Edibles. How often? How much?

I was a total square growing up and never smoked pot and still barely drink but when edibles became legal I tried them out and I like them. But being a Nervous Nancy I worry about doing too much. I usually take one two or three times a month and usually not more than 5THC. But recently I found some for sleep that I like a lot and I want to take them more often.

I know everyone is different but I know nothing about this. I don't want to get addicted or dependent or eat through the entire kitchen since they give me the munchies but I am wondering what other people do without trouble and for those who have had trouble what crossed the line for you?

Every single person is different, OP. Just experiment with adding a 1/2 piece here and there.

You type meth, OP: not a comma to be seen.

I'll feel good for a few hours after I take one. About 6-7 hours later I'll have horrible panic attacks. So, if I don't have a nerve pill on hand I won't use an edible. They're gummy edibles, sorry OP, I'm not sure of the amount in one.

Use weed to relax or experience some euphoria while doing something you enjoy in your free time. It is bad for your sleep quality, even if it helps you fall asleep.

R3 I am prone to the same. I've found that taking an amino acid called L-Theanine about 3 hours into it curbs the anxiety enormously.

The high from edibles is a lot stronger as THC is ingested differently through the liver making it a more Psychedelic experience. They also take effect a lot slower than smoke since it needs to go through the digestive system which can often be mysteriously haphazard.

You are better off experimenting with various strains (in very small amounts) by smoke in order to control and analyze it's affect.

I notice with indica the day after or 48 hours after I have some mild depression. Anyone else experience that?

You should try tinctures, OP. The high doesn't last as long so they might be better for sleeping.

It's also easier, because of the measured eye dropper, to find the dosage that works for you. You can start low and work your way up. I use one specially formulated for sleep as I have chronic pain issues and it works well for me. Also, I monitor my sleep cycles with my smart watch and my quality of sleep, including length of REM sleep time, actually improved. When I tried Melatonin, that wasn't the case.

They don’t work for me. I ate a whole container once when I had a sugar craving.

I take a 5mg thc / 1 mg can every night when I go to bed. Sleep so much better.

Edibles really FUCK me up. I try to stay away. I'm an old-school, one-hitter, zig-zags type of guy.

40mg of Delta 9 does wonders.

I've found edibles so inconsistent that it's really only for when you have a day to lose to sleeping it off (for me, not often). And they deteriorate fairly quickly; I bought a pack of 4 cookies and the first was great, but didn't consume the last for a couple of months and it was just a bad-tasting nothing cookie.

Hard candies are the best edibles because you can swallow them, r17. Even homemade weed cookies and brownies taste like shit. Weed just doesn't taste good.

I only buy edibles, usually Peach Rings, when I’m having trouble passing a kidney stone. They nice every four years or so.

They just put me to sleep and I wake up three hours in groggy and dizzy. Fall back to sleep and wake up back to normal.

But it relaxes the urethra and meatus (tee hee) just enough to create a clear passage for those pesky stones.
