Edibles vs Smoking

Just curious..who prefers edibles over smoking? and what are your experiences like with each? I've been experimenting with different edibles. I love the candy, especially lollipops. Also I just tried jolly ranchers yesterday and they're pretty good. The lollipops relax me, and the jolly rancher actually knocked me out.

 

it depends on the situation. if im in a situation where i cant be smoking, than ill go wit the edible, such as a long car ride or something. I like em cuz they last a long time, but with some like the brownies, its easy to over due it cuz it feels like its not working at first. Ive had a pretty decent panick attack from eating to much one time.

 

They're both good, in different ways. I prefer smoking as an every day casual thing, but wouldn't want to eat edibles every day.. They're more of an intense, once in a while, kinda thing.. then again i've never eaten just a little bit to get buzzed like i would if i was smoking time days, i go all out and get super fucked up on edibles, so that could be a contributing factor..

 

smokes a joint and eats the roach, done..

 

I got these edibles last night called granny balls (lol..) They're chocolate and dusted with cookie/sugar or something. I'm wondering how much I should eat. They're kinda small.

well I don't think I'll be getting the balls again..they don't work well & they're not very good...I recommend the jolly ranchers I mentioned earlier.

 

Smoke most of the time, but for going to a show or something I always add an edible on top. I actually made my last batch so strong I passed out on my couch. I have not passed out from weed in ages, the wonders taking a tolerance break can do haha.

 

I actually got an experience with edibles recently after a little break (break from edibles not MJ)

And I was very fond of the experience. I love to meditate while high as well as comfortably go to sleep. With an 85mg pot brownie, I was surprised by how delicious it tasted while still containing a good amount of pot. The high took about 30 minutes to start showing any effects (downside) and about 1 and half to get to the start of the peak. But through this I was able to play a little bit on some video games, and have time to meditate for an hour and still have a comfortable high. Very often while smoking the high can wear down after a meditation session, which can be rather frustrating. The edible high allowed to remain in this altered state of mind and produced grand visions and insight. (Upside)

If you are with friends and want some fun, I gotta say smoking is just about the best way to do it. If you're on your own, and are seeking spiritual enlightenment, or even just a day to yourself, I'd have to go with the edibles. I really like both, and I have had both good and bad experiences with both, but a high is a high and it's all about the scenario when it comes to this descision. A hike with some friends on edibles would be fun too!

I think I may prefer the high of edibles personally, but it doesn't surprise me when a majority of people prefer smoking. I like the extended length brought by edibles, the lack of paranoia caused from smoking and scent (ie the discreetness of edibles), and the higher likeness of psychedelic effects brought from edibles.

 

Last time my girlfriend had edibles she was told to eat one or two cookies at most . I come home her and her friend sitting on the couch laughing their ass off.I asked how many did yall have and she told me 2 1/2 cookies each .Ok so by my math -5 from +10 leaves you +5 cookies left but the plate had none on it. Only thing I can think happened they got stoned sometime around the 40-55 min mark ,got the munchies and pigged out on the cookies.

 

i've definitely eaten a second brownie before because i got the munchies.

 

I prefer brownies the high lasts longer and I don't smell like smoke

 

I like them both as the two routes produce very different effects.

For me edibles are much more of a subtle psychedelic experience.
Smoking is more immediate and initially more intense.

I don't like all edibles I've tried. The candy's are almost nil for me, but I have mucho tolerance.
Brownies and such I'm not to fond of because I'm not a big fan of couch-lock. Too often they hit like taking Seconal.
Munch, munch.....mmm that's nice.....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Lately I have been getting these and loving them;





I can easily eat half of one and go about my day with a big grin on my face.
Eating a whole one is for headphones and music or nice long sex sessions

There is something about the cocoa/caffeine/THC/CBD/CBN mix of that particular bar that hits me perfect without making me drowsy, actually the opposite.

Another one that some dispensaries have had lately is called a "Hi-Pop". It is four baked treats in a push-pop container with a total THC content of about 215mgs.
It has a little cake, a brownie, a cookie and fudge. Eating a whole one is heavenly.

Nice buzz without major sedation.

 

I never had much luck with edibles until I got these super potent hash brownies one day. Usually edibles make me just feel couch locked, tired, sometimes I just feel a little bit higher than usual.

But these hash brownies I got were no ordinary brownie, they were made from over 5 grams of hash and oil. I ate one brownie by myself, then everyone else couldn't finish there brownie, so I ate another 2 halfs by myself.

After I ate the brownie went to a show. Seriously it was so different from anything I experienced. I was soo freaking high, it was like I was tripping. I thought I was fine until some girl walked up to me and tried to talk to me. All that came out was ahuwhauah water ahwwahaha.

When the music was building up, I felt so high I thought my head was going to detach and float away. I was like just drop the damn bass already, this is too fucking much tension!

It defiantly felt like a light trip (light compared to lsd, heavy compared to a normal high). It didn't feel like it was just in my head, it had the feeling like the high was all around me, encompassing everything. I felt light, euphoric, and visually stimulated.

Now whenever I make any edibles, I try to make them at least near that potency. Had some really good hash brownies, goo balls, and rice crispy thingies sort of recently. They all have been like little trips.

Of course I would rather smoke though. I could not be that high all the time, and it just isn't as fun as smoking. I enjoy the whole process of breaking up weed, packin the bong, lighting it and watching the smoke come out. It just one of those calming experiences, that you can just comb through your thoughts as you do it. But if an potent enough edible comes along, I am down for the ride!

 

Edibles. Me and my girlfriend made brownies not too long ago. It was my first time getting high off edibles and her first time period. It was like climbing a mountain because I was only getting progressively higher. The last brownie I ate, I smoked during the peak. I hadn't been that high in so long. I'm hoping to make more sometime this month.

 

The effects are different. I prefer to smoke for all aspects. I actually dislike edibles. I rather eat normal cake before, during and/or after I smoke than eating spacecake :biggrin:

Matters if I'm looking for a body high or a head high. Edibles are really good for pain, help with sleep and relaxes my whole body. Smoking generally gives me a head high and doesn't help so much with pain management. I've got a buddy that makes edibles, I buy him out every time. The Carmel's are to die for! I always end up eating too many cause they taste soo delicious.

Lately I haven't been smoking any weed, only bho. Now weed kinda sucks..

 

you may not smell like smoke, but the whole house will reek of pot

 

If you cook/bake the brownies in the house. It won't smell just by eating them..
