Unpopular opinion here but if you are using cannabis regularly it isn't supposed to get you high. Yes you might need lifted for a bit but it's really not an extreme "I'm high" experience. If you are using it medicinally, that's what you want. The ability to use it and get on with you day (or go to sleep, I'm my case).
Chasing a high is going to lead to disappointment. You'll develop a tolerance and keep using more and this will cause the negative effects people worry about instead of making your life better.
If you had one beer every night with dinner, the first beer you've ever had in your life would be magical, the edges of the world round off, your friends are funnier, you spouse is extra alluring. But have one beer with dinner every night for a week or two and it's just a beer. You have a mild, mild buzz.
Cannabis is just like that. I mean it's better than beer because it helps with real issues like inflammation, possibly anxiety, etc.
Edit: forgot to say if you want to get high, just use it once a week or so. If you need to use to daily, do so, but when you want to get high have more, but occasionally. You can also stick with a less potent strain day to day or mix in CBD flower with it .
Seconded, I use throughout the day for symptom management from a long-term injury, and I only know it still works because my symptoms go away. To get a high, I have to bong rip such an egregious amount that my throat feels raw. Unfortunately, edibles don’t work on me.
Curious if you have tried the seltzer drinks before
No, I’m not even aware of cannabis seltzer drinks. I would try it for science, but nothing ingestible has ever worked for me, including tinctures, etc.
I'd be curious. Apparently the way the cannabinoids are extracted is different from normal edibles. The drink effects only take 15 minutes or so consistently vs edibles.
Well, if I find any here, I’ll certainly give it a shot. Being restricted to smoking only is a pain in the ass sometimes when I need to dose then deal with people or go on a long flight. Can’t even use more moderate smelling vape solutions because resins and distillates both tear up my lungs for some reason. Like I’m inhaling sandpaper.
Good luck. A friend of mine had some shipped to me so I can try them. Shipping is expensive though..
huh, not sure if having something shipped to me is even an option.
Yeah depends on your state law, but it's all covered under the 2018 farm bill. No dispensary or medical cards needed.
This is for product containing thc?
Yep.
Interesting. Thanks for putting that on my radar. I’ll look into it, maybe my dispensary would know something about it or any state issues. Hawaii very well could have its own hurdles with everything coming by plane or shipping ports.
Np hope it works out for ya.
I'm convinced edibles don't work, period, and everyone who says they do is a liar. I've had a dozen or so all from different sources and never once did I notice any effect, always taking more then the recommended amount, if not several multiples more than recommended.
You are missing a liver enzyme that turns THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC, and that is why you feel nothing. More and more people like this are popping up in social media.
Oh nice, something to look up, thanks man!
I suspect it has to do with metabolism, we just break it down too fast or something. I also process alcohol pretty quickly for likely the same reason.
Only way I know for certain edibles work for anyone is when a chef friend and I made some potent ganja butter and then brownies. She was so high it was messing with her speech, and I was essentially still the designated driver until smoking some the usual way.
This isn’t a mass lie like Santa Claus. We really do get high from edibles.
It was mostly a joke, but I really can't seem to find any that work for me like any other method of taking in THC does. Tried tons of gummies and many different pastry types.
