I don’t know why the U.S. gets shit for using the system that our colonial overlords forced us to use in the first place.

The only reason we’re still using it today is inertia. If we gradually tried phasing it out we’d have a lot more people on board with officially switching over to it versus the “ripping the band-aid” method of doing it all at once and causing culture shock to a bunch of ignorant Americans who haven’t done math since 8th grade.

Did I get transported to the Epstine Universe? I swear it was always the Epstain Files!

You already have some great answers in the thread, but i just want to add that if you or anyone else reading this is trying marijuana for the first time, do an edible, as low strength as you can get it, and see if you like it first before experimenting with the other ingestion methods.

Smoking it will be an unpleasant feeling and you will cough and sputter and your throat will get hella dry.

Vaping or using a bong will probably get you too high too quickly and you might have a bad trip.

For my first time I did a 2.5mg gummy and it was not quite enough. I could feel it working but it was too low dose to have an inebriating effect on me. Then I bumped it up to 5mg and it was great, gave me a nice head high without completely disabling me, i could still carry on a conversation and play videogames and such without any kind of impairment. I went up to 10mg and that was the sweet spot for feeling high for hours but not really being able to do much other than binge watch YouTube videos and eat junk food. I’m not really going to be productive or coherent in that state. 20mg gummy gave me a bad high both times that I tried it so that’s pretty much my limit.

Just be careful and give them time to kick in. The “these edibles ain’t shit” mentality is real and will get you into trouble fast. Can sometimes take 2+ hours to ramp up to the full effect and will last for 8-10 hours afterwards.

Take my word for it Brits, don’t let this toxic tipping culture sneak in. Once it’s in place it will be impossible for it to go away.
