Do medibles work for everyone?

I have sampled quite a few brownies and cookie bars from a nearby dispensary. I was expecting something much stronger when considering the $20 price tag. Is it me or are these more for people that are looking for alternatives to sleep medication. I have yet to feel stoned or anything pleasurable. At best I'd compare my experiences to a mild benzo. I hear time and time again how people are getting fucked up out of the gourd. Is there something I'm missing? Is it possible that it's just the source, are they just a "novelty" item? What gives... Anyone else find edibles to be too weak for recreational use?

Could just not absorb it as well as other people.

I buy butter at the dispensary and it has 2 grams of hash per stick. You can see it settled at the bottom of the container. Using it was the first time eating a single brownie got me wasted. Similar feeling to a percocet (which i have a prescription for and eat daily).

I don't buy edibles other than that cause I make better ones, but the butter and oils seem to be legit and the woman complains less to me about the odor of when I make my own butter(she doesn't toke).

i agree with dirtsrfer and say make your own..

i was in amsterdam and every morning i'd have a few space cakes for breakfast.. each one was supposed to be made from .5 g of hash, and they didn't do poo for me...
about a year or so ago now i made my own with an ounce of some crap weed and a ton of trim i had laying around atm.. i made the mistake of eating almost 3 of them the first time, i my god, i felt like i got run over by a bus.. it's the highest i've ever been off of any form of cannabis, ever.. almost felt like i ate shrooms..
i went to bed about idk, 5 or so hours after eating them, then woke up about 6 later and was even more wrecked then i was before i went to bed, i shit you not.. went into the bathroom to brush me teeth and looked in the mirror, holy shit was i wrecked, lol..

imo, i think a lot of these places tend to make them weak, very weak in fact.. do yourself a favor and try making some yourself.. it's super easy and the results will knock you into next week if you over do it like i did..

All of my experiences with edibles seem to dictate that there is a HUGE cross-tolerance between smoking and eating. If I have been smoking heavy and regularly, a seemingly normal dose of cannabutter does absolutely nothing to me... but if I take a solid break and try eating it, I go through the fuckin' roof. Seems kind of a nobrainer, but the point is, there's a huge difference in dosage depending on where I'm at. Could explain a lot of peoples' variant experiences, imho.

I'm gonna agree with drtsurf and racerboy, make your own! The dispensary only has .25g's per edible, when I make mine I put at least .75 in each one. Usually more just depends on what I'm needing them for.

Also some people maybe feel it and some people may not. Most people expect to get the high from edibles that they get from smoking which wont happen as it's completely 2 different highs. I use edibles for pain and so I can eat a canna cookie and not have to smoke for 5-6hrs.

Also it can take up to 1 1/2 hrs to feel anything, if after 45 minutes you don't feel much eat yourself a small snack like say a pb n j.

I had a 50mg canna cupcake from the dispensary the other day. Wow, kicked my ass. I was laughing at my beef and broccoli so hard I was crying.

Ya you can get stronger ones, but I figure why not make your own so you know how much is in them. I make space cakes and butter, well I make a lot of concentrates lol.

I do make stronger ones but I had two jars of coconut oil from the same strain.. I built up a tolerance to that one strain over time, so getting an edible from a completely different strain/method really put me down. :)

Sometimes it's good to change it up, but yes it's better to be self reliant :).
