I have found a lot of success with CBG gummies for the energizing effect without the high. I am surprisingly more alert and focused when I take them. I found a THC vape pen that was high in the cbg, and I actually had to stop hitting it early in the afternoon or I couldn't settle down.
I have been smoking/getting high for years, and I had never experienced that before. Placebo or not, I believe it improves my day to day life (when used appropriately).
I agree with this. Try different combinations of CBD, CBG and CBN to see how they affect you. I have only tried THC alone (nice mild buzz) and with CBG (full body high). With CBG was a far stronger effect for me, but since I was just trying different brands, it took me a couple times to figure out what was producing the different effect.
Edibles can be finicky, and a lot of it has to do with how your body metabolizes ingested THC. For example, my brother gets basically nothing out of edibles, while I feel strong, wildly different effects depending on the strain.
Ok so it's not just me then? I can get pretty fucked out of 0.1g to 0.3g of vaped weed, but I have to choke on some heavy cannabutter to feel the effects. My girlfriend barely gets a buzz off vaped weed, but will get fucked by a few grams of the same cannabutter.
Is that why I sometimes wake up still high after taking an edible to fall asleep? I just assumed the dose per piece wasn't as tightly controlled as they advertise.
I think this has to do with what type of edibles it is and how spread out it is through food.
For example, if I eat a large brownie with 10mg in it, that's going to basically have a time release effect if I don't eat some more food with it or after it. I've taken brownies before that didn't kick in until I had another snack or meal after. I think of it like pushing the edible through.
So yeah I'd imagine if you took an edible a few hours before bed, ate no additional food, you'd probably feel it in the morning still.
Tinctures seem to kick in fast no matter what I eat or drink after though.
It's been my experience that people who claim edibles "don't work for them" are just heavy flower smokers. Once I quit smoking, I had much better and more consistent experiences with edibles.
I also find tinctures in seltzer or chocolates to be the best replacement for smoking because they seem to take effect faster than a brownie or cookie.
Not a lot of control with edibles, but at the end of the day, a lighter does will produce a lighter effect. Beyond that you're just regurgitating marking material.
A light euphoric high, good for creativity suuuuure bud. π
I find a brand that seems robust and it's well stocked at my retailer and order a variety, then I find one or two I like and stick to thirst for a while. I have a list of 4-5 go-tos that do the trick, and it took a month or so to figure that out.
Coffee and a joint is my go-to
I'll be honest, I'm trying not to smoke unless I really need a short lived effect haha.
Smoking may be short lived but it does the job more reliably in my experience. I take an edible just for a baseline high, wait a little while and then hit a vape like once every hour or so. That way you aren't wasting edibles on getting higher than you wanted and your smoking supplies last longer because 1 puff = really high.
