I smoke with my wife. In our 40's. Have a smoke and either get out in the garage and work on a project car together or just listen to some good tunes (very loudly).

It relax's us and helps with the weeks aches and pains.
my wife tried some edibles earlier this year,, she doesnt smoke,, and she ate to much edible so that was a bummer,, she drinks wine,, i smoke MJ,,
oh i am in my early 50's,, and feeling no pain,, lol

Edibles are definitely a huge market for people that don't smoke.
the problem was,, and I see this now,, i served her my home made edibles and they are darn strong, ,much stronger than the store bought legal stuff here in Oregon and washgington state,, i screwed up,, and should have gone and got some legal stuff that was milder,, oh well

My GF doesn't smoke so most of the time I'll smoke or vape alone, weekends there's always someone around or I'm visiting that smokes though. I don't mind either way, it just brings me down a notch and keeps my mind from racing.

I did something similar, gave her an 80mg pill that I take every night which for her was way too much. Eventually I got her on my coconut oil caps, had to go down to 25mg so she doesn't get "stoned" but it relaxes her and puts her to sleep a few hours later, no more sleeping pills :) Now I just make separate batches for her and me, clearly marked with the dosage - lol

I've found the same issue with several testers, it's difficult to tell how people will react to edibles, even weight doesn't correlate to dosage. I've seen friends 300 lbs get knocked out with 80's and tiny women barely get stoned on them.

What I've done to manage that and get consistent dosage is everything gets turned to sift first. Use the same amount of coconut oil in every batch and mix in different weights of sift to adjust the dosage. Initial testers get the 25's and go up from there until they get the desired effect.

Lol, I know the feeling when I first started making caps I did a 160mg and woke up more stoned the next morning than I was when I passed out. From there on in I started being more careful with measurements :)

here in Legal Oregon, having too big a dossage with edibles is all the reffer madness people big beef,, they like to refer to it as OD over dosing, when its not a true over dose,, not like alchol or heroin,, where people die or need hospitalization,,
i wish they would start saying to big a dose,,

my wife now has me feeding edibles to my old old dog, he is in bad shape,, and about an hour later he is relaxed and his breathing has eased,, he is about 100 pounds,, so i give him about 1/3 my dose,, his face perkes up when he sees me bringing it
My little dog is about 15lbs and used to have seizures, about once every 2 weeks or so he'd have one. So after hearing about how it helped all the kids with seizures I started giving him just a little dab of coconut oil every week or two, about half the size of a pea, on a treat, no seizures in almost 2 years now.
