I tried to quit smoking by using edibles. I do think they’re just as addictive

pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 months agoAre edibles as addictive as smoking? Just wondering

They’re way more powerful. I was eating like 200mg per day at one point and I was just high 24/7

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 almost a quarter gram 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.

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

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 in a lot faster too. So I only consume them on special occasions.

Whoa. I’m happy my 5mg twice a month is getting things cheap.

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?”
