Food is totally unchanged for you? Wild! What about movies/tv?
Although I gone up to 25mg while I was experimenting to find a dose that works best for me, my target is 10mg. Maybe that isn't enough to trigger munchies.
Because the only thing I find it good for is music enhancement, I like to take a gummy around 9pm-10pm, then two hours later put on three albums with a particular kind of music, then hope that I get enhancement. If I'm feeling tired that day, though, I put it off because sucks to hit the sweet spot and then immediately fall asleep and not get to enjoy the music.
By enhancement, I mean I experience pronounced stereo separation and deeper notes seem to be very resonant. Sometimes I get little floaty and feel like I'm suspended in zero gravity while I drift to the music. Because I do it only once a week, I don't notice any disruption of my sleep.
EDIT: you asked about TV/movies. I don't watch them, so I don't know.
Thankfully it’s doesn’t cause any serious harm to you as far as drugs go.
I wonder though, about a 100 years ago, when weed was criminalised, it wasn’t just made illegal - people went out of their way to destroy and get rid of every single hemp plant they could find in nature. Across the whole globe no less. That’s quite a statement. Maybe that’s bound to happen again.
I did finally try a real joint -- of course it hits much faster, but the lung irritation and health concerns weren't worth it.
I'm a bit jealous of people who have a great time. A guy in the band I'm in is 45 and has been a daily smoker for 30 years. He is highly functioning -- has a good job, has kids -- and can work while high. I guess he knows exactly his response and does enough to feel good but not enough to cause problems. He also has a really high tolerance.
I'm kind of jealous of your friend. I've been a daily smoker before, and I'm usually able to like do simple tasks and such. But I just get too lazy and dysfunctional. And I feel dumber. Part of me is drawn to that because it's so much easier to be dumb. But I also depend on working memory to make a living and also for my favourite hobbies. Eventually I learned that the only thing that actually works is occasional use. I can't be completely abstinent because then I never actually learn moderation, and I just end up binging again. But if I know I can enjoy myself if I want to, I don't have to be constantly thinking "fuck I want some weed". And then when I do finally give in, there's this shame spiral about it that leads to binging. Whereas now I can just smoke if I feel like it, have a great night of sleep and go on with my life the next day.
Tangential details...
The 2018 hemp farm bill allows products to have up to 0.3% THC, but it took years for people to realize that gummies are hefty enough that 0.3% means a gummy can have 10-20mg of THC. So, at the ripe age of 57 I finally tried THC.
It was very frustrating because most of the good stuff I expected didn't happen: no euphoria, no munchies, no relaxation. I do get some of the negative things, like dry mouth. The one good thing I get is music enhancement, but only if I do it once a week or less (10-15mg). I've tried doing it more frequently and upping the dose to compensate, but nope: if I invoke the genie too frequently he refuses to come out of the bottle.
