    Can someone give me some reference for that amount? What is a typical amount to take? How much would you recommend to a first timer?

      I would recommend a 10-20mg gummy for a first timer. Maybe even 5 if you’re nervous. Personally i enjoy the 50-100mg range with 100 sending me to the shadow realm.

      600 is a lot, like a fuck ton

            Tbh the 5mg gummies I get in LA are much stronger than the 10mg I would buy in Arizona. I suspect the cannabis companies aren’t that accurate and the lab testing is rushed lol

            I can’t smoke, but 30mg/day is a baseline for me. If I want to get blasted by a campfire in the woods I like 50-80mg. I remember when 5mg was noticeable but it isn’t anymore. Also I usually buy cheap Choice edibles. Can’t wait for our local legal market to get off the ground so I can shop for nicer treats without having to look for resources coming from outside the area (we’re legal now but no legal market yet).

            Quick edit to say I also bought a 1000mg bag in Missouri that was 10 100mg edibles and I cut them up but that was fire. For a long time I couldn’t find anything over 10mg each.

              I’m in a similar boat, my tolerance is high enough that a 5mg edible doesn’t do much. The legal market here sucks so I have been using mostly concentrate these days which I kind of hate.

                  Flower is like $50 for 3.5g here and I can get a stick of concentrate for $90 so that seemed easier. I can’t even find black market down here (though I don’t really know how).
                  But back in Texas I could get an Oz for $220 and make all the edibles I could want

        Thanks! I ate an edible once. I’m not sure how strong it was as it was home made by a friend of a friend.

        I just laid in bed all day and watched anime. I don’t remember a single thing about the show and I couldn’t play Xbox. I was too disoriented the entire time.

            Could you make a guess about the dosage of the edible I had?

            I had that experience as a casual smoker. But not an every day smoker. Like once or twice a week.

                Oh, um it was a while ago but I was basically half asleep because of it. I took it first thing in the morning, it expecting it to be so strong and it worse off maybe 10ish hours later? I went out that night:

                  I’ll stick with my gut then but im not expert. Since you smoke semi regularly id go with that 10-15mg mark

        I dunno 15mg puts me to sleep and I smoke weed all day every day. I’d definitely recommend only 5 for a first timer

          Everyones different i guess, 15mg it fantastic for helping me fall asleep, wonderful, but i’m coming to realize i prefer a more intense experience. 5 is a good dose just to be safe though

        • I often times imagine failing to imagine how high I am. Then I realize I don’t actually know anymore and just drink some water and pack another bowl.

          It really used to be a problem. It still is one, but it also used to be one, perhaps moreso then and I’d like to think less-so now.

          Some days I slip up and start comparing myself to others; what if I had my shit together like some of my better-off sober friends and colleagues? Yet again, what if I were to end up worse off like some friends who’ve made poorer choices? Then I realize it’s a matter of whether I can make decisions, so I hit the t-brake and go clean for however long I feel until I’m comfortable with saying “yeah nah shits about the same where’s my trusty ol water pipe”

            Sounds like you’re pretty self aware about it all, which is a good thing imo.

            Not that my opinion matters. Do what works for you homie.

    Lol 20mg knocks me out. Maybe it was 600mg of gummy.

        5-10mg relax me while 15mg and above leave me pretty useless.

          Sounds about the same for me. Took a while to figure that out because sometimes they take a super long time to kick in
