That little QR code on your cannabis jar can be a shortcut to clarity or a trap you scroll past while chasing the biggest THC number. We’re breaking down how to read a cannabis Certificate of Analysis (COA) so it stops feeling like fine print and starts acting like what it is: a third-party lab report that can help you make safer, smarter choices for flower, concentrates, and especially edibles.

Find a sample COA on the website. 

If you’ve got a COA that’s confusing you, listen along, pull up your own lab report, and read it with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend who only shops by THC, and leave a review so more people learn how to use COAs with confidence.

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.

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. If you spotted it, send me a message and tell me. Bonus points if you tell me what a Dosage Calendar would even do.

Your edible math looks clean on paper, then the real world shows up: ovens run hot, flower potency is a guess, and your infusion method does not behave the way you expected. We sit down for a long-awaited listener Q&A and get practical about the stuff that actually changes your results, especially if you care about consistent cannabis edible dosing at home.

In this episode we cover:

• decarb experiments - to decarb or not to decarb
• water bath advice
• what to do with AVB
• which infusion device should I buy
• the best fat to cannabis ratio
• why no one infused hemp oil
• Bite Me successes and failures
• Bite Me: command, suggestion or preference?

That 9 p.m. moment is so real: you take a few hits or have an edible and you’re convinced you just unlocked your best work. Then morning comes, and your “master plan” reads like a confused note to yourself. So we’re asking the question most people skip: does cannabis make you more creative, or does it mainly make you feel more creative?

We walk through what the research says about THC dose and creativity, and explore how it can impact your creative practice. Listen in on why the takeaway is simple and usable. 

If you got something out of this, subscribe, share the episode with a creative friend, and leave a review so more curious people can find the show.

Owning your platform sounds nerdy until you try to move a community and realize you cannot export your own media. I'm sharing a candid Bite Me update on why the Bite Me Cannabis Club left Circle and now lives on my WordPress setup at bitemepodcast.com, what we gained by doing it, and what we are still smoothing out. 

Then we switch gears to what is coming next: a listener Q&A. Send your questions in by Monday, August 3rd, 2026. 

I also ask what you want from the 2027 content calendar, with possible topics like terpenes in edibles, the Cedeno method, and dream guests such as Dr. Riley Kirk or Dr. Miyabi Shields. 

Wrap up with a timely bonus: a refreshed Brazilian lemonade recipe page linked in the show notes.

The munchies are one of the most common cannabis side effects and one of the least understood. If you have ever gone from “I’m fine” to hovering over the fridge wondering who made you do this, we dig into what is actually happening in the brain when THC and the CB1 receptor system collide with appetite control. We then cover strategies that can help to mitigate the cannabis munchies.

If you’ve been blaming yourself, consider this your reset: the munchies are biology, and biology can be worked with. Subscribe for more evidence-informed edible and cannabis education, share this with a friend who fights the fridge, and leave a review with your best munchies strategy.

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.

If you make these, share how they turned out, and please subscribe, leave a review, and send this to a friend who wants better no-bake edibles with clear dosing math.

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 support, and everyday utility.

If you’re into cannabis education, edibles, hemp sustainability, or the real history behind legalization, hit play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more curious listeners can find us.

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 infamous “Hashish Fudge” recipe that made early editions of her cookbook a collector’s item. 

If you love cannabis education, edible dosage, and the real history of weed in the kitchen, you’ll want this one. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more curious cooks can find us.

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.

If you enjoy thoughtful, practical cannabis cooking with real-life dosing strategies, subscribe, share this with a friend who wants better mocktails, and leave a review so more curious cooks can find us.
