Do you take edibles?

I tried CBD gummies and pills for pain management and for some appetite during some health issues a few years back but I never noticed anything. Mostly why I smoke nowadays is for making me hungry cause my stomach is such a mess. Gotta love all the side effects of medication. Lesser of two evils I suppose.
I don't smoke but I do edibles, maybe once or twice a week. I have 10mg THC gummies, which I eat half of. I am extremely low tolerance so that usually gets me nice and floaty. Took the whole 10mg one time and hated it, couldn't focus on anything, felt like I was stuck in a time loop of waking up and dreaming the last 20 seconds of cognizance. I can move up to 7mg occasionally if I want to mildly trip. Had quite an exciting trip just a few nights ago playing Tetris Effect!
There are chocolate ones. Plus some weirder stuff like taco seasoning and syrup.
Exactly.
This is our reality, if we don't like it, lets work to improve it, not just take something that warps our perception.
I didn't even think about this but I usually smoke when I do yoga at home and it is much more enjoyable and i feel much more connected to my body.
Nightly, yes.
If you're looking for the relaxed feel/sleepy feeling you wanna look for CBD, CBG, and CBN.
THC gives you that hazy high feeling.
CBD is good for pain relief and a more calm feeling. The higher the CBD content the more the "edge" will be taken off of THC.
CBG has a very calming, soothing effect. I kinda describe it as a weighted blanket for the soul.
CBN is the sleepy stuff, though in my experience it made my mind race, YMMV

I feel like I have this, because I took one hit of an infused preroll and I had a very intense high unlike I've ever had, it was scary and I couldn't wait for it to be over. I was close to calling 911, but talked myself into calming down instead. It was not fun at all.
yea, probably a couple times a month. feels better in some ways than smoking and definitely makes stuff like watching movies or hanging out fun
me too. If you aren't smoking constantly, the lungs are quite resilient. I used to smoke cigarettes for years and quit 5 years ago and my lungs don't feel that bad from light joint, blunt, and vaping.
There's actually a ton of variety, at least if you're in a state where it's recreationally legalized.
Chocolates, water flavor packets, pills, cereal, cookies, drinks, syrups, mints, etc.
I haven't had a soda yet that I liked. The root beers are all awful 🤢
Come to Canada it's legal, you clearly belong with us since you are so polite ;D
Occasional mild amounts, 5mg or less, which includes some CBD as well. Helps calm and relax me, better sleep.
Accidently took 10mg edible a few months back as I'd bought a new brand and ended up uncomfortably high.
By frequent user standards I'm an ultra lightweight but does keep things cheap.

Infrequently. I used to do them more often, but took too much at one point and had a bad trip. I stick to 15mg or less now, which is plenty for me.
I save them for the weekends, usually when the kids are getting close to bedtime or busy. Planning on doing it tomorrow and watching the 4K77 cut of Star Wars with the missus.
Chocolates, rice Krispie treats, hard candies, brownies, etc. Lots of non-gummy options.
No but I dab weed almost every night.
my wife just tried 10mg thc, 50mg cbd to sleep. The issue she had was she had two margaritas and the cbd made her feel like she had 10 margaritas. She said she won't ever mix with alcohol again. Otherwise it makes her sleep really well.

when they first hit the scene i took quite a lot, both for partying and sleeping. but i became quite a space cadet, constantly losing paperwork and all that. now it's like one or two every week or so for netflix and chilling
have been micro dosing on aminita muscaria edibles which i discovered about a month or so ago. pretty good but like the other stuff you have to be careful

I have before, and probably wont try again. It made me giggly for about 15 minutes, and then I was anxious and felt uncomfortable for about 2 hours.
Damn…..
Over here on 100mg chillin lol
But yeah usually 100-200mg for me in one go. Need the high tolerance stuff lol

Not very often lately. Tossup on whether I get kinda paranoid on them, so it's rare that I risk it.
Sometimes, but only when I decide I have nothing left to do for the rest of the day, and I'm really bored.
I take CBD oil sublingually (held under the tongue - it's more consistent and effective than edibles) and find that it generally helps improve my mood.
I'm calmer, more relaxed, less anxious about things - and had people I'm close to comment on that after I had been taking it for a while (without telling anyone).
It absolutely will not get you high, so don't be expecting that. Potheads will tell you "CBD doesn't do shit" because that's what they are expecting.
If it's been a while, I notice an effect within a few minutes if I take a larger dose; but it's generally more of a 'maintenance' thing for me. I take a smaller amount daily and it just helps things go along a bit more smoothly.
I don't take it for sleep, but it can help. For me, it does little if anything for chronic pain - at least there's no immediate effect. I started taking it again recently and have noticed certain pains bothering me less the past few days.
I avoid THC. I'm not looking to get high, and the mental health risks are far too great, in my opinion.
If you are going to partake, make sure it's a high-CBD strain - at least 50%.

Wild to think about when there is a dispensary right down our street.
Amen. Edibles are just too uncontrollable. I'll sometimes take them when I'm watching a movie but other than that I'll just smoke.
