How to Host a Cannabis Holiday Party Everyone Enjoys (Even Aunt Linda)
Send us Fan Mail A holiday party can go from cozy to chaos with one unmarked brownie. We’ve all seen it: a “mystery plate” on the counter, guests grazing all night, and someone realizing far too late that they’ve accidentally eaten way more THC than they wanted. So we’re laying out a better way to host, one that feels festive, warm, and normal, not like a stoner party and definitely not like every bite is medicated. If you’re hosting this season, subscribe for more edible tips, share this with a friend who’s planning a party, and leave a review so more people can find safer, calmer cannabis hosting advice. I'm also putting together an episode of listener stories about how edibles changed your relationship with cannabis, and I'd love for your voice to be in it.

Haunted At The High Table: The Ghost Who Wanted The Dose
Send us Fan Mail On Halloween night, an oven in an old Vermont farmhouse turned itself on and climbed to exactly 240°F, which is decarb temperature. In this year’s Halloween cannabis edibles story, the Bite Me Cannabis Club gathers for our second annual High Table. A nervous first-time member finds a hidden recipe card from 1931 with one line left blank: “Strength.” What follows is a spooky, funny story about a ghost who wants an answer, a town that once got very high by accident and a community that refuses to let a beginner bake alone. This Halloween, pull up a chair, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people stop baking blind.

Cannabis Cheese Straws: Herb and Cheese Fatties From Snoop Dogg's Treats to Eat
Send us Fan Mail I pulled the tray out of the oven, looked at what I’d made, and laughed out loud. My first attempt at Herb and Cheese Fatties came out thick and goofy, more “campfire log” than cheese straw, even though they still tasted decent. So I did what I always do when I’m testing a cannabis edibles recipe: I made it again, fixed the variables, and took notes you can actually use. Recipe is on the website. We walk through Herb and Cheese Fatties from Snoop Dogg’s Treats to Eat, including the savory ingredient list, smart cheese swaps for Gruyere, and the step-by-step method for mixing, rolling, baking, and storing. Then I share the two biggest troubleshooting lessons: weigh your flour (a kitchen scale saves batches), and don’t be afraid to add a splash more cream if your dough is dry and shaggy because your cheese, your butter temperature, and even your kitchen can change the texture. If you like practical cannabis cooking tips, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves savory edibles, and leave a review so more home makers can find the show.

Cannabis Hot Apple Cider: Why I Dose the Mug, Not the Pot
Send us Fan Mail Your house smells like cinnamon and orange peel, the pot is bubbling, and everyone wants a mug. The problem with most cannabis-infused drinks is simple: when you infuse the whole pot, you lock everyone into the same edible dose, even though real-life gatherings are full of different tolerances, preferences, and people who are staying sober. Today I’m sharing the approach I wish I’d used years ago: make the cider for everyone, then add cannabis to each mug with precision. If you try this cider, tell me how you dosed it and how it went. Subscribe, share this with your favorite kitchen nerd, and leave a review so more people can learn safer, smarter edible dosing.

Cannabis Terroir: How Place Shapes the Flower in Your Jar
Send us Fan Mail A sun-warm tomato in August and a grocery-store tomato in February can share the same genetics and still taste like two different worlds. That’s the doorway into cannabis terroir: the idea that place shapes what ends up in your jar, not through magic, but through sun, temperature, fog, water, soil life, harvest timing, and the human choices that turn a crop into great flower. If you’re ready to notice more than a THC number, press play, share this with a friend who swears all weed tastes the same, and subscribe so you don’t miss what we’re testing next.

What Prohibition Teaches Us About Cannabis: The Alcohol Comparison Nobody Wants to Have
Send us Fan Mail A costume-party Prohibition story falls apart fast when you look at the body count. I’m digging into a fact I didn’t know until recently and can’t stop thinking about: an estimated 10,000 Americans died from poisoned alcohol during Prohibition, and a meaningful share of that harm traces back to deliberate government policy. When you criminalize something people still want, the demand doesn’t evaporate. The supply chain changes hands, quality control disappears, and the risk shifts onto the public. If this sparks thoughts about legalization, regulation, or repair, I want to hear them.

Same Soil, Same Hands: The Hidden History of Cannabis and the Organic Food Movement
Send us Fan Mail A tomato vine on a scrap-wood fence. A few chickens underfoot. And right there in the same Northern California garden, cannabis thriving in the exact same soil. That image unlocks a bigger truth: cannabis didn’t grow up as a separate cultural timeline. It rose beside the American organic food movement, driven by the same questions about trust, chemicals, and who gets to decide what’s “safe” to put in our bodies. I walk through the roots of that shift, starting with Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring and the growing suspicion of industrial farming. From there, we head into the back-to-the-land era, when thousands of people left cities to grow their own food, build co-ops, share techniques, and opt out of systems they no longer believed in. In Northern California’s Emerald Triangle, that mindset often meant one homestead, two crops: vegetables for the table and cannabis for the pipe, tended by the same hands with the same compost and the same values. We also name the messy parts. Cannabis becomes an income source for many communities. Organic and cannabis both go mainstream, and regulation brings real benefits in consistency and safety, while also turning living philosophies into labels, packaging, and premium markups. I bring it back to the kitchen where it belongs: if you’ve ever felt that back-to-the-land spark while making infused butter, dialing in your dose, or choosing your own ingredients for homemade edibles and topicals, you’re part of a much longer story than you might realize.

Hemp vs Marijuana: The Same Plant Split in Two by Politics
Send us Fan Mail One lab number can decide whether a field is “hemp” or “marijuana,” even when the plants are genetically identical. We pull apart the strangest part of modern cannabis law: the 0.3% delta-9 THC threshold, how it came from a decades-old research category, and how it turned into a life-changing line for farmers, consumers, and businesses across the United States. If you have ever wondered why something that looks and smells like weed can be sold as “legal hemp,” this will finally make the mess make sense.

Basecamp Trail Mix (And What's In Your Weed That Isn't THC or CBD)
Send us Fan Mail A few letters on a label can make a gummy look “scientific,” but does CBG, CBN, CBC, or THCV actually do what the marketing says? We get honest about minor cannabinoids, what the cannabis plant really contains, and why THC and CBD dominate the conversation even though they are only part of the story. To close, we share a Base Camp Trail Mix built for travel, made with toasted nuts, seeds, dried fruit, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and infused oil, plus practical dosing guidance before you portion. If you like evidence-based cannabis education and kitchen-first edibles, subscribe, share this with a friend who shops by label, and leave a review with the minor cannabinoid you want studied next. Blooper alert: somewhere in this episode I call the Dosage Calculator a "Dosage Calendar." I caught it during editing, decided it wasn't worth re-recording, and left it in for character.

No Bake Cannabis Stuffed Dates
Send us Fan Mail The Bite Me Version of Alice B. Toklas's Hashish Fudge: No Bake Cannabis Stuffed Dates. A cookbook from 1954 quietly slipped a cannabis “hashish fudge” recipe between roast chicken and jam and later editions removed it. That little act of edible history still matters, so we’re giving it a modern upgrade that works in real life, especially when it’s too hot to even think about turning on the oven. I’m remaking the idea as no-bake stuffed Medjool dates: whole dates split into pockets and filled with a spiced, fruit-and-nut mixture built around infused butter or infused coconut oil.

Birthday Watermelon Mint Fizz: A Cannabis Mocktail for Every Celebration
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 Watermelon Mint Fizz: fresh watermelon juice, lime, mint, sparkling water, a pinch of sea salt, and a measured amount of medicated simple syrup. It scales for a party, it feels special on a random Tuesday, and it’s a genuinely nice way to spend an afternoon without a hangover waiting for you tomorrow. I also share the simple “summer sipping” setup that keeps this easy all season: citrus, sparkling water, fresh herbs like basil and rosemary, and one small tool that upgrades everything.
