Edibles at high doses are a completely different experience. a 60mg dose would be comparable to acid with heavy thought loops and perhaps ego death. Some people are looking for that I guess.

That's not really true for long time users. I've encountered people who need 600mg to get a light buzz.

I smoke / take edibles probably 3 - 4x a week. 600mg in one dose for me is probably asking for a psychotic break.

It has happened: look up Owen Benjamin.

Tolerance varies insanely for edibles. Some people dont process them like others. Ive heard about people just not getting high from edibles at all, even high doses like you described. It‘d be curious if this phenomenon is backed by science or not.

I'm one of those people for whom edibles don't really seem to work. Knowing this, last time I gave it a go I took 90mg followed by another 90mg an hour later. Didn't feel a thing. Don't think I'll buy any again.

I had that problem too. I can usually eat like 40-60mg without anything... And yet one night I took a 10mg all by itself and had an amazing time! It makes no sense to me.

Make, don't buy.

It's so easy/cheap to use low-spectrum cannabis oil in edibles, and most uneducated/recreational users can't/won't feel the difference between how THC feels, compared with all of the compounds you're supposed to have together when using cannabis.

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of edibles these days, especially stuff like the candies, don't have the same 'profile' as old school brownies and whatnot. The requirement for precise dosing means many edibles are made using some sort of extract that's been refined to a specific potency, but that can end up losing some of the other psychoactive compounds. But people are sensitive to different cannabinoids differently, which has led to a bigger variance in tolerance I think.

It's because they're all made with THC distillate!

No different than early vape pens.

No terpenes? No CBD? You're just gonna be high.

Edibles don't work for me, I'm so sick of hearing about edibles as the "fix all" to health issues. I vape loose leaf cannabis, I'm also sick of people assuming everyone who "vapes" uses cartridges.

Grow the plant, cut and dry the plant, heat the plant & breathe it in. It's pretty simple.

"Vaporization" > vaping!

Edibles can definitely do the same, but not distillate made stuff from the store.

Even trying a firecracker (herb cooked in peanut butter on a tortilla chip) at home with your existing purchase of plant matter can show you the difference.

Right I meant 60mg for this guys wife who is looking for a 5mg dose.

Jesus, I do not envy them.

For real? 60 is barely “I feel stoned for me”, and I’m not a a super-heavy user. I’ve had doses… considerably higher than that.

10mg I’m not sure I could reliably ABX with a placebo.

I can confirm I wouldn't even feel 10 mg.

I've felt a suggested dose of bennadryl hit harder than 10mg

That's a really underestimated class of drug, to be fair.

I've been using recreationally for 20 years and a 10mg edible still hits me plenty hard. 20 would hit me like a donkey kick, 60 would make me extremely uncomfortable to say the least.

Same here (though I’m closer to 30 yrs). A 10mg gummy on an EMPTY stomach hits hard. Stomach needs to be empty when you take it.

Lucky. You can add a 0 on the end of those for me, more than that at the high end. I've done 1000mg over the course of ~12 hours before.

I have to cut the 10mg gummies. 1.25mg is my happy place, and if I take more than 2.5mg the room will be rolling and I'll feel totally sick to my stomach for hours.

If comfy, I'd love to know what brand or store disappointed you.

Regular smoker here. Probably addicted. 60mg won't really do anything for me except make me feel sluggish as fuck the next day.

If you have a tolerance 50mg is nothing. That doesn't even get me high now, forget about when I took edibles every day (minimum 300mg). I'm not a genetic freak or anything either, my wife developed tolerance at the same pace as me.

There is a hemp derived mixture called "purple berry" that is so e proprietary blend of a bunch of cannabinoids. I took a whole one, once, and it was a massive trip, so crazy I don't want to do it again. A quarter of one means I'm doing a movie (or nothing) for the night.

For me, 5-10mg of delta 8 is a good relaxing evening. On the low end, it's an anxiety reducer, on the high end of that, a bit of a giggle and indacouch feeling. 25 mg (one gummy) is a zonk the brain kind of night.

Honestly, for knowing I drink too much alcohol, d8 can be a great substitute on the way to quasi sobriety.

Grey market isolated canabanoids are not at all the same. I would use caution with all of them, and particularly their sources, processing, and purity.

Anecdotal, but at sufficiently high doses, I've noticed that you can make contact with extracorporeal entities. I perceive them as distorted cartoon characters. I have taken other psychedelics like LSD-25, but only edibles at very high doses give me this effect.

I don't get ego death with an insane amount of weed, but the other day I was certain I could see through my eyelids, so YMMV.

Don't do drugs, kids.

Susceptibility to edibles varies greatly. My wife can take 100mg and just have a nice sleep. I can take 30mg and it will wreck me if I'm not careful.

Interesting, my wife takes a third to half of a 5mg edible and is good. I take 10mg and then another 5mg about 45 minutes later. I have taken 50mg over the course of a day before but I think the max single dose I have taken is 20mg and I was pretty high but still sociable. I like to maintain a solid sense of control.

It's easy to build a tolerance if you get high enough. I started smoking after years of not, and I was taking 2.5mg feeling toasssstty. But now I need +100mg to get me stoned off edibles.

Becoming a regular smoker is often a hunt for something that can get you just as high as the first time, but nothing will. (Concentrates can get you very high, though.)

With that said, I want to lower my usage -- and, admittedly, it has been hard. Especially if there's hardly anything disincentivizing me from not feeling good all the time. I also have ADHD and take Adderall every day, so it's a part of a routine that has a designated dopamine hit a least once every 1.5hrs, whether that be coffee, weed, whatever.

> Becoming a regular smoker is often a hunt for something that can get you just as high as the first time, but nothing will. (Concentrates can get you very high, though.)

At my peak, I was a half-gram, gram of concentrates a day smoker. There was always the option of taking three or four good dabs in a row and getting past the point of high and into psychedelic panic. The idea that "you can never get as high as the first time" is a total myth peddled by the same people who claim it's a "gateway drug".

Yeah but the first time you get high as fuck, you are high for hours and dont need more than a tiny smoke. Now you need to take 3 or 4 dabs to get that high? Certainly something has changed.

Not my experience. First time didn't do much of anything.

Being a regular smoker seems to require regular breaks or your tolerance is going to blow through your budget and you won't even have the advantage of being high while all your money disappears. A week or two off does wonders. A few months off and that first day back is really nice. I've never been very good at regulating my dosages. I find it much easier to switch between consuming all I want / not consuming anything at all than trying to maintain a consistent low dosage.

Buy tinctures. Much cheaper and you can microdose or macrodose. Some tinctures are very high TC, while others are more balanced w/ other cannabinoids.

Do you get them online, or in-store?

Something I'm looking to buy and test soon: isolated terpene tincures of my most helpful strain, for when I have no interest in THC.

Fuckin crazy. In Washington, you cant buy an individual serving over 10mg. Nothing stopping you from eating the whole bag really, but I've heard of other states having edibles up in the 200mg range which seems nuts to me!

One of my favorite podcast bits is comedian Joey Diaz dosing (with their knowledge) folks on 500mg edibles called "Stars of Death": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC-7uoraunM&pp=ygUYam9leSBka...

maybe medical vs recreational? ive never seen more than 10mg rec

When I was eating edibles every day I'd easily do 500mg doses. That said tolerance falls very quickly, 50 is fine now that I take it less often.

All the edibles I've seen (at least the professionally made ones) have the active ingredient dispersed very evenly. Just get 10s and cut 'em in half.

I'm not sure you want advice, but I use edible medicinally. I live in Washington and discussed it with my doctors. I also can pretty much only find 10mg doses. What I've found is that after a year I built a tolerance but because I'm regimented with my doctor, 10mg 1x every night, my tolerance has balanced out. It still affects me enough to put me to sleep but it doesn't drop below that. Before I talked to my doctor I was increasing my dosages and it felt like an endless uphill battle to get to the point I could sleep comfortably.

I'm not sure if you're looking for recreational or medicinal, but if it's medicinal the key is to have a regiment. If not, just cut the edible in half. If you're buying gummies they're well enough mixed that you can track the dosage by portioning them carefully.

I get 10mg gummies and just cut them into 8ths. The occasional "slice of cake" (1.25mg) is about my limit.
