    Edibles don’t do shit for me. I had a whole pack of gummies a few weeks back and nothing. Made some brownies on my own, mild at best. I’ve tried the infused drinks, nothing again. I do vape but I dunno if that’s any better than smoking

      Dry herb vaping is less harmful than smoking. However, vape carts & distillate is not something I trust and have had respiratory issues from.

      As far as edibles go, it takes some trial & error but you can dial in your dosage. Store bought are wildly inconsistent and normally don’t work for me. I make my own butter & typically make brownies with it.

      I use 2oz decarbed* cannabis per 2cup butter in crockpot with a little water. Slow cook for 2-3hr, strain, chill to separate and discard water. That canna butter gets turned into 48 brownies…which are roughly 2 dosages per, for me. I tend to use the Kodiak Cake brownie mix because it calls for more butter than other boxes and I’ve been pleased with the results.

      *decarbed - grind up cannabis & bake in oven at 240f for 45min.

      Not everyone has the dame kind of gastrointestinal response, I have terrible absorption for THC digestively and have eaten seven 500mg gummies, one each of which couchlocked my roomies.

      Some people suggest taking in fats to act as THC carriers but it didn’t make a difference.

      Joints and vape I’m normal like everyone else. Edibles? Just throwing money away.
