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 😁
Not a lot of control with edibles, but at the end of the day, a lighter does will produce a lighter effect. Beyond that you’re just regurgitating marking material.
A light euphoric high, good for creativity suuuuure bud. 🙄
I actually bought some “sativa edibles” thinking I’d enjoy the pairing of euphoria with a productivity boost as I tidied up the home and by gosh I sure did! I got so much done! I was a cleaning tornado, even vacuumed with the powder and all while I caught up on podcasts.
My boyfriend takes the same chewables to help him sleep 🫠
In my personal experience, a bowl or two of sativa gives that “up” feeling and makes me wanna do stuff. But if I smoke like an entire 8th of it, it makes me sleepy AF.
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?
I find a brand that seems robust and it’s well stocked at my retailer and order a variety, then I find one or two I like and stick to thirst for a while. I have a list of 4-5 go-tos that do the trick, and it took a month or so to figure that out.
I have found a lot of success with CBG gummies for the energizing effect without the high. I am surprisingly more alert and focused when I take them. I found a THC vape pen that was high in the cbg, and I actually had to stop hitting it early in the afternoon or I couldn’t settle down.
I have been smoking/getting high for years, and I had never experienced that before. Placebo or not, I believe it improves my day to day life (when used appropriately).
