    I wish edibles had any effect on me. Both my SO and I get nothing off homemade or store bought.

    We once made some peanut butter cookies from a High Times recipe that we thought we made wrong, my mother tried one and was out of it for the rest of the day.

    • I have a high tolerance for edibles but they still send me to space once I hit the threshold where I start to feel it (around 30mg)

      Perhaps you’ve just got a higher tolerance. If you use wax and have for some time, consider medical strength edibles.

      I think you may be doing something wrong, I would be curious what store bought kind you tried too. It’s very easy to mess up making it ingestible, you can’t just eat cannabis flower or even raw THC oil, it has no effect ingested unless it undergoes a chemical process, such as being extracted into fat/oil/butter with heat, but not so hot the THC breaks down. Some cheap store brands also are weaker than the label and count on people being suggestible.

      I say this because if it effects you inhaled, then it’s the same chemical in your blood. It just takes up to an hour to work ingested, sometimes people give up waiting on it and go to bed and miss the effect.

      All that said, ingested high feels different than inhaled usually, unless you’re using a strong tincture, that stuff can knock you on your ass and your family will find you laying on the floor as you travel through space.

      I’m the opposite here. I have a decent tolerance for smoking or vaping, but edibles send me. Even small ones, 5mg and I’m toasty, 10mg and I’ve punched out for the day.

      Same. My sister helped my partner and I make some edibles with a bunch of trim we had saved. She had been smoking heavier than me for twice as long, and got absolutely smuckered by these edibles. We, however, were slamming dabs alongside the edibles because they weren’t doing shit
