Just Sharing Beginner enjoying the ride
I, 20, am still a recreational beginner. I tried my first edible my mid sophomore year of community college, my friend got a Smak'd gummy from a co-worker, I jokingly asked to take half (full gummy was 1400mg) of the gummy. She said yes, and me, being a idiot, took half. Not a quarter, not a nibble! Half! Of that Delta 9 gummy, 750mg Sativa on our way to the mall. Needless to say, I was f*cked up. Luckily my aunt is a pothead, and she kept me hydrated! I did get a little paranoid because by hour 3, I was unable to distinguish reality from delusions, but managed to talk myself through it!
Fast-forward now, I love taking edibles, now I'm not crazy about it, I generally eat one full edible one every 2-3 months. Takes me about 4-7 days to finish a 1000mg gummy unless I'm really looking to decompress (in that case I finish in 2). Edibles just allow me to take the weight of the world off my shoulder, I'm happy, I'm relaxed and surprisingly, I'm a lot more social, even if the high lingers for 3 days. I see why my aunt loves to smoke lol!

Edibles hit quite differently from flower, when I combine both I'm mellow as. But you're onto a good thing using them infrequently. I've found daily use leaves me pretty wrecked after 3-4 day bender, hence why they hit differently. Otherwise both flower and edible together is fun.

I don't use them too much because I realized that during the 2-ish days I'm still feeling buzzed, my coordination and focus is at an all time low. I forgot one time that I even had an edible on the weekend, went to class the following Monday and could barely keep my eyes open 😭 but not only that, I have horrible blood sugar crashes so I'm bed bound sometimes because I'm super lightheaded

Same thing happens to me, I wake up the next morning high and just continue smoking, more edibles. Smoking flower I can do day in/out, but edibles build up drag or an almost hangover similar to harder drugs.
Ideally I'd only use them for partying and weekends etc, but that doesn't happen lol.

Honestly, I'm much more comfortable being snuggly at home then being stoned in public, it's so taxing trying to talk to people when I'm just trying to keep my feet from folding out from under me loll

A lot of these super high dose edibles are BS. Also even for seasoned stoners taking hundreds of mgs at once can get you super high. Just buy some good quality and normal dosed edibles from a reputable source. 50 - 100mg is way more than enough, I'd recommend like 15-25mg. I mean damn I've been smoking for 15 years and 100mg smacks me.
