Been trying out edibles after many years without smoking or consuming weed in any way
First few times I didn’t feel much of anything but yesterday I experienced the most intense full body high ever… Like, only existing felt intensely pleasurable. It’s been almost 24 hours and I still feel a strong “afterglow” physical effect like a tingling sensation dripping down my spine.
Is this what weed’s supposed to be like? it never ever felt this good to me smoking. Yesterday I also experienced zero negative effects, while a joint would regularly get me paranoid, hence my question.
Follow up question for the ladies
Tap for spoiler
Does weed hits you different during different times in your menstrual cycle? Is the effect stronger when you are ovulating for example?
I only use edibles as I don’t want to smoke but after a while they just stopped working for me. It has been months and i’m craving them.
oh, my, yes
I vastly prefer to smoke flower. I get the most high from it, plus I enjoy the taste.
I get practically nothing from eating it, regardless of the form (gummies, brownies, beer, etc.). I asked a doctor once, who explained that it has something to do with the fact that I produce a high amount of stomach acid that breaks it down before it can absorb or something.
I don’t like the high I get from vaping it, and I requires a lot more to get the same level of high that I get from flower, which makes it cost 3-5x as much, so I consider it a spectacular waste of money, too.
but everyone’s different, so go with what works for you!
Resolved in fat is metabolised differently than when smoked/vaped or resolved in alcohol
I do like to soak decarbed weed in strong alcohol to make a tincture/drops. Works really well and much more reliable than a brownie, as the effects start as fast as a usual alcoholic shot and lasts always pretty much the same time.
When I’ve tried smoking and vaping, I usually don’t feel anything, but a handful of times it was very minimal…
Edibles on the other hand get me there. The ones I buy give a good body high, and are energizing for me, but I stick to lower doses. It only lasts about 6 hours.
I’ve heard that with an edible, you can chew it up and hold it under your tongue for a while, the mucus membrane will absorb it for a faster high since that avoids the process of being digested (at least until you swallow it). You could try something like that, as that would initially avoid your stomach acid.
I think a lot of the terpenes, which add to the effects and makes the difference between a sativa and an indica may not be as orally active as when smoked, so I also really prefer the effects of smoking flower. I prefer flower to vape because weed vapes are pretty harsh and I just like the flavor of actual weed a lot more. There’s all sorts of different effects you can get from smoked flower depending on the type and amount of terpenes present in the strain. Limonene for instance is anxiety relieving and mood boosting. All that said, the high is different when ingested, the body buzz is more intense and it’s a bit more psychedelic I find, and lasts longer. I’ve really never experienced any edibles lasting 24 hours though that sounds unusual.
