Is there a way to seek out certain edibles effects like how is done with different flower strains for smoking? It seems like the edibles market in Arizona is far less diverse than flower and I'm wondering if it has to do with the effects of edibles in general? I generally want a product that will energize me and help with the creakyness I've developed over the years. I basically never seek out a mellowing high or a couch lock. Thank you for any help ๐Ÿ˜

Is that why I sometimes wake up still high after taking an edible to fall asleep? I just assumed the dose per piece wasn't as tightly controlled as they advertise.

I think this has to do with what type of edibles it is and how spread out it is through food.

For example, if I eat a large brownie with 10mg in it, that's going to basically have a time release effect if I don't eat some more food with it or after it. I've taken brownies before that didn't kick in until I had another snack or meal after. I think of it like pushing the edible through.

So yeah I'd imagine if you took an edible a few hours before bed, ate no additional food, you'd probably feel it in the morning still.

Tinctures seem to kick in fast no matter what I eat or drink after though.
