis Catering is a result of Nesbitt’s urge to find a way to give patients [their medication without inhaling smoke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-cannabis-gummies) or consuming high-sugar “[special brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benevolent-bakery-double-chocolate-brownie-mix)." Thus, all clients of the company must be accompanied by a legal prescription (and $100.00 per plate). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cannabis-infused Cuisine:** The trend of cannabis-infused cuisine presents opportunities for chefs to create innovative dishes that cater to patients' medicinal needs. - **Alternative Medication Delivery:** The trend of alternative medication delivery methods, such as cannabis catering, disrupts traditional modes of administration and provides a more patient-friendly option. - **Insight-driven Culinary Services:** The trend of insight-driven culinary services, like Cannabis Catering, taps into the medicinal benefits of cannabis while incorporating culinary expertise, offering a unique service to patients in need. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare and Catering:** The healthcare and catering industries can explore collaborations to provide cannabis-infused meals as a medicinal alternative for patients. - **Alternative Medicine and Entertainment:** The alternative medicine and entertainment industries can join forces to create cannabis-themed events featuring specialized catering services that offer a unique experience for attendees. - **Culinary Education and Wellness:** The culinary education and wellness industries can incorporate cannabis-infused cooking classes and nutritional programs to educate individuals on the medicinal benefits of cannabis in a responsible and controlled manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cannabis-Infused Cooking Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabisinfused-cooking.md) - [Cannabis Baking Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-baking-mixes.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Finishing Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ouid-chef.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Cooking Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-infused-cooking-oils.md) - [Blueberry Muffin Cannabis Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-bites.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Cooking Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cannabist-company-and-veda-warrior.md) - [Collaboratively Crafted Cannabis Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-cookie.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Mustard Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-on-rye.md) - [Salty-Savory Cannabis Edibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tsumo-snacks.md)
