Question about weed/edibles

[aceduecetrey]

I know there are a ton of experts here....

I have not smoked regularly in years, but the other night I had half a 50mg edible and a glass of wine and I had the best buzz that I have had since I stopped drinking 3 years ago. I recently started drinking 2 glasses of red wine a few nights a week to help raise my cholesterol, but I never catch anything close to a buzz. I added in the edible and it was glorious!

My question is... why is the buzz from edibles so much different than smoking? Or was the weed that I smoked 4-5 years ago just way stronger than what was in the edible? I want to be able to replicate that feeling I had the other night, but getting edibles is not easy in Florida.

Have not got into the edibles too much yet, other than lollipop...but planning on it, so I do not die of lung cancer etc if it is not too late already

1. The weed you used to smoke COULD have bee much weaker. They only make edibles with high quality weed
2. Weed makes you drunker faster. Thats why people puke whenthey smoke after drinking alot
3. A 25mg edible for a nonweed-er is a considerable amount.
4. The buzz really isnt too different. Its just that the edible can take 20-120 min to gradually kick in. When you smoke its doing its job in 20-120 sec

I am by no means an expert anymore, but I believe it has to do with the way the body is ingesting it and they means that your getting it. Mainly, smoking vs eating, your body is getting the intoxicant in a different manner and how your body metabolizes it can affect the buzz. Also with edibles, they are extracting the oils as the primary HTC ingredient, so its a purer dose.

And...as said above, yes, the weed is probably better than you used to have and 25mg is a lot for someone out of practice. I SPLIT a 10mg brownie as my first dance in a long time and I was toast...but I got pissy, which was odd.

Lol I smoke a lot of weed (mostly blunts) so I'm at that point in my life where it's probably too late to do something about it, might as well continue at the same rate. I recommend you approach it the same way, but that might not be the best advice haha

Its NEVER too late. 1 blunt is like 3 cigarettes. Switch to papers, a bowl or a bong and you will feel the difference in your chest within a week.

I have only been high 3 times in my life and the 3rd time was last year in Colorado. I did the pot brownies and the weed taste was awful, almost made me puke. But I did it anyway...also did the gummy bears and those tasted like gummy bears.

Had sex that night, by leaps and bounds the best nut I've ever had in my life. But side note, stick to the liquid food

When you smoke it you know when you've had enough, if you ingested it , too much you're not going to be very happy.

Yep, a phat blunt is great every now and then, but I really dig the natural or organic papers for rolling these days, particularly RAW filtered cones...

 

[aceduecetrey]

I guess if I can not find edibles, I will just try to find some good weed. I loved the high! I was at the casino and was having too much fun to even gamble (much)

I only smoke raws or elements. Blunts are fucking disgusting. I want to taste what im smoking. not to mention their bad for you. Edibles give you more of a full body high that usually last longer. Smoking its more cerebral.

Yep! Elements are the rice papers I like. Blunts, meh, kids these days. Agree on the buzz factor.

When I eat it I am very careful. Small bits and see how it goes. My problem is the first hour i am mellow and it almost feels like a vicodin high. Wish that would last cuz i usually end up not mellow and kind of spun. Somebody said it here that if you have eaten too much it can be heavily regrettable!

Heh, I appreciate the advice. A bunch of my friends have suggested I switch also, even to those wax pens, but I'm just such a creature of habit that it'd be hard for me to make the permanent change

Haha I'm a creature of habit so that's why I've always stuck with blunts for so long

Good to see a lot of fellow stoners here at the RX.

They are really getting it down as to what it can do for you. Up , down etc. A local grower gave me some cbd stuff that numbs the pain but doesnt really get me too high. That is what I want out of it and think they are really advancing in the pain management side of it

I wish i was still on that side. I'm in need of some quality CBD oil, one that also has thc. I"m going to try and treat my type 1 diabetes with it. It does wonders for cancer and other ailments.

I am in the blunt habit also, been that way for 20+ years....gotta make a change from the blunts though
