Fuck edibles, that's an easy way to get way the hell too high and trigger panic attacks.
Anyone who prefers ingestion should get into tinctures where you can be mindful of dosage.

Also, don't eat them right before you sleep. Your digestive system slows down while you sleep. I had some once before bed, woke up the next morning, I'm driving to work and all of a sudden like...oh shit its just now kicking in......

Most edibles are portioned out now by a set amount mg dose.

What's the point in doing that? Like, isn't the point to get high? Sleeping kinda defeats that purpose.
I smoke to sleep the whole night through. When I told weed doctor I needed it for insomnia, I was actually being truthful.
Because I see a number of inexperienced people in the thread thinking about trying edibles, I feel like it's important to state that edibles, while they look like the easy way to try weed for the first time, are actually a really bad idea for weed newbs. Please considering using a joint or vape before trying edibles.
Edibles are much harder to dose and difficult to predict how they will affect you. It's really easy to have too much, become paranoid, and write something stupid about it. A lot edibles are super potent even for a regular dose (20-50mg) and often inconsistent but take a good amount of time to fully kick in. Improper dosing will put you on your ass so hard and is really unpleasant. That said, something lighter like a joint or a vape can help you ease into it a little more (effects take only take a minute to feel) and you have much more control over how high you get. Also, it's way easier to share a joint with someone
I know that the idea of smoking sounds much harder/intense, but it's really not. Think of smoking a joint as sipping a beer or two and taking an edible as buttchugging.

I talk with my smoker friends who are starting to have kids. They feel so conflicted about the edibles.
On the one hand, it's a really great way for them to still enjoy a controlled recreational lifestyle after bedtime, and not have to worry about second hand smoking or having uncomfortable conversations when a kid really is too young.
But on the other hand, they really want to be responsible if we move forward into a world where recreational use is legal when it comes to young kids. It's a question of recognizing things that you need to recognize. If you're seeing some eight-year-olds smoking a dub or taking bong rips, there's no question that it's wrong and demands report to authorities, honestly. But what do you do when they're just hanging out eating lollipops, or having some cookies? Would you know one way or another? I mean, parents can get savvy about hiding stuff and locking up their stash, but if these things really are indistinguishable from simple food, you'd never know what snack they'd find out in the world and bring home from a friends house may or may not have a little extra ingredient.
They're really torn, and I feel for them. Getting on the right side of history only works if we make sure we educate and look out for each other, and make sure to respect a parent's desire to protect younger children. Sure, not everybody, including myself, is going to directly be affected by that angle, but it's something that is going to be a very big part of the debate as society takes legalization seriously and practically.

I've made linguine with clam sauce based around THC infused oil. Only problem was I basically ate the entire helping, which was meant for like 6 to 8 people, by myself over a course of like six hours lol
As someone who works in the cannabis industry I disagree. I think their popularity is about to peak. My company and others are working on new products that take less time to kick in, are easier to dose, and don't contain tons of sugar and fat. Edibles will be old news in a couple years.

That actually sounds delicious. Does the flavor work well with savory ingredients?

Which is why we don't have alchol infused gummies lying around.
A.) Agreed that they're less physically harmful. That doesn't mean they're not dangerous.
B.) Just because a THC OD is night impossible doesn't mean it's not dangerous in high amounts, especially for children. See here:

C.) Again, liquor tastes foul to children, whereas pot infused gummies taste like, well, gummies.

High?
i have a batch of brownies that has been chillin in the freeze for months now because eating like a cubic centimeter will send me to the netherrealm, so i just eat a tiny chunk and thats it for a whole day. only problem with edibles is that if i take too much, which is very easy for me to do since i have a low drug tolerance, i am just fucking useless. like i cant even talk to people when i am that messed up, i get lost in my words before i can even finish a complete sentence
It's true that the full effect of ingesting MJ edibles is not known. However, any time a person has to go to a hospital or call poison controlled because of eating too many cannabis edibles, that is bad, and something we should try our best to avoid. It's clear to me there are a number of problems with the way edibles are manufactured and sold and people are not educated on storage and ingestion. That is bad, and needs a ton of work.
The only argument I see at all of edibles being sold through stores instead of made at home is that they can control the THC levels better. But there needs to be a bunch more work in that area.

if anyone calls poison control or 911 because they ate too many edibles they probably should not be allowed near weed. the worst that happens is you will go into spin mode until you pass out or be locked in place for a few hours, it sucks but it is ultimately harmless
i mean i woke up from a super weed coma to go to the bathroom then passed out and put a dent in my wall once, but it was simply a valuable lesson about overindulgence. not gonna kill anyone!

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Edibles get a bad rap from people not understanding proper dosing. You should start at 2 to 3mg tops to see the effect, 5mg at the most.. a standard dose is 10mg.
Most of the people I've heard having bad experiences were eating like 50 to 100mg at once and wondering why they passed out for a day or had a terrible high.
Also, just because someone has a high tolerance to smoking doesn't mean that edibles won't still mess you up. They think they can toke kush all day and make the mistake of eating a whole bag of gummies like candy.

Gotta smoke or eat less than you think. I am in the same boat, and one quick puff or corner from a brownie is plenty to make me feel calm and relaxed.
Gotta get that asthmatic market!
You can still taste the pot flavor but with the right balance of Garlic, Oregeno and other spices it by no means overpowering and makes for a delicious dish that will leave you on your ass for the rest of the day.

If it takes only 30 minutes to feel, you're probably in for a wild wild ride.
Up the dosage. You want to start feeling stuff at around 60 min. If it takes longer you didn't eat enough and if it shorter see above.

To everyone who is curious, yes edibles have different effects than smoking or vaping (which are similar but also different).
Cannabis contains dozens of psychoactive chemicals that all modulate each other though THC and CBD are the two major ones. When you inhale a drug, you mostly bypass the liver which modifies drugs before it hits your brain. In the case of THC, it forms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11-Hydroxy-THC which is more potent. Also, you get a different cannabinoid profile when you burn something versus eating it which generally releases the entire profile. Edibles are also more efficient in that sense and the more cannabinoids, the more interaction and the less able your body is to process the psychoactive parts (only so much fatty acid amide hydrolase to break down cannabinoids). Finally, you are also not getting the additional effects of smoking which includes monoamine oxide inhibitors and causes a big immune response which contributes to the high.
tl;dr: edibles involve a different mix of cannabinoids including an important active metabolite not readily produced when smoked/vaped and you generally ingest more because of the slow peak.

I've tried edibles a couple times and I never feel really high from it. I get the buzzy body high and thats fine. It's just not for me.
I like the social aspect of sharing a spliff or hitting the bong. I also prefer the "mind high" from smoking. I can dose it better and still shit while high.
Also I just like smoking.

I can only dream for the day the UK drug laws are changed, I need to try some of these.
I know exactly how much I'm eating. I get these espresso beans that are pretty uniform in size.

Yeah I have gone overboard almostvevery time with edibles. I have to try it once and then I can tell what amount to eat.
Edibles are ultimately not reliable for me or anybody I know. It's fun but a waste for me, and for people I know, they've gotten WAY too high from not being able to judge the dose.
It's better just taking a little puff or two and knowing I'll feel something as long as the MJ is good.
edit: I eat whole "100mg" edibles all the time and they haven't hit me like I'd think they should. Depends on the brand though. I won't eat a whole Bhang bar or other high potency edibles, because I'd love to not panic my balls off.

Never knew edibles were so strong, so that's why I see people buying that shit all the time instead of the old method.
I've never had any sort of edibles, because I have no desire to remain high that long. I'm willing to bet it's a whole bunch more edible to kids than liquor is, though. Not to mention it already looks like candy, and there are cases of children eating them. Do you agree or no?

It's a much cleaner way then smoking a blunt, or bong.
