Yeh I really wanna wait hours to get high and potentially take too much. If I smoke it I can have the exact number of drags it takes to get a certain level of high and then stop.
Like sure I know inhaling smoke into your lungs is inherently bad, but as somehow who only very occasionally ingests marijuana, I don’t see the trade off being worth it.
I will answer this as someone who strictly consumes edibles now that they're easily available but used to smoke a lot:
edibles you just gotta time it. It takes about an hour to kick in, so just plan your day accordingly.
i get edibles where you can break up dosages. I like that depending on my tolerance level i know how much i'm taking at any time.
high is stronger and lasts longer. My tolerance in general is quite high to the point where those vape pens don't so shit and even if I get stoned smoking it's gone in an hour. Even on low background doses of edibles it'll last a few hours, and on high doses it's an all day affair.
i like the psychadelic component. Taking edibles is a much easier way to reach next level stoned which is my go to. I use 4-8 times a month so I want the "experience" so to speak.
convenience. Open up package eat item. No setting up bongs grinding weed etc. I'm lazy.
