Greetings.
I'd like some advice from the forum if at all possible. It seems like after 20+ years of using MJ I still don't get this new potent form of MJ being offered.
Case in point :
After having a valid MJ Rec for one year now I have grown to prefer edibles over flower. Before moving to CA I used to smoke 5 joints a day X's many years. It feels so good to not smoke or even vape to get my MJ needs. At the same time my pain meds use (vicodin) has gone to ZERO and my Xananx usage has gone down to maybe < 10 times this year AND has dropped from .5mg to .25mg per use. My alcohol use is basically NIL.
All of this has been made possible with the benefits of MMJ. GREAT.
However it hasn't been all icing on the cake. There was a huge learning curve to using all this stuff. No more full joints. No more than one hit at a time. No weed right before bed etc. I have developed several rules after experiencing negative side effects. I have NEVER had side effects to weed until I moved to CA.
Anyway I like edibles. They last all day are discreet and you get buzzed gradually versus getting slammed within a few minutes after inhaling. The issue arises when I want to end the day and go to sleep SOBER. If I am super tired I just crash but lately the buzz NEVER ends. I take as little as 2.5mg per day of an indica edible and it just keeps going and going and going. If I didn't need sleep it would be great but I do ! When the edible peaks earlier in the day it works wonders. It isn't too strong nor is it too weak. I don't panic on it. I can function well do work and be social but at night around 10pm....after a 12hr ride I want that shit to end. It doesn't.
Is doing edibles everyday even in small doses a bad idea ? Do the residuals of the previous day keep building up day after day until you have too much in you even though you are micro dosing ? Would skipping a day in between be the answer ?
My other option is to do a daily CBD edible regimen and try combusting or vaping on top of it ?
So far the flower has been too unpredictable for me. Even with high CBD strains which to be honest I have only found one (gorilla meds) the entire year. Most dispensaries don't carry them.
The MJ is great and has been my best friend for years but I am starting to run out of ideas on how to approach it.
This week my REC expires . When I renew I will ask the doc these questions but I don't want to get too into it with her for fear she may not renew.
As I have mentioned IT WORKS but I do ned to iron out a few things.
THANKS for the help.
