What's the issue with too much ABV in caps/food?

[Dramma Lamma]

Edibles are more subjective and individual than smoking /vaping IMHO.
When you inhale THC it makes practically directly into your blood stream.

When you eat it you have to pass it through a few other processes before it hits the blood stream, namely the liver and kidney.
Depending on ones metabolic rate and unique variances this can potentially spell either an increase or decrease in effectively.

My best friend has a rare genetic disorder called Epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica. We both vape together all the time and if anything he has a higher tolerance fore vapeing / smoking than I do. More often than not I'm ready to call it done when he asks for me to help him with another volcano bowl.

However if we share edibles he only needs one and often chooses to have half instead. It's often he tries a new edible and it's too strong for him and hes asleep within 15 minutes of it kicking in. Meanwhile I've literally never had a bad time or had to pass right out from edibles like happens to him, despite actually trying to on more than one occasion by having multiple extremely potent edibles in one sitting.

Granted we are talking about a fairly unique situation here.

Had a try.... One size 0 cap loaded with green love potion. U did not use ABV but poasted my herb with my SOLO on setting 2 for 10min.
No effects for one hour, after an hour i got slight snbsation. after 2 hours the high was nice/mild and clear. peaked at 3 hours and faded at 6 hours. CONCLUSION one cap is perfect for me.
Not good for insomnia. Maybe strain dependent?

Strains definitely play a role for me, as does using abv compared to green. I try to go half & half or 1/3 to 2/3 (green/abv). Think it makes for a smoother buzz. Also, abv by itself can be very dopey & green can be a little more uneasy when it first starts hitting you. Combined seems to make for better edibles for me, and all guinea pigs agree.
