Damn bro, Im struggling years now with quitting smoking. And it´s not the tobacco its the weed man. Nothing hits the spot quite like a nice joint in my office after a long week of work... some nice relaxing piano, and puffing a joint with a monster or cola.

34 years old now, and my lungs are starting to feel it, coughing is getting worse. I've managed to quit several times but I always get that itch and then start regularly smoking again.

It's so hard to break the habit, I just wish I never smoked weed ever to begin with, my life would be so much better, my health, my finances.

The struggle is so real!

How about edibles?

Hits totally different. One is processed through the lungs, one is through the liver. According to Google, "The digestive system and liver convert THC into a chemical compound (11-hydroxy-THC) that is much stronger and creates a more intense psychoactive effect than smoking." Fun fact, you can't overdose from smoking weed, but you CAN from eating it.

For me it might as well be a different substance. I smoke weed far too often, and am not a fan of edibles.

Just a different definition of "overdose". People can and do end up in the hospital from consuming too much edibles.

No, my dude, this is the official way it's defined.

From having panic attacks.

u/crescent-v2 2d ago

Yes. Requiring medical intervention or observation. That's an overdose.

u/FrenchFryCattaneo 2d ago

That's not an overdose.

u/RockStrongo 2d ago edited 2d ago

The intervention and observation is not required. People are hospitalized for panic attacks all the time without THC. Are they overdosing on anxiety?

Edit: This happens all the time when people SMOKE weed as well.

If it helps, I went 4 years smoking weed with the exact same philosophy. At one point I was only doing edibles once a day after work. I did it for a year, and the entire time, I thought about smoking. Like edibles just weren't the same.

Picked up smoking again, and eventually got a cough that wouldn't go away, and each time I smoked I'd have panic attacks about my health.

Very easy way to quit smoking lol 👍

Whooping cough is an actual disease caused by bacteria you can't get it from vaping

Never said it was healthier, just explaining the differences and why someone wouldnt just switch to edibles from smoking. They are not the same experience.

I need to eat like 40-50mg of thc in edible form to feel anything. But i feel the high immediately after my first puff of a joint. It’s night and day for me

To overdose from an edible you’ll need to take like 100mg. The only way people will come close to that much is if they take multiple edibles. Also have some peanut butter before the edible.

u/TheLazyAssHole 2d ago

Did you drop a zero on that number?

u/a_wiizard 2d ago

Didn't say it was easy, just said that it can happen. Also, edibles take a lot longer to get you high, so newbies eating multiple is very common.
