    was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

    Okay, seriously. Does this actually happen?

    I hit a 84% thc vape from Michigan today, and after about 5 minutes felt nothing. 3 8 second drags until the vape auto-shutoff each time, and I feel it for about 30-45 minutes.

    If I want to be stoned literally all day, I have to be hitting the vape at least every 30-90 minutes depending on how hard I hit it.

    I usually don’t even feel edibles until I’ve had 30-50mg.

    I’m genuinely curious how much it takes for other people to get high, and how they experience it. I feel like I’m missing out.

      Hi, im an insufferable cannabis and science nerd, chiming in:

      Your reaction to edibles is based on the amount of cytochrome p450 enzyme that you have in your liver. When you combust cannabis, the thc is converted to delta9thc which is what gets you high. It’s why you cook weed before you eat it. When you eat weed and process it through your liver, it then converts to hydroxy11thc, by means of enzymes, and you digest it, which is why it takes longer to feel high from edibles and why it feels different from smoking.

      Everyone has different levels of enzyme. Some people will not get high from edibles. Some people will get high from 5mg. I eat about 300mg before I can feel anything other than sleepy. I drank a 1000mg “canna-lean” syrup once, that’s the highest I’ve ever been, it was fun, but I didn’t lose my faculties.

      I’m not saying tolerance doesn’t play a part, but there are other factors. Also if you’re primarily vaping, THATS what you should take a break from. Our cannabinoid receptors did not evolve alongside such highly concentrated thc products, they aren’t used to getting slammed with 85%+ thc, it’s used to like 10-12% found naturally in landrace strains. You’re system is burned out. The biggest scam in the legal industry is the way they market “30% thc!” as a good thing. The big number sells more weed, so that’s all the businesses care about, but cannabinoids and terpenes and INDIVIDUAL BODY CHEMISTRY have way more to do with how you’re gonna feel that high. I prefer a 13-17% thc content that is balanced with thcv, cbg, etc, but the market doesn’t care about providing you a good product, they just want your money.

      Anyway, that was a whole lot of unsolicited information, here’s a source about the enzyme ⬇️ have a great day, stay lifted ♡

      Once I did a single small inhale off a dab and missed all of friendsgiving sick in bed. Also once I took a hit off a friend’s vape and had to Uber home from the halloween party cause too high. Would much rather use an old joint where you kind of know where you are and can build more slowly

      If you take a tolerance break for even just a few days, you’ll probably notice a difference. Also you’ll probably get some wild dreams lol

      I think you’ve got a mighty tolerance and it’s probably time for a break if 30-50mg barely hits you. I’m pretty experienced with weed and drugs in general, and 50mg will have me absolutely ripped and mostly non-verbal for hours. 30mg is a sweet spot for stoned and in public.

        Holy shit. 10-20 mg orally from some good Sativa makes me question reality and sends me on a trip. I hate to say it, but… smoke less pls

          I’m actually extremely similar! Kinda. If I take a tbreak for a good few months and then hit something… yeah I’m gonna be uncontrollably high for an hour or so, maybe a little longer. The moment that I have any kind of tolerance though, highs will only last for 30 - 45 mins.

          Only sticking to bud will help, and then switching to pens will quickly slyrocket that tolerance (though I can still stay decently high for awhile)

          But then edibles? Don’t work at all. Apparently you can be missing the enzyme entirely and I’m sure that’s what my issue is. That or even after eating a whole bakers dozen of weed cookies just really wasn’t enough. Friends have tried giving me every kind of edible under the sun though an none do more than maybe a slight warm head buzz.

      Be a lightweight to start with and then don’t smoke for a decade. Shit hits harder than the first coffee after a 6 week caffeine break.

      Holy crap. Hi SARGE.

      30mg edible can get me close to non-verbal some days and just not really hit that hard others.

      I have GAD so I think that messes with my perception.

      I haven’t smoked or consumed thc in a year. I took a 10mg edible with a friend a week ago and we went to a hockey game and I felt like my stoned college days laughing about stadium hot dogs. Everyone is different. But tolerance builds more and more the more you consume and more frequently

      A single Dynavap bowl of decent flower will get me feeling buzzed. 4 bowls, I’m glued to the couch for 2-4 hours. I don’t use very often though. Sometimes a few times a week, sometimes months without using.

      I think it just affects everyone differently. I’ve never felt a thing from edibles. Don’t get much from high thc weed. Best thing for me are infused joints. Even some of those are hit or miss.
