Edible issue

No idea man, but experienced the same situation with a buddy, but I'm usually the one flying while he talks shit on my edibles. Introduce yourself to honey oil caramels, they shut his ass up.

Cool, I'll look into those. Maybe it will help.

A couple of things to consider:

Everyone's biochemistry is different, one strain that knocks down one person may be an 'upper' for another. Have seen this firsthand and it's weird, but very true.

Person I mention has a few medical issues including 'Graves Disease', which affects the thyroid, which is the bodies 'transmission' so to speak. So, what would normally knock out most people, this persons unique medical make up affects how cannabis affects them. Just some 'food' for thought there. (pun purely accidental, but I'll take credit anyways, what the heck)

edibles are going to vary person to person. I have only had 1 medible that made me wish I had taken less then what I had. (firecracker that was 1+ mo old w/2g decarbed green on it)
I medicate daily. I am a chronic pain patient who is sick of his hard core narcotics and found or refound pot again about 2 years ago.
I have tried almost all the "quick and easy recipes" and all the longer ones. I have used up more pot experimenting with what works for me for about 2 years.
The capsules are my fav. I think most folks really want that "high" feeling and they turn to edibles to get that more "intense" high. for me there is NO high feeling I get pain relief and a bunch of energy (most times)
If you are currently on narcotics for pain it's been my experience the narcotics dont work nearly as well as the green does. Infact I would wager to say it hinders some of the effects of it.

What has been your medible go to when you are trying them?

I've wondered if true "opiates", poppy based medicine, compare to opioids, synthetic copies of opium, effect the body the same. I realize that the opioids are designed to mimic the same effect on opiate receptors. But we've seen the effect of "synthetic marijuana" are not the same. MMJ seems to take care of most of my problems. MJ has been the best pain reliever for my chronic pain but for acute pain I still need something to get me over the hump. I've wondered about growing some poppies and see. But if has kept me of of narcotics.

I don't have a "go-to" yet, since none of them seem to work. So far everything I made has been cannabutter based. I'm actually a smoker so I don't have to take sleeping pills or opiates anymore.

I really dont know much about what is synthetic optiates... I have had 20 years of use starting with reg strength vicodin then norco then to injections.

I honestly would hate to see anyone using the narcotics as recreational use but I know it happens and my advise as someone who spent 20 years on this crap...

run away from it.

I have tried canna-cookies on 3 seperate occasions & only noticed a small diminishment of my pain on each consumption, wherein my husband ate half of his canna-cookie & was mellow & pain free, all 3 times. When we smoke, he needs as much MJ as I do to have pain relief, so I am confused as to why the cookies affect us differantly. It's nice to know it's not just me tho. Must have something to do with our chemical makeup, I guess?
