I’m always amazed at parents who do edibles or drink enough to be buzzed. I’m struggling enough to wake up at 5:30 am and take care of our kids stone cold sober, there is no way I could do it hungover! No judgment, I’m actually impressed!

It's really not limited to people who party. My 76 year old mother takes them to help with pain from hip replacement surgery and to sleep.

As for weed though, I really enjoy gummies or other edibles, very rarely vape or take a hit because I don't like smoke. Never in front of or around my kids, never when I'll need to drive. Adds to the experience of a concert or nice dinner, or just to unwind with DH. A 5 mg edible is just right, I'm not sloppy or thinking unclearly, I sleep great, wake up feeling fine. I don't crave it and am in no way dependent on it. It's legal where I live and in my mind alcohol is much more risky at my age.


The only problem with gummies is they take so long to kick in. There’s a liquid kind that’s to help calm and relax that helps immediately. I know that’s not the one you’re looking for but immediate relief is helpful.


That's the one thing I miss about smoking. Smoking kicks in immediately so I can get to juuust the right level I want to be at, at the right time. Edibles you're always estimating and if you want to be just a little bit higher you're guessing the dose to add and waiting for it to kick in.


I see why you would feel that way. Fortunately for me edibles take seconds to minutes to kick in. What I don't like is predicting how much I'd like. So if it's 8pm I'll take 10mg. But it's not fully working for 30 minutes and then it's getting late to take another one. At least with smoke it hits you immediately and you can just take another hit.

Could you imagine how miserable it would be to have such a mindset to spam a thread with insults? Scolding random adults about something that you have no experience with? They are lurking here morning, noon and night just to preach.

Google thc gummies. Weed is readily available is edible forms, often as a gummy "candy" type item. You don't eat a whole bag of candy. They come in different strengths, so most people just need a small piece.

I don't pretend that weed is healthy for me, but I am too old to be messing with my lungs. So eating it is healthier in that sense. And I don't have to worry about a smoke smell.


Really you have no idea wtf is in these gummies.


Not true. My state tests the products and labels the contents. That’s what full recreational legalization gets you. DC and VA need to get with it.

Actually there is now a fast acting edible (15-20 minutes) made by a few brands. Look for “nano” or “quick” or talk to the store employees. It’s the same thing as classic edibles but the active ingredients are emulsified before making the gummy. This allows your body to absorb and process the THC in a way that feels similar to smoking. I felt the same way as you until I found out about this new development.

Mine come in different strengths. But the one I like is a 30 mg square. I cut it into 6ths so that I have a 5mg dose and adjust up or down from there.
