I've always found if I use THC for a bit I tolerate/adapt to it. Quit for a week and my tolerance drops back down.

Based on that, my suggestion would be upping your dose to 5 or 10mg of 50/50, or quit for a bit.

Wish that was the case here, I didn't use it for about 2-3 weeks straight when I had my back to back cold, tolerance never moved whatsoever, though it's also not gone up as I take just enough to help me as a sleep aide and not 'get high' if that makes sense. I guess I'm not taking enough for my body to think it's needing to build a tolerance to it?

well that's a strange effect, but everyone has a different cannabinoid system that responds differently and you could be very right as you don't take enough to build up any tolerance but for most this is not the case, most people stop using and their system resets, this is why many people who partake in Canibus like to take breaks every now and then so they can get the effects much stronger than before, but if your getting your desired results then your good to go,I have been taking nabilone which is a synthetic cannabinoid for years to help me sleep but I was only on the lowest dose and it stopped working a few months ago so my doctor doubled it from .5mg to 1.0mg and the results were not good at all in fact it caused me to get super hyper and had no chance of sleeping well on it so I have stopped taking it, so I do not recommend it stick to use the natural types

"Hi" everyone 😄
I'm new to edibles as I'm done with boozing!
Curious which scenario is best.

#1, eating X amount of THC edible in one dose after dinner a little while before sitting down to a movie on a full stomach.

#2, eating the same X amount of THC edible in three doses, first dose one hour before dinner then another at dinner and last dose one hour after dinner for movie enjoyment?

What would give a better longer lasting high?

well everyone is different but I would logically think eating them spread out would give you a gradual high as time/night went on also lasting longer, if you were to eat them all at once the effects could be stronger than you wanted once it kicks in, but as I said everyone is different so it's really something you would have to try out to see what you prefer.

The one thing I tell everyone when first starting out with edibles is to take it slow and work your way up, so you can get the desired effects your looking for, some people take way too much for them and they end up really not liking the effects, this can also turn people off of them pretty fast. Go slow and experiment.

The high from edibles lasts pretty long compared to smoking/vaping cause it takes time for it to get into your body a common mistake is some time goes by and the person says I don't feel anything and eats more this can be a bad idea cause you can end up way too high and not like the feeling or it can just knock you out, some of the best sleep I have ever had was from edibles (which I haven't been able to do in many years), they can last 12-24 hrs depending on the amount ingested. here's a pretty good PDF on edible use.

Ya when I was using it for medical reasons it took me a few weeks of daily use to get my brain back kinda working but I then went for my 5-6 surgery and came out of it and magically no longer needed it which was great cause it wasn't cheap to use the amount I needed monthly, now if I use any form of it besides CBD isolate I am useless I hate the way it makes me feel and my brain goes on vacation for a few hrs, luckily for me I do not need it anymore

I got my wife into it every since she quit drinking. Seems to help her a tone for decompressing after stressful days. Doesn't take much 5-10mg gummies.

I won't smoke but the gummies are pretty good. Amazing how you can just walk in and buy everything now.

For me iv found knowing you're strains and what affects you helped alot. I started using as every teen does but quit as 1 was extremely illegal and 2 were I lived in the Arctic was damn near impossible to get and 3 was always from random shady people.

FF 25yrs later it's legal and there is not only a selection but also ways in which you can enjoy. I found when I'd hit the gym really hard a few hits of Sativa really helped with boosting recovery time and I'm taking literally 1 joint was enough to last several workout sessions.

Now when it comes to wanting to really relax and enjoy a day off a lovely Indica will set that mood perfectly and I can rip/tear muscle to hearts content at one point I'd went so hard I felt dead from neck down.

Now as I'm old ASF I will only take a Sativa when I feel it's time to get to work and organize the garage or if I wanna get some serious reps in.

Indica really works well and I only ever need 1-2 puffs can't Finnish a full stogee from the weed shop anymore.

And no I haven't tried the gummies or the thx red bull they sell in Edmonton as I'm sure that's end me 🤣

My wife eats one 5-10mg an hour or so before bed with a 50/50 THC-CBD mix.
Remember:
Indica = idiot (sleep)
Sativa = superman (clean entire house)
