Who is Miss Bliss

Deidra Bagdasarian, aka Miss Bliss, has been a beloved cannabis expert and products manufacturer in California for fourteen years. She is a long time activist and veteran leader in the cannabis industry who co-founded the High Times Cup and multi-award winning Bliss Edibles & Extracts in San Francisco in 2009. Soon after, she began teaching Edibles courses at Oaksterdam University, where she earned the enduring nickname “Miss Bliss”. 

She adopted a plant based lifestyle in 2011 and embraced the challenge of plant based baking. Through years of trial and error, she learned to create exceptionally delicious plant based confections. Integrating her love of plants in new ways with her culinary expertise was not only consistent with her food ethics, but it led to unintended healing in ways that exponentiated the power of cannabis….

“Bagdasarian recounted the inability of Prozac to assuage her depression.
She railed against accepted norms of big pharma, sugar, and a culture of chemicals.
But cannabis, Bagdasarian said, was a healer.”

-The Guardian

Education is the catalyst for change, so I see myself as an educator first and foremost…My mission is to utilize any and every platform I can to
speak the truth about this powerful, life-changing plant. I love educating!
