Is there a way to seek out certain edibles effects like how is done with different flower strains for smoking? It seems like the edibles market in Arizona is far less diverse than flower and I’m wondering if it has to do with the effects of edibles in general? I generally want a product that will energize me and help with the creakyness I’ve developed over the years. I basically never seek out a mellowing high or a couch lock. Thank you for any help 😁

    Pretty sure it’s mostly placebo, so find some edibles marked “sativa”, pretend the strains didn’t get irreparably mixed during prohibition, tell yourself this is better for creativity and energy, then take a smaller dose and hope for the best.

    Edit: while I’ve never seen it, it’s not impossible to imagine edibles with caffeine in them as well. Or to take some caffeine close to when your edible hits. I like to start some weekend mornings with a big pot of strong coffee and a bowl, and I tend to get a lot done those mornings. Although, I was cleaning, doing chores and cooking on Sunday morning before I started my little ritual, so take from that what you will.

      Caffeine you say? I do medicated coffee daily, with my own tincture, works like a charm.

        Hey that sounds interesting, can you tell me more about it and how you do it? I loooooooooove coffee, and if it got me high, I bet I’d like that too

          I vape dry herb, which gives me ABV.

          I collect an eighth or so, drop it into an iced tea bag, put that into a 600ml beaker, smother it in Big Red 190 (half the $ of Everclear) and let sit overnight.

          In the morning (and for dayz after) I draw off 5-10cc’s, drop it in a mug, do pour over to taste and add cream to bind the THC and make it digestible.

          Solid 10/10.

          Sorry for the wall’o’text, hope it helps.

            I’m sure the coffee covers most of the abv taste but if you water cure it first the resulting tincture tastes way better. I use a French press and agitate with the plunger, change water then agitate some more for 4 or 5 cycles until the water is clean looking then dry. Seems like more work than it is and the extracts or edibles I make taste way better.

              I have not done this in the past because, as you said, it seemed like a lot of extra work. As you outlined it though, using the FP, seems pretty ez and def worth trying. Question. Do you “assist” the drying, i.e. low heat convection oven or just let it dry over time?
