what about the edibles, though?

i have mentioned here a few times that if i can get used to the edibles then i'll have no reason to smoke anything in the future. and i've been looking forward to that.

i believe that the edibles only recently went on sale. i don't recall seeing edibles listed at the store back in march, and i haven't looked into it at all since; i just looked into it for the first time right now.

so, apparently 10 mg is a good dose for edibles. i have taken edibles in the past, without knowing the dosage, and it's tended to knock me out hard, but it's been in the context of drinking and smoking other things, so i don't have a control. i know i've eaten some things people have handed me, and it generally hasn't worked out well.

the pickings are still very slim and still relatively pricey so i'm going to wait for the variety to improve and the price to come down before i look again.

so, for example, i can buy a $10 mg gummy for $8. that seems like it's one dose. but, i can buy a gram of pot for $8 and roll 5-6 joints out of it. so, the gummy doesn't seem to be very economical, in context.

i'm not going to buy a little gummy and try to cut it into 6 pieces.

some of the chocolate bars seem to be a little more economical. they seem to split them into 2-2.5 mg pieces, which is probably on the low side, but it may be a good starting point to do some proper testing with.
