As a daily cannabis user, I literally do not get hungry on my own anymore.
But I’m still fat cause all I gotta do is take 8 or 9 rips off the dab rig, and next thing I know I’m raiding the fridge at 3am and cooking up a feast fit for a king.
It’s especially annoying when the GF wants to go out to eat. Cause then I gotta sneak out of the restaurant to take a “bathroom break”, because she hates weed. Thankfully she’s nose blind enough now that she no longer smells the cart on my breath. But she notices when I dab every time, so I leave that shit at home in the balcony closet, which I’ve converted into a little smoking room so I can take care of my head at night after she goes to bed (Edit: Yes she’s aware of the smoking room. I only wait until she’s asleep out of consideration cause I hate getting judgemental looks when I walk back into the house stoned off my ass.)
Needless to say, I really gotta take a T-Break. But it’s so difficult to do so when you rely on it to eat, sleep, and keep your blood pressure low.
I wouldn’t say so, but everyone reacts differently. At least the gummies I buy still leave me with a craving for smoking. It’s just not the same for me. Lol
This was actually my biggest struggle when I tried to use edibles to quit. I would take an edible, sit for 20 minutes and think “what if I get the ball rolling with a dab?”
Edibles are actually weaker. They last longer, yes, but the stomach can’t process THC as effectively as the lungs can.
The reason why you got higher is because you don’t normally smoke/vape 200mg of THC concentrate in your sessions. That is a lot of THC; I can assure you that if you were to dab 1/5th or of a g in a single session, you’d get a lot higher than you would from eating the same amount. It just wouldn’t last as long, but would be a lot more intense than an edible of the same dosage.
I smoked an entire 1g cart of live resin in 10 minutes and it doesn’t get me nearly as high as a 100mg edible
I have heard you can have different tolerances for different consumption methods? I don’t do edibles often but I smoke every day. I wonder if that is any factor here
Even more-so because although they last longer, I find that tolerance also kicks in faster.
There’s also the lower bioavailability of edibles to factor in. I can get as stoned from as little as 150-200mg of vaped or dabbed concentrate (which is a lot, mind you, cause we’re talking about 80-98% pure THC, here; so much so that flower doesn’t get me high at all anymore, even if I smoke 3 fatass blunts in a row). With edibles it takes 500-600mg+ for me to feel anything. Edibles are limited to 100mg per package where I live, so I have to buy concentrate and make my own.
So that being said, even though the high lasts longer, it’s also weaker and requires me to spend a lot more to switch to edibles. Tolerance also kicks so fast that if I use edibles two days in a row I won’t get high the second day, even with a massive 900mg+ dose. Given that 900mg of vaped THC will last me almost an entire week, I only consume edibles on special occasions.
Whoa. I’m happy my 5mg edible twice a month is keeping things cheap. I find the physical routine of smoking much more addictive than just eating a piece of candy.

Are edibles as addictive as smoking? Just wondering

I tried to quit smoking by using edibles. I do think they’re just as addictive
They’re way more powerful. I was eating like 200mg per day at one point and I was just high 24/7
