Yeh I really wanna wait hours to get high and potentially take too much. If I smoke it I can have the exact number of drags it takes to get a certain level of high and then stop.
Like sure I know inhaling smoke into your lungs is inherently bad, but as somehow who only very occasionally ingests marijuana, I don’t see the trade off being worth it.
when you make edibles ur causing a lot of the THC to convert to CBN, as opposed to smoking where only a little CBN is formed. CBN causes sleepiness and is relaxing, closer in effects to CBD than THC. i like THC tho so when i make edibles i go low and slow on the decarb step. and the high heat from smoking causes cannabinoids to break down more than when cooking (butane lighters burn at 2000 C). also when you eat THC ur liver converts it to 11-hydroxy-THC, which is about 5x more bioactive than THC, which is why you can eat 100 mg and have a nice high for several hours while if you smoke 100 mg THC (a bit less than half a gram of bud) ur mildly high for an hour or two (depending on ur tolerance obv).
