    FYI I find the dose in store bought edibles are generally poorly mixed. It’s very common for one to have 2-3x the effect for me. I’ve tried many brands.

    That’s why I take an edible at around 1/2 my desired effect, which for me is only 2mg, an hour before I want the effect and then take a vape to increase it to the preferred level. Reduces the amount of shit going in my lungs but makes the effect way more controllable.

      Are you sure it’s not you? I know what you’re talking about, but the way that they hit can be highly variable, depending on stomach contents and all kinds of factors. The store-bought gummies at the dispo by me are highly-regulated. There’s no way they’re not homogeneous. Your stuff might be different though.

        Well I won’t pretend it’s impossible. But I’ve been alcohol free for >2 years and had store bought edibles 2-3 times per week ever since. And over the years I haven’t noticed any pattern, sometimes a gummy will just be way stronger than the others in the pack, or have nearly no effect.

        Maybe it’s some variable that I can’t correlate but I would think I would have noticed. Vapes feels fairly consistent is also a clue that it’s not just my system, but idk.
