    Edibles don’t do shit for me. I had a whole pack of gummies a few weeks back and nothing. Made some brownies on my own, mild at best. I’ve tried the infused drinks, nothing again. I do vape but I dunno if that’s any better than smoking

      Dry herb vaping is less harmful than smoking. However, vape carts & distillate is not something I trust and have had respiratory issues from.

      As far as edibles go, it takes some trial & error but you can dial in your dosage. Store bought are wildly inconsistent and normally don’t work for me. I make my own butter & typically make brownies with it.

      I use 2oz decarbed* cannabis per 2cup butter in crockpot with a little water. Slow cook for 2-3hr, strain, chill to separate and discard water. That canna butter gets turned into 48 brownies…which are roughly 2 dosages per, for me. I tend to use the Kodiak Cake brownie mix because it calls for more butter than other boxes and I’ve been pleased with the results.

      *decarbed - grind up cannabis & bake in oven at 240f for 45min.
