I'm not 100% sure (I never touch the stuff, personally) but I think you can get very sick from eating tobacco.

Nicotine Poisoning: fr. Wikipedia

Nicotine poisoning describes the symptoms of the toxic effects of consuming nicotine, which can potentially be deadly.[1] Historically, most cases of nicotine poisoning have been the result of use of nicotine as an insecticide.[2][3] More recent cases of poisoning typically appear to be in the form of Green Tobacco Sickness or due to accidental ingestion of tobacco or tobacco products or ingestion of nicotine containing plants.[4][5][6]

The estimated lower limit of a lethal dose of nicotine has been reported as between 500 and 1000 mg.[7] Historical data as between 40 and 60 milligrams (the total amount in about 2 cigarettes if all of the nicotine was absorbed) in adults and about 1 mg/kg in children (less than 1 cigarette) .[8][9][10] Children may become ill following ingestion of one cigarette;[11] ingestion of more than this may cause a child to become severely ill.[5][12] In some cases children have become poisoned by topical medicinal creams which contain nicotine.[13]

For what it's worth:

Most of my ABV is from my volcano and is a dark nutty brown color. I normally discard large or thick stems but recently I've only had strains with very thin stems.

I tend to make nutella firecrackers as my preferred method of ingesting my ABV, so I pulverize my stuff in a cheapass coffee grinder which homogenizes it into powder. I've titrated my ABV such that 1 gram + 1 teaspoon of soy lecithin and a dollop of nutella sandwiched between two saltines sends my friends who don't use regularly into space on the great glass elevator. They found that breaking a firecracker in half allows for a much more pleasant high.

I find that, as a moderate daily user, 2 grams sends me to a comfortable place. It's particularly pleasant to down one an hour before a metal show and then get lost in the music :)
 
Slight sidetrack: what would you recommend making for single serve freeze options? I was thinking about PBJ in an ice cube tray with ABV mixed in. I know the oil in the PB will likely separate but I need something individual portion size, discreet, ABV based and portable

With ABV i think it varies from a low end of maybe 5% to 10% actives remaining on the really dark end of the spectrum all the way to barely or low temp vaped ABV that's still really green and at least 50% strong.

If you want better guesses (and that's all they'll be) about how strong your ABV would be, then post a picture of your ABV.

I never weigh my ABV though, I just know half a mason jar will make me a decent batch. But my main point is that it could vary a ton, primarily in the case of ABV because it depends how much activies you already have vaporized out of it.

And even then it's hard to recommend a dosage, I'd just start small as my general recommendation. If I eat extra of my edibles I usually don't get too high, just stay high longer. But you potentially could get overmedicated, See:

I jumped the gun and made an ABV coconut oil mixture last night..
It was an entire Satchmo JyAR worth of ABV (mostly light brown and green :) ) and I put about 2 cups of coconut oil and simmered for 5 hours on low heat. I poured the whole thing into a jar and it's a disgusting mixture of oil and cooked herbs.. Won't taste good but hopefully it'll serve some purpose when I decide to shovel it down the ol' gullet :p

Add it to brownie mix, seriously best option for you...actually makes brownies taste better.

I may do that, or I was considering pouring it into a chocolate banana milkshake and chugging it down.
It's still sitting in my room on the shelf. I'm a bit scared to touch it but I know it'll get me high when the time is right!

Any tips for a first-time edible user? I'm a bit nervous & excited

I always bake it into stuff, It taste alright in a VG tincture on its own also, I add it to tea instead of sugar at times, not sure coconut tinctures would work well in that though....

Last batch I made of brownies had about an ounce of AVB(Mostly brown) and 1 normal sized brownie kicked me to the floor.

Go very slowly. Make your ABV powdery by crushing between fingers for a small amount. Use a coffee grinder for larger amounts. Or put your ABV back through your grinder. Try using a teaspoon and after a couple of hours try another teaspoon if not medicated enough. Peanut butter and chocolate chips help to hide the flavor of the ABV if you wanted to mix it together and just eat it or add it to a milkshake.

From a pretty experienced hash eater, that's not far from what I would recommend. I'm of the belief that drinking cannabis in a fat rich beverage is the best oral delivery. I tend to make butter which I blend into coffee or chai, or simmer hash, bud, or ABV directly in full fat milk. I also prefer to drink this on a relatively to completely empty stomach.

To those new to edibles expressing apprehension, don't worry too much about others warning against dire consequences of over-consuming. Going into the experience with the idea that something could easily go wrong will make that more likely.

By the same token, if you want the effect of vaping a little bowl, vape a little bowl. I only eat (drink) when I have the time and intention to make an experience of it.
