Last year, more middle-aged adults were binge drinking, using marijuana or consuming hallucinogens than ever before, according to a new report. Cannabis use surged among young adults under 30, alongside historic rates of vaping, as well.

It's very common to not feel anything the first time. I don't know if there is a scientific reason why, I'd be interested to see a study on it. My guess is dosing issues and maybe preconceptions getting in the way.

You can always try again with a higher dose and/or different delivery method. Edibles especially are difficult to dose because they kick in 2h+ after ingestion and heavily depend on metabolism. Inhalation is essentially immediate.

Yeah, edibles are often really weak for me, even when they work. Try smoking or vaping for a better sense of what it's like.

Edibles flat do not work for me. Smoking/vaping however does the trick every single time. Some people are just wired different, you may be one of those people.

I am wondering if it's because I take naltrexone come to think of it.

Edibles heavily depend on your weight and how much you've had to eat, so I can't say. Smoking/vaping is easier because the effects are immediate so you can dose as you go.

Luckily you can't OD, so the worst thing that happens is you get really nauseous. You'd have to take A LOT for that to happen though, or combine it with alcohol.

You can always try a dab pen. Those are really easy and, most likely, you'd get immediately blasted after just one hit. Downside is that the intake method definitely affects the high and dab pens are one of the worst ways to go, or so I've heard.

I just don't have the best lungs, asthma, so I'm leery of smoking anything. I'll see if I feel wild enough one weekend to try the dab pen.

You could also try fast acting edibles or a tincture, those hit your bloodstream quicker and differently than normal edibles

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think tincture might be an idea, thanks amigo.
