RE: What’s All The Hype About Edibles And Are They Better Than Smoking ?

in #cannabis7 years ago (edited)

I am choosing edibles for myself, more and more. With experience, I've worked out a dosage that settles me without overdoing it and ending with me napping all day. As a medical user, I'm looking for the minimum effective dosage (MED) almost every time.

When needed (i.e., most days), a tiny dab of RSO, taken orally with no added heat, does the trick for me. I end up with a long-lasting effect that relieves my symptoms with minimal side effects, and without the inconveniences that go along with smoking.

Personally, I like smoking herb, but with smoking comes secondhand smoke, and that requires a certain etiquette if nothing else. You have to think about who else is in the house, or might be soon. You have to think about how your clothes will smell wherever you might go in the next few hours.

With edibles, you just need to eat something early, then deal with your day. Once you've determined your MED, you can just consume any baked good with a definite dosage of cannabinoids, or even a very small amount of RSO or distillate. That can even be in capsule, making it easy to add to your daily regimen of vitamins and/or other meds.

I find this especially helpful with CBD capsules in the early morning, then sometimes a little THC in the afternoon. But edibles (with a determined dosage) allow users to regulate their cannabis consumption in a similar way to any other prescriptions.

I couldn't agree more with your MED dosing strategy @olyup!
I ate RSO the same way you have described for about 6 years, before I started making other edible forms.
RSO is completely activated (already converted to 9-THC) so no additional heat is required and you can simply just eat it. To use preventatively, a tiny amount (less than the size of a grain rice) is where I would start for anyone who decides they might want to try eating RSO. :)
I like to keep a minimum amount of plant medicine in my body and then top up if and when I need it
