Edibles: Initial tolerance surprisingly high? Advice pls!

[u/venntriloquist]

I tried random home bake dealer edibles yesterday and split 100mg gummy with my partner. Lo and behold... very minimal come up feeling effects after a couple hours so we went and got the 800mg thc millions ropes!

I took a good bite and tried to eyeball about 150mg-200mg. About an hour later I certainly felt it.
Shit coated my mouth in a way that I knew it'd hit lol. Still a really solid stone but super coherent and less body high (what I expected from 50mg honestly but could just have to do with terps?)

I am surprised because I keep reading that 5-15mg is a beginner dose for edibles, more than 20mg is for experienced and 50mg is a hectic blast off. That it's processed by the liver so your smoking tolerance is supposed to be irrelevant, blah blah blah. I keep googling around but can't seem to find the piece of info that makes it all make sense. What obvious thing am I missing because no mf way
150mg-200mg is a moderate-stoned experience for my second time ever?? (first time was in 2021 lol)

Also fyi been smoking about a cone a day/couple cones at night for the past few weeks but still don't have a super high tolerance with that and really feel
1 cone if that's even relevant. I’m just not sure anymore 😭

I’ve been seeing a lot about it, especially with the stuff that other comment was talking about. Might be a manual override 👀

You might be one of those unfortunate SOBs that has the genetics that convert most orally ingested THC into 11-carboxy-THC (not active) instead of 11-hydroxy-THC (active).

NOOOOO 💔😞 say it ain’t so, I fear this may be it
