I'm convinced edibles don't work, period, and everyone who says they do is a liar. I've had a dozen or so all from different sources and never once did I notice any effect, always taking more then the recommended amount, if not several multiples more than recommended.
You are missing a liver enzyme that turns THC into 11-Hydroxy-THC, and that is why you feel nothing. More and more people like this are popping up in social media.
Oh nice, something to look up, thanks man!
I suspect it has to do with metabolism, we just break it down too fast or something. I also process alcohol pretty quickly for likely the same reason.
Only way I know for certain edibles work for anyone is when a chef friend and I made some potent ganja butter and then brownies. She was so high it was messing with her speech, and I was essentially still the designated driver until smoking some the usual way.
This isn’t a mass lie like Santa Claus. We really do get high from edibles.
It was mostly a joke, but I really can't seem to find any that work for me like any other method of taking in THC does. Tried tons of gummies and many different pastry types.
