Let's Discuss Edible Cannabis........................

I miss hashish. The last time I had it was at a Phish concert, maybe 30 years ago. It was a rare treat.

None available in CA? Our dispensaries have kief, hash, infused flower…

They’re not the same as Lebanese blond, harvested by naked virgins dancing through fields of plants heavy with aromatic resin.

Sounds like you were already high when you bought that stuff :joy:

My groove was Moroccan. Fluffy. Never got into the goopy black Afghan shit. Had zero effect on me, too.

Hash in California was considered a bigger legal offense back in the day, so it was avoided and harder to find. Flowers and leaves however grow like crazy in California…like in my childhood backyard. My mom never knew what it was despite having a giant green thumb. Stuff grow like a weed, haha. Never smoked anything but flowers and leaves. As for too strong….holy hell, there’s strains that come in at 35% thc…and it’s cheap. Literal one hit stuff. $60 buys an ounce of 30% THC, that’s with tax. The prices are crazy…and I get an occasional 20% off from my legal dealer.

I heard that myth as well, but Afghan virgins in white cotton gauze.

I’ve found my sweet spot to be with lower percentages, like 18-23%. But that doesn’t stop me from buying 30+%.

Terpenes are relevant, too.

Yes - they separated between tabacco and cannabis use - “ Smoking cannabis and tobacco are independent additive risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and the risk increases even in cannabis users with no history of cigarette or e-cigarette use.”

Give “cognitive shuffling” a google search if you’re open to learning a technique that has been getting good press.

One thing I’ve noticed for myself: when you take an edible, eat it with something, preferably something with a decent amount of fat. THC and other cannbanoids are fat soluable. That’s how it gets into your system.

If you just have a gummy on an empty stomach, it’s possible you’ll just digest the sugar and all the fun stuff just passes through.

My usual method: take dose approx 1 hour before I want to be affected, with a small snack, cookie, cheese, some peanut butter. Then once it starts, a meal will 1) taste awesome and 2) move digestion into high gear, leading to a bump in effect.

As always, ymmv, everyone is different.

Thanks - I’ll do that.
