Gummies are becoming really frustrating for me. The Tums thing worked the one time, and then not really since. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat or don't eat beforehand, it seems like a crapshoot. But on top of all that, I'm up to 15mg and still it seems like a "maybe" if it does anything.

I do think I'll have no choice but to smoke this shit.
Fats will help you absorb thc the best. Eat after you take the gummy. Like some cheese, ice cream, avocado, nuts etc.

Try taking a gummy and get your workout in while it activates. Seriously it's so different than just taking them and being a lazy piece of shit.

If you do not like smoking, you could try a vaporizer - something like Exceptional Cannabis Experiences with PAX. Buy regular flower and puff away.

Nah, don't get a Pax. By price from lowest at $100 bucks the Planet of the Vapes One. A bit more at 150 is the Planet of the Vapes Lobo. The most expensive that I would pitch is at about 240 and it is the Arizer Solo 3 v2. I have both the Lobo and Solo 3. It is an investment, but if I would have gotten the Solo 3 first I wouldn't have upgraded. The Solo 3 is the easiest to clean and use imo.

I have also dabbled in the butane version of these like this Dynavap M7xl.

Where you put your flower in the tip and then use a torch lighter to heat the cap and then hit it when you reach the right temp. These are a bit trickier to use, but they hit clean if done right. You can also get an induction heater if you don't want to deal with the fire.

I found edibles to be a completely different high than smoking/vaping - if you like how edibles feel you may not like smoking. For me anyway, smoking/vaping is much more of a head high while edibles are more of a body high, and stronger. Maybe the edibles I got were just crazy strong, I dunno (they're from the darknet).

There's definitely variability with edibles in that sometimes you take the same stuff and it's strong, some days it's less so. I don't take it often but on days I do, I'll take a low dose and see how it feels after an hour, if it's strong I leave it alone, if it feels weak I pop a couple more. The same ones I take 5 of, my wife takes 1 and is knocked the fuck out, so maybe I'm just not that sensitive to THC.

So these gummies are such a crapshoot, think I'm going to end up buying some buds at some point in the next week or two (likely after my actual card comes in). I didn't realize you needed to "prepare" it before smoking though. Would I be okay just finding any smoke shop and buying a grinder, or should I buy something on Amazon or some kind of speciality online headshop? I guess I'll probably get some kind of normal pipe too, because even though a bong is more familiar to me, I don't want to have to find a place to store it.

Go to any smoke shop or Amazon and they will probably have grinders. They are also at crazy ass price points that can range from 10-300 bucks. I have owned a lot of grinders over the years and have settled on a Santa Cruz Shredder that I have had for a few years now. Just stay away from plastic and painted ones. You may also want to look at a dugout/one hitter instead of a pipe.

You just grind up your weed and put it in that compartment. Take the pipe and twist in the flower to fill the tip and light.

Bro, me and the boys used to smoke a bud off an empty beer can back in the day if we were in a pinch, you're overthinking the shit out of this. We didnt prepare shit, lol. Get a one hitter or a simple pipe and enjoy. If you end up enjoying smoking buds then you can get weird with it.

Yeah we would go to 7-11 and get some chips and sodas and making a bong in the woods out of the soda bottle in about 3 seconds lol.

Probably breathed in plastic fumes which might explain some stuff though.

I overthink things. Probably why I kind of like it so much, and why it works so well for PTSD. Allows me to finally turn the brain volume down a bit.

With how expensive this shit is, I don't want to waste my money though. So I research. I don't want to even get started on the anxiety I have about picking where to buy this shit (or which strains), because it seems some places are pretty crap. And I don't exactly know what I'm buying. Florida's also apparently had issues with mold and so add another layer.

Not sure if the Florida weed community has a good subreddit. But the one I use for Michigan is very informative when it came to finding places and different strains. It's the only thing I use Reddit for any more.

Ya I figured you being in Florida might have sonething to do with the inconsistent gummies. I'll load up on em whenever I'm in Colorado (once or twice a year) and I haven't ever had that problem,but they've been doing it there for long enough that I guess everything is pretty dialed in.

They're apparently trying to reverse legalizing weed in MA and pulling some stuff like doing petitions and lying to people about what they're signing.

It'll never pass of course. I think it's a pandoras box you can't close once opened.

Well Michigan just slapped a 24% wholesale tax on weed that goes into effect Jan. 1st. Basically making it not worth it for out of state buyers from other legal states.
