Bite Me The Show About Edibles

Send us Fan Mail Cannabis didn’t suddenly appear in modern wellness culture, it has been part of human survival, medicine, and material life for thousands of years. We take a fast but grounded walk through 10,000 years of cannabis history, starting with early cultivation in ancient China and moving through India, Egypt, and the wider ancient world where cannabis shows up as pain relief, ritual sup...

Send us Fan Mail A cannabis edible recipe slipped into a major American cookbook in 1954 and it wasn’t treated like a scandal, it was treated like food. That single detail opens a door into a much older, stranger, and more human history of cannabis edibles than dispensary shelves would have you believe. I take you from Paris salons to modern kitchens through the story of Alice B. Toklas and the in...

Send us Fan Mail Alcohol-free doesn’t have to mean joy-free, and a glass of sparkling water doesn’t have to feel like you got benched from the celebration. I’m talking cannabis-infused mocktails that bring back the ritual: the fancy glass, the garnish, the first cold sip, and the feeling that you’re fully participating, just on your own terms. We make my current warm-weather staple, the Birthday W...

Send us Fan Mail Your kitchen can make better cannabis medicine than a factory line, and Robin Swan is here to explain why. We sit down with the founder of Swan Apothecary to talk about DIY cannabis edibles as a form of self-reliance, community care, and yes, a little bit of rebellion. Robin traces cannabis medicine through indigenous herbalism and historical extraction practices, then brings it r...

Send us Fan Mail You can make the most loving thing in your kitchen with a pound of butter, a bag of weed and a little responsibility. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to cook cannabis for someone else: a parent dealing with a diagnosis, a partner in the middle of a hard medical stretch, a friend with chronic pain, or anyone who overwhelmed by life right now. That’s mutual aid, and can...

Send us Fan Mail A terminal prognosis changes what you’re willing to question and what you’re willing to try. I’m Margaret, and I sit down with Jay Jay O’Brien, certified medical cannabis educator, executive director of EducANation, and author of High Hopes for Healing , to talk about what happens when cannabis stops being a vague idea and becomes part of a cancer support plan. We get honest about...

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to ruin a good edible is to treat it like a mystery. One night you “feel nothing,” take another piece, and regret it later. Another night you take a normal dose and the couch eats your entire plan. That roller coaster is not a character flaw, it’s the slow feedback loop of cannabis edibles: digestion, liver metabolism, and a long delay between what you ate and what...

Send us Fan Mail Your body has a built-in system designed to work with cannabinoids, and once you understand it, edibles make a lot more sense. We’re talking about the endocannabinoid system (ECS): what it is, why scientists only officially identified it in the 1990s, and how it quietly regulates mood, pain modulation, sleep cycles, appetite, memory, and immune function in the background every day...

Send us Fan Mail Your next good morning might already be sitting in the fridge. We’re making Figgy Overnight Oats, a make ahead breakfast you can prep in about 10 minutes the night before and eat the moment you wake up. It’s bright from orange zest, naturally sweet from dried figs, and hearty enough to actually keep you full.  Along the way, we zoom out to the bigger cannabis wellness picture. I s...

Send us Fan Mail Chocolate is comfort, but guessing your edible dose is stress. We’re not doing stress today. I’m Margaret, a Certified Ganjier and TCI Certified Cannabis Educator, and I’m walking you through the easiest 3 ingredient homemade cannabis infused chocolate from scratch. It tastes like real chocolate and lets you calculate your dose down to the milligram. We start with the ingredient t...

Send us Fan Mail Most cannabis edibles are engineered around a number on a label, not the experience in your mouth. That’s why this conversation with Chef Julian Rose hits so hard: he’s a master chocolatier and master pastry chef who now serves as Director of Research at INSA in Massachusetts, and he refuses to treat infused chocolate and cannabis gummies like an afterthought. From savory edibles...

Send us Fan Mail What if your next jar of cannabis gummies took less time than a dispensary run and cost a fraction of the price? Today I’m walking you through a quick, beginner-friendly gummy method I stumbled back into after finding a LĒVO recipe card in my drawer and realizing it was exactly the kind of reliable recipe new edible makers need.  Find the full recipe on the website and let me know...

Send us Fan Mail You can make homemade cannabis edibles without turning your kitchen into a science lab. I'm sharing five genuinely tasty options that take under 20 minutes from start to first bite, designed for busy schedules, low-energy days, and anyone who wants minimal cleanup with dependable results. We talk about what “easy” should actually mean in the edibles world: fewer dishes, less...

Send us Fan Mail 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 swappin...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail 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 thes...

Send us Fan Mail 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 o...

Send us Fan Mail 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.

Send us Fan Mail 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 depress...

Send us Fan Mail 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....

Send us Fan Mail 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.

From the first careful batch of butter to confident dosing and recipe creativity, this conversation breaks down the my...

Send us Fan Mail 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...

Send us Fan Mail Start with a pan, end with a choice.
