Bite Me The Show About Edibles

What's your personality type?

Your kitchen can be the best dispensary you’ll ever have, but only if cannabis cooking stops feeling like a one-off science project. I’m Margaret, and I’m sharing the shift that makes edibles easier, faster, and far more consistent: build a cannabis pantry. When you keep a few pre-made, clearly labeled infusions on hand, you can turn everyday meals into cannabis edibles by swapping ingredients or using a simple ratio, with no last-minute decarb, no repeated infusion steps, and far fewer dosing surprises at night.

We walk through five staple...

What's your personality type?

You can learn a lot about someone by how they handle an edible, especially the part nobody talks about: the wait. That long, information-free stretch between “I took it” and “oh, there it is” turns into a mirror for how we deal with uncertainty, control, and the urge to fix discomfort fast.

We walk through five edibles personality types plus a bonus outlier, and you will recognize yourself or your friends immediately. There’s the Scientist who tracks dosage and onset like a lab study, the YOLO who treats milligrams as a vibe and...

What's your personality type?

The weirdest “secondhand high” isn’t smoke drifting across a room, it’s the aftershock of telling someone you love that cannabis is part of your life. When a friend, parent, partner, or co-parent finds out you use cannabis or make edibles at home, the hardest part often isn’t dosing or infusion, it’s finding words that don’t trigger fear, shame, or a fight.

I walk through why these conversations can feel so loaded: cultural residue from prohibition, the one-sided “experience gap,” and the added pressure when cannabis is still illegal wher...

What's your personality type?

A kid goes from hospice care to riding bikes again, and suddenly the cannabis conversation stops being theoretical. We sit down with Sasha, Executive Director of Realm of Caring, to unpack how that kind of outcome sparked a nonprofit that now helps tens of thousands of people navigate cannabinoid therapy with less fear and more facts.

We talk about what “taking the confusion out of cannabis” actually looks like when you’re a patient, a parent, or a caregiver. Sasha explains the biggest misconceptions she still runs into, why cannabis stigma stays...

What's your personality type?

Sweet, salty, and perfectly dosed, this one starts with a craving for spring and ends with a bowl of honey roasted peanuts that actually fit real-life snacking. We kick off with the joy of longer days, garden plans, and why growing cannabis outdoors can reset your relationship to patience and flavor. That seasonal shift pairs with a personal update on a parent’s cancer journey and how steady CBD and CBG support can sit alongside treatment, a reminder that thoughtful cannabinoids and thoughtful cooking share the same values: intention and care.

What's your personality type?

Ever tried to make cannabis honey that tasted delicious but didn’t do a thing? We dig into the simple chemistry that turns pretty jars into potent pantry staples, then show you how to nail it with a small dose of fat, a 30‑minute method, and clean, consistent results. This is a practical, step-by-step walkthrough designed for curious home cooks who want reliable edibles without masking flavors or buying new gadgets.

If you’re ready to swap butter-laden edibles for elegant, versatile sweeteners that actually work, this one’s for your kitchen...

What's your personality type?

What happens when a 15-year daily habit meets a hard reset? We sit down with Madison to unpack the real story behind a month-long tolerance break, the switch to intentional microdosing, and why chasing THC percentages can leave you numb to what actually helps. From first puffs with friends to parenting three busy kids, quitting cigarettes with herbal blends, and navigating depression with care, Madison brings candor, humor, and a practical toolkit anyone can use.

If you’re curious about tolerance breaks, ready to try microdosing, or tired of being told to...

What's your personality type?

A single slice of cake in the back of the freezer set off a night we won’t forget and a conversation every home edible maker needs to hear. We open with a warm note from a Scottish listener, then move into a story I didn't think I'd ever have to share.

We close with something you can make tonight: a coffee-crusted pork tenderloin that’s bold, tender, and budget-friendly. For infusion, finish individual servings with measured infused olive oil or butter, so everyone at the table gets the dose that’s righ...

What's your personality type?

Hungry for something cozy that also respects your dose? We serve up a sweet potato chili that hits the infused comfort food button while giving you total control over your edible experience. Instead of infusing the whole pot, we finish each bowl with measured drops of infused oil, so every guest gets the right amount and you can still go back for seconds without overshooting.

What's your personality type?

What if the best dispensary is already in your kitchen? We dive into the real-world playbook for making safe, affordable cannabis edibles without pricey gadgets, and we show how homemade infusions preserve culture, deepen community, and return control to the cook. From the first careful batch of butter to confident dosing and recipe creativity, this conversation breaks down the myths that keep people on the sidelines and replaces them with clear steps, simple tools, and a welcoming ethos.

Along the way, we contrast store-bought consistency and fast-onset tech with the soul...

What's your personality type?

The best cannabis stories rarely start perfect. Wayne’s first brownie was straight ground flower in batter, woody and weak, made in a tiny farm town with zero guidance. Today, his routine is dialed: jar-decarbed flower for richer terpenes, tiny eight-gram cookies for precise microdosing, and a simple rule that keeps him sharp, minimum effective dose, maximum benefit.

We go deep on how edibles can replace alcohol without sacrificing fun or focus, dismantle the lazy stoner myth with real habits and talk community, access, and why walking into a dispensary is le...

What's your personality type?

Start with a pan, end with a choice. We’re making a bright, lemony sheet pan cod with crisp potatoes and garlicky greens, then finishing with a silky lemon butter you can keep classic or infuse to taste. It’s flavor-first cooking for real life, fast, flexible, and friendly to every kind of diner at the table. This recipe comes from Chef Adam Vandermay of Your Canna Chef.

If you’ve been curious about cannabis cooking but want control, clarity, and great food, this episode shows how to bring it all togeth...

What's your personality type?

What happens when a Vancouver budtender returns to Australia with a new language for cannabis and a mission to make it make sense? We sit down with Paul O’Donoghue, host of the Give and Toke podcast, to unpack the real-world tradeoffs between Canada’s fast-track legalization and Australia’s guarded medical model. From legacy growers and craft quality to overpackaging, dry flower, and clunky distribution, Paul shares how early missteps in Canada created friction and how direct delivery, farm-gate models, and patient-centered thinking can rebuild trust.

Paul’s story moves from exp...

Ready for a laugh that actually sticks? We dive into why cannabis can make comedy feel sharper, kinder, and wildly more contagious, and we do it without the tired stereotypes. From the first spark of a giggle fit to the last tear of joy, we unpack what’s happening in your brain, how attention shifts toward the present, and why jokes land harder when your inner critic loosens its grip.

If this conversation made you smile, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and drop your comedy recommendations in the co...

New year, fresh page, no guilt goals. We’re kicking off 2026 by swapping fragile resolutions for a playful, practical system that actually sticks: a yearlong Bingo Card.

A vanished batch of peppermint cookie bars turns a quiet holiday prep into a whirlwind of mystery, laughter, and craft—and it all starts with a fruitcake. We open the doors of the Bite Me Cannabis Club to find twinkling lights, a missing “Santa’s Special Reserve,” and a community ready to rally. What looks like a disaster becomes a tour through joy: Shady Pines residents riding a gentle high, debating Beatles lyrics, and surprising everyone with the kind of old-school expertise that can save a show and reinvent a recipe.

Holiday kitchens run on memory, spice, and a dash of chaos—and this two-tone eggnog fudge doubles as a smart, shareable edible. I walk you through a glossy Food & Drink magazine inspiration and show how to make it real at home: a creamy eggnog base with vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, topped by a pink, fruit-forward layer kissed with rum. I share the practical steps, infusion choices, and the exact mistakes that turned my glass-top stove into a smoke machine.

What's your personality type?

Your kitchen might be the best dispensary you’ll ever have, but the real magic happens in your brain. We pull back the curtain on the endocannabinoid system and show how edibles—especially THC—bind to CB1 receptors, ripple through dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, and shape everything from euphoria to anxiety to time distortion. If you’ve noticed that your favorite gummy doesn’t hit like it used to, there’s a reason: tolerance builds as your brain downregulates receptors. The good news is that sensitivity can return faster than you think with a short, int...

What's your personality type?

Curious whether cannabis can actually help your dog or cat—and how to do it without risking a scary night of wobbling and worry? I sit down with veterinarian Dr. Casara Andre to unpack a safe, practical roadmap for pet parents who want evidence-based guidance, not guesswork. From the endocannabinoid system’s (ECS) role in pain, mood, and balance to the real differences between THC and CBD in animals, this conversation translates complex science into clear steps you can use today.

We explore why dosing isn’t simply about body weight, how bi...

What's your personality type?

Holiday tables can be loud and the myths about cannabis are often louder. We wanted to arm you with clarity, compassion, and receipts. So we take on four of the most persistent stereotypes: the “lazy stoner,” the forgetful lightweight, the gateway narrative, and the idea that cannabis users are unhealthy or addicted by default. Using current research, historical context, and stories from our own kitchen, we separate temporary effects from enduring traits and show how intention, dosing, and education change everything.

If you’re heading into family conversations, we’ve got your tal...

What if comfort food could be quick, and perfectly dosed for everyone at the table? We’re taking a humble can of pumpkin and spinning it into a glossy, creamy pasta that delivers big flavor with simple steps—and we’re pairing it with a smarter edibles strategy that puts you in control. No guesswork, no overdoing it, just a flexible, crowd-friendly dish you can serve on a busy weeknight or as a calming counterpoint to holiday chaos.

That’s the charge running through our conversation with Ishqa Hillman, founder of Canna Boss Babes, whose personal healing journey with cannabis led to a platform elevating women, creating real opportunities, and challenging the systems that keep small operators on the ropes.

We start where change usually does: at home, wide awake, and out of options. Sensitive to pharmaceuticals and drawn to plant medicine, Ishqa used cannabis to sleep, breathe, and slowly re-enter th...

Cooking, culture, and a plant with a complicated past converge in a wide‑ranging conversation with filmmakers Patty Mooney and Mark Schulze, the duo behind Nectarball: The Story of Cannabis. What started at the Emerald Cup became a seven‑year journey across South Africa, Europe, and the Americas, capturing 165 candid interviews with nurses, scientists, growers, and icons like Tommy Chong and Ed Rosenthal, without a single line of narration. The result is a living archive of voices that demystify cannabis while honoring its roots

A virtual Halloween cook-along, a cryptic newcomer named Shadow Weaver, and a blackberry gummy that turns the night electric, this is the story of how a simple edible became a shared moment of wonder. We gather at the High Table with costumes, cobwebs, and a plan to swap recipes, then stumble into a poetic set of instructions that walk the line between kitchen craft and kitchen spell. The result is a deeply purple, precisely dosed treat we can all make at home, wrapped in a mood that invites curiosity and play.

Coffee should taste like fall and feel like focus. I show you how to make a silky pumpkin spice creamer with real pumpkin, warm spices, and an infused maple syrup that delivers calm clarity in the morning.

Start with a kitchen timer and an open mind. We’re digging into how a long, loving relationship with cannabis changes as life changes—and how a mindful reset can make every milligram count again. With public health researcher and cannabis educator Amanda Reiman, we connect the dots from early Bay Area dispensary lounges born out of the HIV/AIDS movement to today’s crowded shelves, where choice is abundant but guidance is rare.

We talk about the real reasons tolerance can drop as we age, especially for women, through the lens o...
