I don't know how else to describe it. I'll start vaping, there's like 20-30 minutes of comeup, 5-30 minutes of euphoria, then everything just feels dull? like hazy and blah. If I vape less, there's less of the 'blah' feeling, but then reality feels harsh and stark.

i get the same thing with edibles generally, 1h comeup, 30-60 minutes of bliss, then 2-3 hrs of gray

anyone experience this; any help?

Seconded, I use throughout the day for symptom management from a long-term injury, and I only know it still works because my symptoms go away. To get a high, I have to bong rip such an egregious amount that my throat feels raw. Unfortunately, edibles don’t work on me.

Curious if you have tried the seltzer drinks before

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I’m not even aware of cannabis seltzer drinks. I would try it for science, but nothing ingestible has ever worked for me, including tinctures, etc.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be curious. Apparently the way the cannabinoids are extracted is different from normal edibles. The drink effects only take 15 minutes or so consistently vs edibles.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, if I find any here, I’ll certainly give it a shot. Being restricted to smoking only is a pain in the ass sometimes when I need to dose then deal with people or go on a long flight. Can’t even use more moderate smelling vape solutions because resins and distillates both tear up my lungs for some reason. Like I’m inhaling sandpaper.

Good luck. A friend of mine had some shipped to me so I can try them. Shipping is expensive though..

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

huh, not sure if having something shipped to me is even an option.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah depends on your state law, but it's all covered under the 2018 farm bill. No dispensary or medical cards needed.

This is for product containing thc?

Interesting. Thanks for putting that on my radar. I’ll look into it, maybe my dispensary would know something about it or any state issues. Hawaii very well could have its own hurdles with everything coming by plane or shipping ports.

Np hope it works out for ya.

I'm convinced edibles don't work, period, and everyone who says they do is a liar. I've had a dozen or so all from different sources and never once did I notice any effect, always taking more then the recommended amount, if not several multiples more than recommended.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

I suspect it has to do with metabolism, we just break it down too fast or something. I also process alcohol pretty quickly for likely the same reason.

Only way I know for certain edibles work for anyone is when a chef friend and I made some potent ganja butter and then brownies. She was so high it was messing with her speech, and I was essentially still the designated driver until smoking some the usual way.

You are missing a liver enzyme that turns THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC, and that is why you feel nothing. More and more people like this are popping up in social media.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Oh nice, something to look up, thanks man!

[–] ethman42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn’t a mass lie like Santa Claus. We really do get high from edibles.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It was mostly a joke, but I really can't seem to find any that work for me like any other method of taking in THC does. Tried tons of gummies and many different pastry types.
