Edibles

[LuckyCharms]

A state licensed dispensary is opening in my town.

I went online to see what they had, and I'm thinking of trying edibles.

The ones I am looking at have HHC rather than THC. I've done some cursory research on HHC because I know nothing about it. From a practical standpoint, it appears that HHC gives you a longer high, sometimes up to 12 hours.

I know next to nothing about edibles, except for the fact that you have to be extremely careful with them. They have to be processed through your digestive system, so it may take a few hours for the high to hit you. Because of this, people think they are safe to eat more and more, and by the time the high hits them, they have consumed way too much.

I've had brownies once in my life. This was back in my drinking days, and I ate a small plate of brownies while drinking beer, not knowing they were "special" brownies.

I had a very, very bad time, and I'll leave it at that.

I'm thinking of trying some HHC gummies from the dispensary.

Any tips/stories that you knowledgeable people can provide about consuming edibles would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

1. I take gummies and occasionally cannabis-infused chocolate.

I take one gummy or one square of chocolate and it takes 2-3 hours to hit my system. It doesn’t get me super high but it helps me relax and sleep.

3. Does the high give you the munchies?

I don't smoke too much anymore because the munchies were problematic for me. In that regard, is it a different type of high as opposed to smoking/vaping?

6. I get a little bit hungry but it's not too bad.

As far as highs go, I only smoked a few times in high school but from what I can remember, smoking gives a more intense high.

9. I stay away as I want to eat everything in the cupboard and refrig. As others have said start slo

Do a ¼ or ½ to start.. Wait. Check your intoxication levels and appetite levels.
YMMV and get more info on the DU Cannabis forum...

8. Half a square of chocolate made me so dizzy

I felt like I was drunk.

2. There's also a cannabis group.

You might cross post there.

5. Best advice.

Go low, start slow. There’s so much to choose from. Gummies are a good place to start. Do check out the Cannabis Group. Lots of good info there.

7. never heard of HHC. just googled it. they don't seem to carry it in the dispensaries I frequent.

I usually get Kahna or Lost Farms brand of gummy. They work very quickly (30 minutes).
