Basically, I’m pretty wary of the adverse effects of drugs and becoming dependent on them. I’ve never done any, including drinking etc. But I’m curious about edibles, since it seems like there’s barely any downsides, besides the risk of the edible itself being too potent(?).
I know a lot of people try pot through edibles, but I think it’s a bad way to start. They can be pretty strong, the high kind of sneaks up on you, and it lasts a while. Just taking a little hit off a pipe or vape is a lot simpler and if you don’t like it, you won’t be stoned for long.
Vaping would negatively affect your lungs though, right? That’s my worry about the smoking/vaping route
Yes, to an extent, primarily due to the temperature of what you’re inhaling and not so much the contents of the vapor. With a vape you can generally control the temperature to control what compounds will be in the vapor you’re inhaling (THC has a lower vapor point than CBD, other cannabinoids and terpenes will come in at other temps) and you’ll pretty much just be getting the stuff that gets you high (compared to smoking, where you’re also getting the smoke from the burnt plant matter).
Risk-wise, I’d put it somewhere between “stir frying on a gas stove” and “sitting at a campfire” in terms of how bad it is for your lungs.
Just a word of caution that if you decide to vaporize dry flower, to purchase a vaporizer that is from a reputable brand. Off brand vapes can have the heating element in suspect places.
The other kind of vaping, the oil pen cartridge kind, is different from the flower vaporizers.
i would try a little weed first via a faster absorption method: smoking or vaping
TRUST everyone on this been choking on weed for 10 years now start with vapeing get a feel for it. Edibiles can leave you feeling traped
if u can get 10mg ones that would be cool. cut in half if nervous
Do not have the first weed you ever consume be a 10mg edible. Start with either a small amount of vaping or even smoking, or if you’re really set on an edible don’t go over 5mg first time. I’ve seen people lose the perception of the passage of time on a 10mg edible after never smoking before.
Agree with everyone else to try and vape first. Just a sip the first time, it might not doing anything, but the second time it should hit pretty chill.
