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

You’ll also hear about Mark’s rare Nectar Ball collection of landrace buds preserved since the 1970s, a window into genetics and terpenes that shaped today’s hybrid landscape. Whether you’re a home cook dialing in edibles, a patient curious about topicals, or a policy‑minded listener tracking de‑scheduling and SAFE Banking, this episode offers practical insight and a human compass. Stream Nectarball, support independent filmmakers, and pass it to someone who needs a thoughtful intro to modern cannabis.

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.

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 of the endocannabinoid system and hormones. Amanda walks through a practical 28‑day tolerance break, what those manageable withdrawal‑like blips mean, and a simple framework for re‑entry: define your goal, start low, go slow, and notice. We unpack mindful consumption as awareness without judgment, choosing non‑smoked methods when they serve you better, and finding your minimum effective dose so you feel more with less. That middle voice matters: between activism that denies risk and prohibition that denies benefit, the future lives in honest, harm‑reduction‑focused habits.

We also explore effect‑based edibles that pair cannabinoids, terpenes, and botanicals—think valerian for sleep, green tea and yerba mate for energy, CBN or THCV for targeted outcomes. It’s the entourage effect, leveled up. Along the way, we address why social consumption spaces support safety for naive users, how to shop smarter for CBD (hint: dispensary testing beats gas‑station labels), and why state‑funded research is finally unlocking studies the federal system stalled. Whether you’re recalibrating after years of daily use or starting fresh, this conversation offers practical tools to rebuild joy, reduce risk, and keep your relationship with the plant evolving with you.

If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a canna‑curious friend, and continue the conversation at the Bite Me Cannabis Club.

Ever wondered how to make the perfect cannabis-infused scone? You're about to find out with not just one, but three amazing variations to try at home.

For six years I've been cooking with cannabis, but somehow never ventured into making scones until now. After testing lemon-rosemary, frozen blueberry, and cheddar-jalapeño varieties, I'm ready to share everything I learned about creating these delightful treats. The process turns out to be remarkably simple, combine dry ingredients, cut in cold butter (pro tip: use a microplane grater for perfect results!), add wet ingredients, form, and bake. Twenty minutes later, you're enjoying warm, delicious scones with precisely the effects you desire.

Taking control of your cannabis consumption starts in your kitchen. When you make your own edibles, you determine exactly what goes into them and how potent they'll be. Whether you're cooking for yourself or sharing with informed friends, these scone recipes give you delicious options that far surpass what you'd find at a dispensary. Ready to try them yourself? Find complete recipes in the show notes, and come share your results with us at the Bite Me Cannabis Club. Your kitchen truly is the best dispensary you'll ever have!

Ever wondered what happens when culinary tradition meets cannabis innovation? Chef Adam Vandermay's Hollandaise sauce recipe transforms one of the five French mother sauces into a vehicle for gentle, controlled cannabis infusion that elevates everything from brunch classics to dinner staples.

My adventure with this recipe taught me a crucial lesson—patience truly is the key to culinary cannabis success. 

The beauty of this recipe lies in its versatility. While most associate Hollandaise with Eggs Benedict, this cannabis-infused version works magic drizzled over roasted asparagus, serves as a luxurious companion to grilled salmon or steak, and transforms ordinary roasted potatoes into something special. With just egg yolks, lemon juice, and infused butter, you can create a sauce that delivers both culinary delight and gentle therapeutic effects.

What happens when a professional chef decides to combine their culinary expertise with cannabis? Magic in the kitchen and a whole new approach to edibles.

Adam Vandermay, Executive Chef and co-founder of Your Canna Chef, takes us behind the scenes of his cannabis culinary journey, revealing how his relationship with the plant evolved from casual use to intentional consumption. "I went from just getting high to using the plant with intent," Adam shares, highlighting a maturity many cannabis enthusiasts develop over time.

The conversation dives deep into the art of cannabis cuisine, with Adam emphasizing precision over guesswork. His most valuable tip? Stop cooking with cannabis-infused oils as your base. Instead, use infusions as finishing elements—in sauces, glazes, and condiments—where you can control dosage with exactness. This approach eliminates the dreaded "mystery edible" problem where consumers don't know how potent their food will be. 

Beyond cooking techniques, Adam shares the remarkable story of how his culinary skills literally saved his life after hitting rock bottom. Following a difficult divorce, he traveled to Nicaragua with just $600 and rebuilt his life through cooking, eventually establishing a thriving private chef business. Today, that resilience and creativity power Your Canna Chef, where Adam hosts cooking classes and private dining experiences that showcase cannabis as a sophisticated culinary ingredient rather than just a way to get high.
