What Your Edibles Habit Says About You: Edibles Personality Types
Welcome back, friends! Today, we’re going on a playful, insightful journey into what your edibles habit reveals about your personality. Trust me, it’s more telling than your birth chart, more fun Meyers-Briggs and you can’t fudge the answers.
Let’s set the scene: You pop an edible, wait, and wait some more. That gap between eating and feeling is a crucible for your personality. How you handle that uncertainty – do you trust the process, panic, or forget you even took one? – is a window into your soul. Edibles are the ultimate personality x-ray, and today, I’m breaking down the five main edible personality types (plus a bonus) I’ve seen in my years as a cannabis educator.
Ready to see yourself in the gummy mirror? Let’s go.

Why Edibles? The Power of the Wait
The Five Edibles Personality Types (Plus One)
The Scientist: Precision, Data, and Control
Who They Are:
The Scientist approaches edibles like a lab experiment. They don’t just eat a gummy, they dissect it, measure it, and document every detail. Their edible journey is a carefully calibrated process.
Key Behaviors:
Precise Dosing: They cut gummies into exact portions, thirds, quarters, whatever the math demands.
Data Tracking: Every session is logged. They note the time, dosage, onset, and peak effects, often in a dedicated journal (like the Bite Me Edibles Journal!) or spreadsheet.
Experimentation: They’ve arrived at their ideal dose through methodical trial and error, not guesswork.
Risk Aversion: The Scientist is never the one texting, “I took too much.” They’ve engineered chaos out of the equation.
What This Says About You:
You’re analytical, detail-oriented, and probably the person everyone trusts to plan group trips. You might struggle to delegate and feel a twinge of guilt when you “just wing it.” You crave control and certainty, and while you might envy the YOLO’s carefree attitude, you know your system works for you.
Expert Advice for Scientists:
- Keep refining your process, but allow yourself the occasional unplanned experience. Sometimes, a little chaos is good for the soul.
- Share your data! Your meticulous notes can help friends find their own sweet spot.
- If you’re new to edibles, start with a low dose (2.5-5mg THC), track your experience, and adjust gradually.

The YOLO: Spontaneity, Optimism, and Occasional Regret
Who They Are:
The YOLO (You Only Live Once) type is the life of the party and sometimes the cautionary tale. They don’t read labels or count milligrams. If there are ten gummies, eight are gone before you can blink.
Key Behaviors:
Impulsive Consumption: Dosing is more of a suggestion than a rule.
Social Energy: The YOLO is chatty, energetic, and always up for an adventure, until the second hour hits.
Short Memory: After a wild ride, they’re ready to do it all again next weekend, lessons unlearned.
What This Says About You:
You’re an optimist, spontaneous, and the spark in any group. You believe every time will be different, and your enthusiasm is infectious. You might have a lot of Sagittarius energy, always ready for the next big thing.
Expert Advice for YOLOs:
- Try to slow down and read the packaging. Your future self will thank you.
- Pair up with a Scientist friend for a more balanced experience.
- Keep water and snacks handy, and have a cozy spot ready for when the “full-body vibe check” hits.

The Anxious Waiter: Caution, Curiosity, and Double Dosing
Who They Are:
The Anxious Waiter is the responsible one, at first. They take a reasonable dose, wait, and then start to worry when nothing happens. Google becomes their best friend and worst enemy.
Key Behaviors:
Responsible Dosing: Starts with a safe amount.
Impatience: If effects don’t kick in quickly, they take a little more.
Overthinking: They research, worry, and sometimes end up with a double dose when both servings hit at once.
What This Says About You:
You’re a thinker and a planner, uncomfortable with uncertainty. You want to do things right and often seek reassurance. You care deeply about outcomes, sometimes to your own detriment.
Expert Advice for Anxious Waiters:
- Remember: Edibles can take 30-90 minutes to kick in. Patience is your friend.
- Distract yourself during the wait, watch a show, go for a walk, or call a friend.
- If you’re new, stick to one dose per session until you know your personal timeline.

The Social Sharer: Generosity, Community, and Group Vibes
Who They Are:
The Social Sharer is the edible fairy godparent. They bring treats to every gathering, eager to share and make sure everyone’s having a good time.
Key Behaviors:
Generous Sharing: Always has extra edibles to pass around.
Group Focus: More concerned with others’ experiences than their own.
Caretaking: Checks in on everyone: “How are you feeling? Need water? Snacks?”
What This Says About You:
You’re a nurturer, happiest when you’re making others happy. Your love language is acts of service (and free gummies). You’re the glue in your friend group, but sometimes you forget to check in with yourself.
Expert Advice for Social Sharers:
- Track your own intake, too! It’s easy to lose count when you’re focused on others.
- Educate your friends about dosing and onset times, your knowledge is a gift.
- Keep a stash of water and snacks for the group, and maybe a notebook to jot down who’s had what.

The Sophisticated Micro Dose: Intentionality, Wellness, and Optimization
Who They Are:
The Sophisticated Micro Dose is here for enhancement, not intoxication. They treat edibles like adaptogens, tools for wellness, creativity, and focus.
Key Behaviors:
Low, Consistent Dosing: 2.5-5mg is their sweet spot, with rare exceptions.
Brand Loyalty: They care about formulation, terpenes, and quality – this can include homemade!
Integration: Edibles are part of a broader wellness routine like yoga, meditation, creative work.
What This Says About You:
You’re high-achieving, self-optimizing, and always looking for ways to improve. You have a skincare routine, opinions about supplements, and probably read Atomic Habits for fun.
Expert Advice for Micro Dosers:
- Don’t be afraid to let loose once in a while, sometimes, unproductive fun is the best kind.
- Experiment with different cannabinoids (like CBD or CBG) to fine-tune your experience.
- Share your routines and discoveries; you’re a trendsetter in the making.

Honorable Mention: The Forgetter
Who They Are:
The Forgetter buys edibles with the best intentions, then stashes them away and forgets about them. Months later, they rediscover their stash and dive in with zero planning.
Key Behaviors:
Out-of-Sight, Out-of-Mind: Edibles are forgotten in drawers, pockets, or bags.
Spontaneous Rediscovery: Finds them during cleaning or coat rotation.
Chaotic Neutral: Eats them all at once, no regrets, no plan.
What This Says About You:
You’re lovable, a bit scattered, and operate on your own timeline. You lose your keys, have too many browser tabs open, and bring delightful chaos wherever you go.
Expert Advice for Forgetters:
- Store edibles in a consistent, visible place to avoid accidental overconsumption.
- Check expiration dates before indulging in forgotten treats.
- Embrace your spontaneity, but maybe set a reminder or two.

Situational Habits: The When and Where of Edibles
Your edible personality isn’t just about how you dose, it’s about when and where you indulge. Here’s what your situational habits reveal:
Before a Movie, Alone at Home: You’re introspective, creative, and love to feel things deeply. You probably have a favorite comfort film and aren’t afraid to cry at Pixar.
Before a Social Event: You’re an extrovert with a dash of social anxiety. You want to be “on” but worry about timing. You’ve done the math and accepted the risk.
Before a Hike or Outdoor Activity: You’re intentional, present, and probably own at least one piece of Patagonia. Nature is your happy place.
Late Night, Alone in Bed: You’re seeking comfort, escape, or just a soft landing after a long day. This is your ritual, and it works for you.
Before a Work Task: You’re either a visionary or about to send the wildest email your coworker has ever seen. There’s no in-between.
The Real Takeaway: Edibles as a Mirror
Here’s the truth: How you handle an edible is a microcosm of how you handle uncertainty. That wait – the delay between action and result – is where your personality shines through. Some of us track every detail, some leap without looking, some worry, some nurture, some optimize, and some forget entirely.
None of these are wrong. They’re just you, your unique shape, your history, your way of moving through the world. Your edible habit isn’t something to fix but something to be celebrated! Which edibles personality type do you think you are?

Frequently Asked Questions On Edibles Personality Types
Episode 345: What Your Edibles Habit Says About You
THE BASICS
What is this episode about?
Episode 345 of Bite Me explores edibles personality types and what they reveal about you. Host Margaret, a certified Ganjier and cannabis educator, breaks down five main personality types (plus a bonus) based on how people approach, dose, and wait out the effects of edibles.
Why does Margaret think edibles reveal personality better than, say, a Myers-Briggs test?
Because you can’t fake it. The key is “the wait” – the delay between eating an edible and feeling the effects. How a person handles that uncertainty (do they stay the course, panic-eat another, track it in a spreadsheet, or forget they took one entirely?) is a genuine window into their character that no multiple-choice questionnaire can replicate.
How many personality types are covered?
Five main types plus one honorable mention: The Scientist, The YOLO, The Anxious Waiter, The Social Sharer, The Sophisticated Micro Dose, and The Forgetter. Margaret also covers situational habits — what it means based on when and where you take an edible.
THE PERSONALITY TYPES
Who is The Scientist?
The Scientist treats every edible session like a lab experiment. They cut gummies into precise portions, log the time of consumption, track onset and peak effects (often in a dedicated spreadsheet or journal), and have arrived at their ideal dose through careful experimentation. They have never, ever texted “I think I took too much.”
Who is The YOLO?
The YOLO doesn’t read the packaging or count milligrams. They’re energetic and chatty for the first hour, then go very quiet around hour two during what Margaret calls “a full-body vibe check.” By next weekend, they’ve forgotten the whole experience and are ready to do it again. Margaret notes they probably have a lot of Sagittarius energy.
Who is The Anxious Waiter?
The Anxious Waiter starts responsibly — reasonable dose, patient approach — but grows uneasy when effects don’t kick in on schedule. They Google symptoms, find both reassurance and sixteen new things to worry about, and then take “just a little more.” What they don’t account for: the first dose was working the whole time, quietly. Both doses then arrive together.
Who is The Social Sharer?
The Social Sharer brings edibles to every gathering (whether anyone asked or not), loves introducing people to new products, and is more focused on the group’s experience than their own. They check in constantly — “How are you feeling? Need water? I have snacks.” The shadow side: they often lose track of their own intake in the process.
Who is The Sophisticated Micro Dose?
The Sophisticated Micro Dose takes 2.5–5mg, has a preferred brand (not just a preferred product — formulation matters), and can discuss terpenes at length. Edibles are integrated into a broader wellness routine alongside adaptogens, cold plunges, and yoga. Margaret’s gentle note: occasionally eat the whole gummy and watch something dumb. You might enjoy it.
Who is The Forgetter?
The Forgetter bought edibles with full intentions, put them somewhere (a nightstand, a kitchen drawer, a coat pocket from November), and completely forgot about them. Six months later, during a cleaning sprint, they rediscover the stash and eat all of it with zero plan. Margaret describes them as “chaotic neutral” — not reckless, just operating on a different timeline.
Can I be more than one type?
Absolutely. Margaret specifically says you may be a combination, and invites listeners to share which type (or types) they identify with. The types are meant to be playful archetypes, not rigid boxes.
SITUATIONAL HABITS
What do situational habits mean, and why do they matter?
Beyond how you dose, when and where you take an edible adds another layer of personality data. Margaret covers five key scenarios, each with its own profile.
What does it mean if I take an edible before a movie, alone at home?
You’re introspective and creative, and you want to feel the film. You’ve probably rewatched a favorite just to experience it differently — and it worked, so now that’s a ritual. You cried at a Pixar movie recently, and not just a little.
What about before a social event?
You likely describe yourself as an extrovert with a little anxiety. You want to be on, but you’re aware of the timing risk — specifically the scenario where you’re still fully coming up during appetizers. You’ve done the math and accepted the risk.
What does it say about me if I take one before a hike?
You own at least one piece of Patagonia. You use the word “intentional” unironically. You genuinely want to be more present in nature — and you will describe the way the light hits the trees and mean every word of it. Margaret says: never stop.
What about late at night, alone in bed?
Margaret says, with complete affection, that you might be running from something — thoughts, stress, or sleep that doesn’t come easily. Whatever it is, you’ve found a ritual that works for you, and there’s nothing wrong with a soft landing at the end of a long day.
What if I take an edible before a work task?
You are either a visionary or about to send the most interesting email your coworker has ever received. There is no in-between. History will decide which one you are.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
What’s the biggest mistake people make with edibles?
Taking a second dose before the first one has fully kicked in. Edibles can take 30–90 minutes to take effect depending on metabolism, body weight, and whether you’ve eaten recently. The most common scenario: someone takes a dose, feels nothing after 45 minutes, takes more and then both doses arrive at once.
What’s a safe starting dose for someone new to edibles?
Margaret and the blog both recommend starting with a low dose (2.5–5mg THC), tracking your experience, and adjusting gradually over multiple sessions. This is the Scientist approach, and it works.
Any advice for The YOLO types who want a smoother experience?
Read the packaging. Note the milligrams per piece. Have water and snacks ready, and designate a comfortable spot for when the experience intensifies. Pairing up with a Scientist friend for a more calibrated session is also a legitimate strategy.
What about The Anxious Waiter — how can they have a better time?
Patience, and distraction. Edibles take time — the 30–90 minute window is normal. Watching a show, going for a walk, or calling a friend during the wait helps. Stick to one dose per session until you know your personal timeline.
Any tips for The Forgetter?
Store edibles in a consistent, visible place to prevent accidental over-consumption during rediscovery. Always check expiration dates before indulging in long-forgotten stashes.
What should every edibles user know, regardless of type?
Know your dose, know your timeline, and know that what works for someone else may not work for you. As Margaret puts it: your edible habit isn’t something to fix, it’s data about who you are and how you move through the world.

Margaret 00:00:04 Welcome back, friends. Episode 345 What Your Edibles Habit Says About You. I'm your host, Margaret, a certified Ganjier and cannabis educator who believes your kitchen is the best dispensary you'll ever have. Welcome to Bite Me, the show about edibles. Grab a snack and let's dive in. If you're joining us for the first time today, welcome. This is a fun one for you. And if you've been a long time listener, I'm trying out some new things. You'll have to let me know afterwards how you like it. No preamble. Let's get right into it. So picture this. It's a Saturday afternoon and you've got nowhere to be. So you grab an edible. Maybe it's a gummy, maybe it's a chocolate or some little mint thing. And you eat it and you wait and you wait. And 35 minutes in. You think I don't feel anything? So you eat half of another one? Just half. You're not reckless. Then, approximately 45 minutes after that, when you are very deep in an important Wikipedia spiral.
Margaret 00:01:08 But the history of competitive dog grooming. It hits you like a warm, comfortable, confusing freight train. And you think I have made a choice. If any of this felt personally attacking, welcome. You're in the right place. Today we're doing something a little bit different. We're reading your personality through your edibles habit. Not your birth chart, not your attachment style. Because I genuinely believe that the way a person approaches an edible the ritual, the logic, the catastrophic miscalculations tells you more about who they are than any personality test ever could. Why edibles specifically? Like, why is this the thing that reveals character? Here's my theory. Edibles are uniquely good at exposing who you are because of the one thing the wait. There's a delay between the action and the result and how a person handles that. Delay the gap where you have no information and no control, and you just have to trust the process. That's where personality lives. Do you stay the course? Do panic. Eat another one? Do you build a spreadsheet? Do you just forget you took one and make a very confusing dinner? That window was a personality X-ray, and unlike, say, a Myers-Briggs test, you cannot lie your way through it.
Margaret 00:02:30 The edible nose. So today we've got five main personality types, plus a bonus. And we're getting into the situational habits because when and where you take them also incredibly revealing. So let's diagnose. Here are the five types. Type one the scientist. You know this person you might be this person and no judgment I respect the commitment. The scientist does not just eat an edible. The scientist admires an edible. There's a process that cut the gummy, and I mean cut with something precise, not just bitten in half like an animal into portions, maybe thirds, maybe quarters. If it's a high milligram situation, they have a preferred dosage that they have arrived at through genuine experimentation over multiple sessions. They probably have notes somewhere on their phone in the Bite Me Edibles journal. Maybe a dedicated note, maybe. And I say this with love a spreadsheet. When they take it, they note the time they track the onset. They will tell you with confidence that for them personally, the effect begins at 42 minutes and peak at approximately the two hour mark.
Margaret 00:03:46 And look, this person is never, ever the one texting. I think I took too much. They have never taken too much. They will not take too much. They have engineered that possibility out of their life. So what does this say about you? Your analytical, detail oriented. You are very good at your job, and you probably find it difficult to delegate. You experience something called vacation guilt. The concept of just winging it gives you low grade anxiety that you've learned to mask. You have never in your life just vibed and a part of you a very small, very buried part is curious what that would be like. We move on. Type two the YOLO. I also like to call this one the fuck around and find out what we're trying to keep it a little more PG here. Not that any kids are listening to this because they're not. You must be 18 years of age or older to enjoy this podcast. The YOLO is in many ways the scientist's natural enemy or frenemy. Maybe the YOLO does not read the packaging.
Margaret 00:04:49 The YOLO does not think about milligrams. The YOLO saw that there were ten gummies in the bag and thought, well, those are fun sized and eight four before anyone could intervene. The YOLO is having a great time for the first hour. They're chatty. They're energetic. They are thriving. They suggest activities. They start a group chat. They make ambitious plans. And then somewhere around our two, the YOLO goes very quiet. They were lying on the couch. They are doing a full body vibe check and the results are concerning. They text somebody, possibly multiple somebodies, something along the lines of hey, so I think I might be dead. They are not dead. They are fine. They will be fine by morning and by next weekend they will have completely forgotten this experience and be ready to do it again. What does this say about you? You're an optimist, a true optimist, the kind that believes every single time that this time will be different. Your fun, spontaneous. You're the person who makes a trip memorable.
Margaret 00:05:51 You're also the person who has a lot of I can't believe that happened. Stories that all follow a very similar structure. You're probably a Sagittarius or you have a lot of Sagittarius energy. You know who you are. Type three the anxious waiter. This is a very common type, and I say that with deep, genuine empathy because I believe most of us have spent time here. The anxious waiter takes a responsible dose. Very reasonable. They're doing it right, and then they wait. 30 minutes pass. Nothing. Nothing yet. That's normal. Right? 45 minutes. Still nothing. Is this a bad batch? Am I one of those people that it doesn't work on? I read about that. Some people, it just doesn't work on an hour. Okay, I'm going to Google this real quick. And Google, as it always does, provides both reassurance and 16 new things to worry about simultaneously. So they take a little bit more, just a little responsible amount given the circumstances. And they wait again, what the anxious waiter does not fully account for is that the first dose was working the whole time.
Margaret 00:07:00 It was just working quietly. And now that second dose is coming and they are going to meet each other. The anxious waiter did not listen to my episode on the science of onset times. The anxious waiter's peak experience involves saying, is this normal to someone, sometimes out loud, sometimes just internally on a loop for 40 minutes? What does this say about you? You're a thinker, a planner. You like to feel prepared, and you are deeply uncomfortable with uncertainty, specifically the kind where you don't know when the information is coming. You probably refresh your tracking page when a package is out for delivery, you've drafted texts and then deleted them because you weren't sure how they'd land. You care a lot about doing things right, which is beautiful, and also occasionally your downfall. You contain multitudes and also two doses. Type for the social sharer. The social sharer treats edibles as a communal experience and honestly, the vibe is very generous, very warm, and sometimes a little chaotic. This is the person who brings edibles to gatherings every gathering.
Margaret 00:08:06 If they're being honest, not because anyone asked, they just knew that it would be a good idea. They love introducing people to new brand, or watching someone try an edible for the first time, or generally being the person who made the night more interesting. They're very free with them. Very someone expresses mild interest, pure. Take one. Someone says they've never tried one. Oh, okay. Take half of this one. They also gave one to someone else. They may have lost count. It's fine. It's a vibe. The social sharer is often less focused on their own experience than on the group experience. They want everyone to be having a good time. They're checking in. How are you feeling? You good? Do you need water? I have snacks. What does this say about you? You're a nurturer. You've probably got typed as a two. If you've done Enneagram, you feel most like yourself when you're the person who made something good happen for the people around you. Your love language is acts of service and also free gummies.
Margaret 00:08:59 You'd be an incredible cruise director. This is a compliment. The shadow side. You do not always track your own intake because you're too busy managing everyone else's. And this is also true of other areas of your life. You might want to look at that. Type five the sophisticated micro dose. The sophisticated micro dose is not here to get high. Let's establish that up front. They're here for enhancement. They take 2.5mg maybe five on a special occasion. They have a preferred brand, not just a preferred product, a preferred brand. Because formulation matters. They're very precise. When they're making their own edibles at home. They can tell you what terpenes they like. They will tell you the sophisticated micro dose has integrated edibles into a broader wellness routine in a way that is impressive and slightly baffling to behold. They might take one before a morning walk or a creative work session or yoga. They talk about it the same way they talk about their adaptogens, supplements, and their cold plunge routine. As a precision tool.
Margaret 00:09:59 They have a preferred time of day, a preferred context. They've thought about this. What does this say about you? You are high achieving and self optimizing. You believe that with the right system, most things can be improved. You have a skincare routine. You have opinions about your skincare routine. You've read at least one book about habits or sleep in the last year. You're actually onto something. There's real substance to intentional low dose use. But also, and I say this gently, you could stand to occasionally do something with absolutely no optimization goal whatsoever. Just eat the whole gummy, watch something dumb, let it be unproductive. You might enjoy it. And okay, we have to do the honorable mention the type that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else. The forget or the forget or bought edibles with full intention. Good intentions. They had a plan. Then they put the edibles somewhere. Maybe the nightstand, maybe a kitchen drawer. Maybe a coat pocket they haven't worn since November. Six months later, during a cleaning sprint or a coat rotation, they find them and they think, well, they're still good, probably.
Margaret 00:11:03 And they eat all of them in one sitting with no plan. The for getter is chaotic neutral, no maliciousness, not reckless, exactly. Just operating on a different timeline than the rest of us. They lose their keys a lot. They have 17 browser tabs open right now. They are deeply lovable. There's also the situational habits. So we've covered who you are. Now let's talk about when and where, because the circumstances matter enormously. Before a movie, Alone at Home, you're introspective, creative. You want to feel the movie you've probably watched rewatched something you love just to see if it hits differently. And it did. And now that's a thing you do. You cried into Pixar film recently, and I don't mean a little before social event. Interesting. Complicated. You are probably someone who describes yourself as an extrovert with a little anxiety, which is a sentence that contains a lot of information. You want to be on. You want to enjoy the thing. You are also slightly terrified of what happens if you misjudged the timing, and you're still fully coming up during the appetizers.
Margaret 00:12:16 You've done the math and you've accepted the risk before a hike or outdoor activity. You own at least one piece of Patagonia. You use the word intentional unironically. You want to be present in nature. Like more present than normal. Present. You will describe the way the light hits the trees and genuinely mean it. This is actually wonderful. Never stop. Late night alone in bed. You're running from something. I say this with complete affection. Maybe it's thoughts. Maybe it's the ambient hum of daily stress. Maybe it's just the sleep that doesn't come easy. And this is the thing that helps. Whatever it is, you found your ritual and it works for you. And there is nothing wrong with finding a soft landing at the end of a long day. Before a work task. You are either a visionary or about to send the most interesting email your coworker has ever received. There is no in between history will decide which one you are. Real talk for a second. I've been poking fun this whole episode at the scientist with the spreadsheet, the YOLO who never learns, the anxious waiter deep in a Google spiral.
Margaret 00:13:32 And it's all meant with love. Genuine love. And here's the thing I actually believe the way you handle an edible is kind of a microcosm of how you handle uncertainty in general, because that's what the weight is. You've made a decision, you've acted on it, and now you have to sit with the outcome on a delay with no real way to control what happens next or speed up the timeline. And some of us sit with that just fine. Some of us need to track it in a spreadsheet to feel safe, and some of us take a second one, because the discomfort of not knowing yet is worse than the risk of too much. And some of us forget about it entirely and deal with it later. None of these are wrong. They're just you. Your particular shape of a person, the way you are made, plus everything that happened to you after your edible habit isn't embarrassing, is not something to fix. It's data friendly, occasionally chaotic, sometimes very funny data about who you are and how you move through the world.
Margaret 00:14:29 And honestly, that's kind of beautiful. Let's do a rapid fire recap. Which one are you? The scientists spreadsheet precision. Never taking too much in their life. The YOLO for dummies. Great. First our full body existential. Our two the anxious waiter. Responsible dose Google spiral. Two doses surprise the social share. Broad enough for everybody. Lost count. Checking on you. The sophisticated micro dose 2.5mg terpene opinions in a whole philosophy or the for getter found them in a coat pocket. No regrets. I want to hear yours. Seriously, let me know. Send me a fan mail, whichever type you think you are. You may also be a combination of different ones. Or tell me your most unhinged, edible experience of your life. Zero judgment. This is a safe space and I have heard things and I want to hear more things. If you listen to the episode recently where I talked about how my father took an edible accidentally got high for the very first time at the age of 94.
Margaret 00:15:26 The personality trait of the YOLO really came to mind for me. I also am somebody that likes to watch, eat edibles and watch movies alone at night. Am I running from something? I might be anyway. Friends. I am your host, Margaret. Thanks for listening. Be safe. Know your dose. If you don't, you're a YOLO. But anyway, I'm your host, Margaret. Until next week, my friends. Stay curious and stay high.
