Do You Get High Off Edibles

I'm not scared of edibles, I'm scared of those types of people who are oblivious to the fact many people have low tolerance. I'd suggest you get them from a professional outlet if it's your first time, take half the reccomended and see how it goes (wait 4 hours to be sure). Even a trusted friend can get the dose/tolerace aspect wrong and honestly, i'ts a very bad experiance. The worst one I had was in Holland on the drink, not a good mix and I was ready to tap out but was with good company, they pulled me through the initial sledge hammer and then it was smooth sailing. Most of the people II know who won't touch green is because of this, a person giving them too much in a joint or what not on the first go, it's not a nice thing if you don't feel in a safe place with people who've really got your back. Small amounts > good company.

and it's digested into the bloodstream well if it's heated into an oil / fat. best to do both i think. it seems a problem happens by so many saying it didn't work then people put way too much in to compensate and go blotto
yeah, i don't decarb first using a crock pot.. i just use low heat for i forget how ever many hours, which i guess is doing the decarbing as i've never had a problem not getting high using this method..

An herbalist told me to combine pepper (preferably cayenne, I used black pepper) and oil with a recently picked bud into a paste and eat it. I did, and about an hour later it was rushing through my body. It wasn't decarbed.

See I've had it decarbed then because all my friends that make edibles either infuse it in butter or coconut oil in a crock pot on low for at least 6 hours usually 8 hrs still no high

Oh yeah I've been fucked up off of edibles! But I have these gumies that I don't feel like the potency is there. Sucks because they taste amazing! First time this has happened to me.

i get the same way, edibles wreck me, for like a day or so, and i mean wrecked, like i feel like i ate some shrooms or something.. i made some browines years ago, and gave them to a few people at work.. nobody came back for more, they were too scared to have another one..
I've had mild visual distortions when consuming ungodly amounts of edibles. Like fractals and shit and I definitely get that shroom vibe. Maybe not as intense but it's there. You don't usually think weed is trippy like shrooms but if you eat enough of it it will definitely mess you up.

Ok I have a question I can't get a good answer to so me, my two brothers, and my mom all can't get high off edibles. And everyone I've said that too are like oh man you just get shitty ass home made stuff. I think they just don't want too seem like a light weight but that has nothing too do with it I've seen people who can out smoke me eat a 50mg gummy and be fucked for like an hour or 2 I've tried edibles probable around 10 times and I have given up I have had home made cookies and brownies from like 3 different ppl and tried from them a couple times and never felt anything and yes ok it could of been just shit stuff but I doubt it but the last time I tried edibles and gave up I got 4 baggies of 50mg gummies and there are 5 in each pack so I ate 1000mg and didn't feel shit and these were from a dispensary.
Does anyone know why edibles don't effect certain people any insight on this would be lovely and sorry for the paragraph

I never heard of people not being affected by edibles but guess it's true. I feel sorry for them, edibles are awesome
in amsterdam, they sell these pre-packaged "space cake" brand brownies.. every day i was there, i had 2 for breakfast, and the ingredients list .5 gram of hash per, and i never felt a thing from them, minus a little less hungry of course..
i guess that's why when i finally make my own budder and later edibles, i went way heavy on the cannabis, big mistake that was, lol..

I make a fair amount of edibles, and the most popular format I’ve made are 5mg gummy bears. People like having the ability to fine tune their dosage. People new to cannabis are a lot more at ease knowing they can take a low dose easily and see how it goes. I always tell them to take 1 (5mg) and if you don’t get high, take 2 another day and see where you’re at. If you make them taste good, nobody has a problem eating 20-30 gummy bears to catch a strong buzz.

Either their ingredients were bs or that hash was soap bar lol

Yeah the professional outlets get a bad rep but to me they give you consistency and peace of mind on dosage. None the less, glad to see you've got a good head about it. Gummy bears :D

I hear you. I haven't had any edibles since my last adventure. My lady has banned them from the home.

good to know. i use crockpot too. my understanding is boiling water is not quite hot enough so if that's true the oil must be getting hotter than that over the course of hours.

too much oil, or were you the only one that didn't get high? just throwing that out there. maybe it doesn't work for you idk.
edit: sorry guess you said they did already. but how much bud to how much oil and how much water if any?

Me, my brothers, and my mom don't get high off them or even from dispensary but my friends will eat like one or two brownies and they are fucked I can eat a whole tray and I don't feel it I've eaten 1000mgs of gummies from a dispensary and didn't get me high either which sucks because I see my friends get all fucked up like it was their first time smoking ever

ok well i never had dispensary edibles but 1000mg is a gram and i think that would get a horse high so i guess you all got the wrong gene. maybe 10mg is enough for a starter so i guess warning to your friends don't be trying 1000!
