Gladstone:
For casual marijuana use? Seems unlikely.
Okay, so she also takes LSD, but it makes her see DRAGONS! and why would she want to stop that?

It would be relatively simple, in story-telling terms, to turn that off-hand comment to Marten: "Man , I need to cut down on my pot intake" into that being an admission of her having had a growing abuse issue that she's been hiding. For what it's worth, though, I think that it's unlikely.

I would wager she's not told Tai either, and that nobody else (specifically Marten) has mentioned it. I think we might be seeing either Marten or Dora explain just why she's so closed off, but I don't expect she'll open up much more than that.
Shame, really. I miss happy, flirty Dora :(

I think you're right, in that regard, but I don't think her recent treatment of Tai has anything to do with her previous (shitty) relationships. She's not jealous of anybody (there's no 'Faye' in their relationship... yet). She's just closed off and probably isn't used to being in a relationship who is on one hand really, seriously interested in her and on the other hand not a doormat. (Before anybody misinterprets - Marten's not a doormat at the moment, but his relationship with Dora just brought out his worst traits. The night they broke up, he went after her to apologise - for her faults, and he was very aware of that. He just didn't know how to deal with it any other way)

You know, I actually wouldn't mind more sugary sweetness IF the joke is it's annoying/giving cavities to the rest of the cast.
Unlikely to happen in the library with Tai though, because Serious Business.

Yeah, I'd agree that it doesn't affect how she treats Tai. What I was getting at was that I don't think Tai is in a position to understand why Dora is so reluctant to open up, and that's going to need to be explained to her. And much as I like Marten, I think it would be perfectly fair to say he certainly used to be a doormat :)
