Did you smoke more pot/take more gummies after it became legal in your state? (1 Viewer)

15-25 year old me smoked way more pot than 40-50 year old me. 25-40 year old me, with it not being legal anywhere, smoked way less than 40-50 year old me
 
This still amazes me, but I do occasionally run into people that take these massive doses

I usually go between 5-20. 20 gets me pretty damn high. Wife goes between 2.5-5. If I give her any more she’s noticeably affected

I posted in the other weed thread a while back that some of us lack an enzyme for digesting THC that renders most edibles useless. Better chance of me catching diabetes from all the sugar than a high from an edible.
This is interesting, is it an all or nothing thing? I find edibles have a mild effect but not nearly the effect of smoking even if take high mg edibles.
 
I didn’t change much at first, but over time I started trying different things just because it was easier to get. I picked up a weed cart disposable on a whim one night, and it ended up being way more convenient than rolling or even packing a bowl. Now it’s kind of my go-to for weekends.

I should probably invest in more gummies/edibles rather than destroy my liver with beer and vodka/whiskey. I kinda just like the process of having a cocktail (especially at home) and watching sports or some mindless show on TV and getting a buzz. Eating a gummie/edible and just waiting for it to kick in would be .... boring. I dunno.

ALSO - anyone have experience with nicotine pouches like Zyn? A work buddy offered me one (and I accepted) during our fantasy football draft at a sports bar last week. I was enjoying a couple of beers during the draft, but man, the buzz was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I've never been a smoker (I've probably had 8-10 cigarettes in my entire adult life) but these Zyn things have me interested. I've Googled 'em to see what the major side effects are and it seems like - like with most things - they are OK in moderation. :shrug:
 
Fun facts about nicotine. It is a poison. In the past it was sold in the US as an insecticide. Nicotine exposure causes the brain the form new receptors in the brain that only nicotine stimulates. Nicotine addiction is harder to break than a heroin addiction.
 
I’m in the UK and it’s still kind of surreal seeing how open everything’s become in places like NY. Over here it’s a bit more controlled, but I’ve leaned more into CBD oil lately, especially for stress and sleep. If you’re curious how it stacks up or want to explore different options, this site has been pretty solid for figuring out what’s actually good and worth buying

In a legal state -

im a big fan of unwinding with a few drinks after work - trying to lose weight as well as keep my liver intact had me looking for alternatives but I also enjoy the process and hated the long delay of edibles. Just discovered THC seltzers - come in 5, 10 and omg 50. I started with a 5mg and it satisfied my urge to have a drink and it gave a nice crystal thin buzz pretty quick - didnt last as long as edibles but definitely was pretty decent. Going to try the 10mg. zero alcohol so easy on the liver and 10 calories vs my few hundred per night bourbon.

Anyone else discovery these?
 
Don't use any more than before to get high; maybe 1-2 times a week.
I use a heck of a lot more for other purposes though --- physical (leg) and mental relaxation during the evenings, and to help sleep. Balms and edibles.
 
I swear by the Delta 8 CBD gummies! I can't do pot...any type of smoke makes me ill. I have a bad back and arthritic hip that "requires surgery" and arthritic shoulders that are just a pain tolerance thing. Doctors would just prescribe me oxy/hydrocodone for pain so I could sleep at night (would just toss and turn since I couldn't get comfortable). My wife told me to try the Delta 8 gummies and OH MY GOD!!! They're GREAT! I only do the 25 mg since that has worked well for me a couple hours before bed. But I have little to no pain throughout the day and I sleep like a baby! My wife says I am always out within moments of my head hitting the pillow. For now, surgery is an after thought. I tell any one willing to listen to try the CBD gummies if they have any sort of pain!

*ETA* Mary Jane is still illegal in my midwest state. :frown:
 
Thought I’d ask here. What’s the most budget friendly edible option? Right now I get the THC/CBN gummies that are fantastic for sleep. Take about 15mg 1-2 nights a week.

These gummies are expensive though and I know there are other options but I’m woefully uneducated on this stuff. I know there are these syringes or oils people use to make their own edibles which seem to be more economical. But seems like it may be harder to dose out? No idea.

I’m also not averse to making my own gummies which could be fun but I worry about shelf life and consistency of the dosage from piece to piece.
 
I think it depends on your state, they practically give it away in Michigan. I’ll often find specials like buy 5 packs of 10 x 20mg for $15 ($3/each)

I’ll literally go spend $100 at the dispensary and it’ll last me 6 months. That’s with me taking 100-150mg a week and the wife maybe 25

I use THC/CBN like you do.
Before shopping at particular dispensaries I usually look at prices from 3 overall sources, which will also list nearby dispensaries having that product and the respective prices.
Jane Technologies
leafly
weedmaps
I used Jane the most.
The price I'm looking for is $1 or less per 5 mg THC on products with a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio of THC to CBN.
For example

I do a search for 'CBN', then filter the results for 'edibles', and add my location (which is not in that link).
Then I look at the nearby dispensaries in the results and see what sales they're running.
 
I know there are these syringes or oils people use to make their own edibles which seem to be more economical. But seems like it may be harder to dose out? No idea.
I do this. I make my own oil syringes (rso it's called if you buy it at a dispensary) by a simple alcohol extraction, but you can buy the syringes too. You can use an online calculator to find the dosage each 1ml syringe will have if you know the thc/cbd/cbn content of the flower you're using.

After i have the oil produced i mix it with coconut oil and sunflower lecithin (for bioavailability) in a ratio to produce the desired strength and then pipe into gelcaps. I can make any strength i want, super cheap, and the best part is the cooking process with the oil can produce more cbn by cooking longer (i also use it for sleep) as the thc will break down into cbn the longer it goes.

It's really not that hard and it is much cheaper and you can control dosage really easy. I can go farther indepth if that helps anyone, but it's a good option if you don't mind a little time in the kitchen one day a month to make everything.

Well first off, you are in one of the most consumer friendly markets in the country, pricewise.

Many dispensaries have their day of the week sales (edible Monday's - PreRoll Fridays, etc.) I know the Drops tins are only like $15 to $20 for 20 gummies.

Pennsylvania is close to legalizing recreational weed and while the proposal isn't all bad but it certainly isn't all good, with limits on THC content and with a requirement that it be sold at state-run stores.


  • Under the bill, adults 21 and older would be able to legally possess and buy cannabis from stores licensed and operated by the Liquor Control Board (LCB), which currently controls alcohol sales in the state.
  • LCB would directly control the cannabis retail side of the industry, but it would also be responsible for licensing marijuana cultivation, processing, transportation and on-site consumption businesses that could be privately owned.
  • Cannabis shops could not sell more than 42.5 grams of marijuana, which would be the possession limit, to an adult within a 24-hour period.
  • Possession of up to three times the allowable amount would be decriminalized. Possessing up to double the amount (around three ounces) would be punishable by a maximum $250 fine, while possession of up to three times the legal amount would carry a maximum $500 fine.
  • Cannabis flower could not contain more than 25 percent THC, and edibles would be limited to five milligrams of THC per serving, with a maximum 25 milligrams total.
  • Adults who obtain a home cultivation permit from LCB at a cost of $100 annually would be able to grow up to two mature and two immature plants in a secure location at their residence for personal use.
  • Until marijuana sales begin, possession of small amounts of cannabis (defined as 30 grams or less) would be downgraded to a summary offense with a fine-only penalty of $250.
  • Marijuana products sold at licensed shops would be subject to a 12 percent excise tax.
  • Revenue from those taxes would be deposited in a Cannabis Revenue Fund, managed by the Department of Revenue (DOR). That fund would be used to cover administrative costs within the various departments that have a hand in regulating the cannabis program, including the facilitation of expungements for people with prior marijuana convictions for activity that would be made legal under the law. The remaining revenue would be distributed for a community reinvestment fund (50 percent), substance misuse treatment programs (10 percent), cannabis business development (5 percent), minority business development (2.5 percent) and grants to county courts that process expungements (2 percent).The rest would go into the state general fund.
  • Local municipalities could impose an additional 3 percent tax on on-site consumption lounges operating in their jurisdiction.
  • The Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts would be tasked with overseeing cannabis expungements, providing courts with a list of eligible cases that must be automatically sealed within two years.
  • A Social and Economic Equity Advisory Committee would be established under the bill to “promote inclusion and participation in the regulated cannabis industry, including through an indirect cannabis business, by persons that may qualify to be a social and economic equity applicant.” The committee would be responsible for a new Social and Economic Equity Loan and Grant Program that would “provide financial assistance to certified social and economic equity applicants, certified social and economic equity licensees and indirect cannabis businesses that meet the qualifications of a social and economic equity applicant.”
  • Eligible social and economic equity applicants are defined as those with a “household annual income below 200 percent of the Area Median Income in their county of residence,” and they’d also have to either have a minimum of 65 percent ownership by justice-impacted individuals or those who’ve spent five of the last 10 years in a designated historically impacted community.
  • The bill also contains rules around policies related to cannabis advertising, packaging and labeling—as well as requirements for businesses around ownership and a mandate to have a labor peace agreement in place for workers.
  • Public consumption would be prohibited, with offenders subject to a $100 fine for a first charge and up to $200 for subsequent offenses.
  • The legislation would also provide state-level protections, clarifying that residents who use cannabis in compliance with the law cannot be denied firearms rights, medical care, custody rights and professional licensing.
  • Workers who use cannabis off the job also could not be punished or fired based on the presence of THC metabolites in a drug tests—with key exceptions. Federally contracted workers could still face penalties, and employees would not be protected if the company has explicit prohibitions in its rules.
  • The legislation would not permit local municipalities to bar cannabis retailers from operating within their jurisdictions.
  • Possession of marijuana by an underage person would no longer carry the threat of jail time, replacing that penalty with escalating fines and a possible referral to a diversion program.
  • With respect to licensing, LCB would be required to issue licenses for 50 cultivators, 50 microcultivators, 50 processors, 50 microprocessors and up to 50 transporters. Those numbers could increase depending on the results of a market study.
  • If LCB determines that it’s in the state’s best interest to expand the market, it could issue licenses for existing medical cannabis cultivators and processors to service the adult-use market. Those prospective licensees would need to pay a non-refundable $15,000 application fee and $20 million for each license.
 
Moved from NYC to Idaho in 2021. NY hadn't legalized yet and Idaho won't be any time soon.
Haven't smoked since 2018 and don't really miss it. I've never tried an edible and would consider it if given the chance.

I hate this idea I hope it never passes. It will

I’ve been partaking since the 80s. I like it better the way it is now. We vacation in Jersey where rec is legal and it’s gross. The boardwalk, the sidewalk outside the ice cream shop, the hotel pool (next to the street) all you smell is weed. It’s ****ty especially when the grand kids are along.
Legal in New York also but my only experience there is the casino. Same story. At least it’s all adults

BTW, those Drops tins are amazing. Best gummy I've had so far.

I've made some butter for baked goods, but I use most of my homegrown stuff to make topicals.

I'm in the industry in NJ, and the dispensaries just over any bridge from PA are doing 6 figures a month.

As someone with a good amount of exposure to these stores, this is my company, this news doesn't scare me. Looks like half measures that will keep people coming over the bridge.

Thank holy f××× Michigan ain't next door
