Do you take edibles?

[AuthenticM]

I've recently started taking edibles some times at night to relax and help me sleeping, generally if I've slept badly the previous night.

I'm curious what I should be looking for though in the components. I don't care for the buzz; I just want to feel relaxed and fall asleep. Should I prioritize CBD? THC? I've heard that CBN is more for daytime because it gets you active. Is that true?

 

[Joule]

No

 

[Doom Of Shadow]

I have done. Did nothing to me.🫠

 

[Surakian]

I tried for sleep reasons and it doesn't work for me sadly. I'll just live with my insomnia 🥲

 

[kowhite]

Yes I like them.

 

[Volimar]

No but my mom and her bf take gummies at night to help them sleep.

 

[grang]

Pretty much daily

 

[nonoriri]

I've tried but I didn't feel anything.

 

[GravisMors]

Unfortunately they don't work for me. Taken total dose of over 500mg in one shot and....nada ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Wish they did so I didn't have to smoke all the time and save my lungs a bit...

 

[SwampBastard]

Very frequently. Maybe 50% of my evenings. Just to help me sleep.

 

[ClickyCal']

Yes, my wife and I love them and have them all the time. Edibles and taco bell is our go to relaxing time. Would get them more but money.

 

[MaskingTape]

Every night

 

[Tagyhag]

Yeah they're good if I'm gonna have a long fun night with friends but if I'm by myself or just want a little high, I use a vape.

 

[J-Spot]

Yup, I take them for sleep and to just have a nice chill evening.

They honestly don't work because you do smoke all the time.

 

[Turbowaffles]

I used to but I stopped after a bad experience left me not feeling like myself and hearing voices for a week.

 

[horsebite]

I take low dose (3-5mg) THC + CBD gummies almost every night since I am going through a lot of stress lately and they have been a game changer for being able to relax and sleep well.

 

[Ragenaut]

Stoner here. Edibles are a very occasional treat to accentuate a high, but my general experience is they do little to nothing, until they do, at which point they put my ass the fuck to sleep. But it takes a good dose to get there.

Generally the only drug I eat is mushrooms.

 

[Sadsic]

Yes and they take me on a wild psychedelic bender that lasts like 24 hours every time

 

[Marvie]

Pretty much every day. Some to help me sleep and others for fun.

 

[PirateHearts]

Yeah, I gotta be careful 'cause I have an anxiety disorder and they can exacerbate it if I take too much, but otherwise it's a nice way to end the day and help me sleep.

 

[goku01899]

CBD gummies for pain sometimes. As far as recreational use I occasionally drink Delta THC sodas and seltzers to relax on a Friday night.

 

[TaySan]

I did when I was living in Arizona but not anymore moving out of state. It was nice for helping me sleep lol

 

[Bigg]

I use them pretty regularly and they usually hit me pretty hard for a couple hours and then taper off. I find it to be a pleasant way to relax after work. Swore off smoking/vaping because I didn't wanna fuck up my lungs long term. CBD doesn't do much for me, I did use Delta-8 gummies for a time but I've moved away from them since they're unregulated and you can't really know for sure what's in them, whereas since regular D9 weed is legal in NJ they have to conform to the state's regulatory standards.

I will definitely say try to avoid exposing yourself to anything anxiety inducing while taking them. Taking an edible the night of the June debate was one of the worst mistakes I've ever made, lol.

 

[Gr8one]

I like the bud, I vape sometimes too but I like my blunts.

 

[thePopaShots]

If we are out at a brewery that has THC drinks Ill have one or two.

 

[Violence Jack]

I do every weekend. It helps a ton with my anxiety and forces me to relax.

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

No, but very curious about them.

They're legal in my state but I'm still not allowed to consume them because of work policy. Getting caught is grounds for termination in my workplace. :(

 

[BasilZero]

No, never

I don't consume anything that would alter the state of my mind - including alcohol

 

[LumberPanda]

Edibles are the best way to play games like Tears of the Kingdom, or to watch the LotR movies

 

[Rangerx]

I just prefer to smoke a spliff. Edibles usually destroy me cause all my mates pack way too much shit in them.

 

[ClearMetal]

I have never done recreational drugs of any kind.

 

[Ensorcell]

I have done. Did nothing to me.🫠

Then you didn't take the right ones.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Now and again, I do. I prefer them so much more to smoking because you can get so much more accurate with your THC intake. I've even found edibles that are exactly 1mg each so you can pop the exact dosage that gets you to your level of comfort without feeling overwhelmed.

 

[GDGF]

Got a weird metabolism so they're kinda unpredictable. Too unpredictable for me anyway. I'd rather just smoke.

 

[Gr8one]

I only eat mushrooms. Occassionally i'll numb my gums too if you know what i'm saying

edit: I actually fit the criteria to be one Future's bitches.

 

[Piggus]

The dispensary people have always suggested CBN to me for sleep actually, and it seemed to help with that a little. An indica with CBN might be something to try. Edibles can be hit or miss though. For me they either do very little or too much. Can also cause baaaaad experiences for first time users taking too much.

 

[Lilification]

Yeah, they help me get through some of the worst pain from MS

 

[GravisMors]

They honestly don't work because you do smoke all the time.

Cept people that I know that smoke same as me it works...¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Dont think that has anything to do with it tbh.

 

[brinstar]

I probably take them too much lol. They make certain games so much fun.

 

[Temperance]

Started that hard THC gummies life late in life. Indica = in the couch, even a few mgs/micro dosing so at minimum some hybrids or pure sativa to avoid drowsiness. 10mg pieces i work down a bit at time. Start with 5mg to see the impact if any.

Heavy using friends are jealous cuz a little goes a long way.

Occasional after work and weekends.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Yep. Makes for some fantastic late night television viewing.

 

[Brinbe]

Yes, love them. Don't need something super strong. Like 10-20mg is enough for me to vibe, have a good time and feel a soothing body buzz after a hard day of work.

I see people start out with these insane amounts into the 100s, which is like drinking a bottle of whiskey or something comparably, and it's no wonder they end up having a rotten time and hating the experience. Def has to be better education on this. People need to start with 5 and work up from there to know what's the right amount for you to enjoy the benefits.

 

[Helix]

yeah I eat stuff! we all eat edible stuff, OP

 

[Twister]

No, I've never done and never will do any sort of drug. No judgement to people who do, but addiction runs in the family and I already get very psychologically addicted to things. Not going to give myself the chance.

 

[FatalT]

Take more than 500mg then, I dunno. Go to the moon!

Fair, and wasn't trying to say it in a judging way to be clear. I just have seen a lot of people say that smoke a lot as is, and edibles don't work from the tolerance.

 

[Patriiick]

Yep. I'm paranoid about my neighbours and people who live behind me being snitches(in the past i've only ever smoked late late at night at the bottom of my garden when everyone else is in bed before anyone says i'm being a nuisance). I'd love to smoke freely and weed would be cheaper but there's nowhere I can smoke. It's like £14 for 5 gummies so it's not something I do very often.

 

[septentrion2]

Hell yea I do.

Not for sleep though - If i take them too close to bedtime, I'll wake up with "rollover minutes" and it makes getting ready for work a real adventure.

 

[Rodney McKay]

CBN is like a weaker sleep/calming focused type of THC. The usual THC strains are Indica (calming, sleepier), Sativa (bit more energizing), and Hybrid (mix of both). CBD doesn't really do anything for me, it lasts the psychoactive ("high") part, but people do say it can help them with relaxing and calming.

I have done. Did nothing to me.🫠

This was me for a while, I tried some weed cookies at a party once but felt nothing, tried small edibles and nothing, and then I had a large enough dose (drank half of a weed cider, and you're only meant to have lik 1/10 for a regular dose) and it finally worked for me. Weirdly, once I got over the "hump" regular strength edibles do effect me if I don't take it all the time.

Also, if you vape or smoke, It can raise your tolerance so much that you can barely feel them.
Usually a 30mg edible is a nice strong dose for me if I do it once or twice a week. But if I'd been vaping, even 100mg of edibles barely does anything.

I'm starting to wean off of vaping, because I do prefer the edible high compared to vaping (and I know it can't be good for my lungs). Edibles are more of a body high they take longer to kick in, but they last longer. And vaping hits almost immediately, but fades much faster.
