RE: What’s All The Hype About Edibles And Are They Better Than Smoking ?
after literally crawling on the earth for two days after ingesting too much edible lol!.. i tend to take very light doses and opt to smoke instead. i find it can be difficult to take the right dosage and as you say it lasts longer and is stronger.. i didn't quite like the feeling of dragging along the earth for those days. i've also made tinctures and find that that is a little easier to dose than edibles or fat infusions, but they can still last an uncomfortably strong and long amount! definitely a thing to dose accordingly! but god those brownies look so good!!
Hi @moutainjewel! Thank you for sharing your edible experience and taking a minute to comment. I would say that what you have shared is the "norm" for many folks and learning to dose properly for the comfort of your body is a goal that is worth striving for. There are a few factors at play with edibles. Body chemistry, the health of the G/I tract and its micro-biome, how much fat is available and genetics all play a role. My husband is 8 inches taller than I and weighs 60 lbs more...I can eat, vape and smoke him under the table every single day of the week....this isn't a great thing and I'm not bragging about this fact. He has more available receptor sites open than I do and has indigenous genetics in his blood-line. The point is, you cannot look at someone and determine dose by body height, mass, aliment or gender. It (cannabis edibles) aren't dosed like other pharmaceuticals. It's all trial and error and individual to each person. Different strains of the plant and how it was grown and prepared are also major factors. ;)
