A canabis recall for too much THC sounds like a brilliant marketing strategy

The issue is when you advertise one concentration and go significantly above it, it can cause problems. If someone with a low tolerance looks at the label and makes an informed decision about how much to take and then it turns out the label is wrong and they're actually way stronger, they're going to have a bad time
Absolutely, I'm very careful about dosage. It's more of a packaging recall than a product recall assuming it's within legal limits.
It also sheds light on some potential quality control issues. If they can't control their dose properly they're probably messing up other stuff.
That's a good point, I'd be weary.
To be fair, the product is absolute garbage. Even with the extra thc
Yup. In Canada legal edibles are limited to 10mg / dose. AKA nothing to anyone who consumes cannabis daily.
I consume daily and my hard limit is 10mg. My partner's is 5. All bodies are different.
I wish. I've tried T-breaking into oils, candies, etc and every time I'm doubling the dose every 3 days until it just makes more sense to smoke.
By that, do you mean that's the minimum dose you need to feel anything? 10mg is practically a threshold dose.
I'm a medical user, so for me, that minimum is ~350mg. Anything less is a waste of time. It sucks, which is why I prefer dabs instead.
What 10 years with no T-break looks like:
Uhhh what, 10mg is pretty decent and you could just take two doses? Some shit products advertise 500mg THC and barely do anything, others advertise 10mg and put you on the floor. I suspect the products claiming super high doses are either not decarbing or blatantly lying.
Also obligatory THC isn't everything, other cannabinoids are important
This is missing from the discussion. High THC can go along with quality but does not have to. There is high THC crap that I find one dimensional. Isolated THC in a medicine turned out to be unpleasant for many people.
In the plant It's a bit like you can only stuff so much of a cannabinoid into the resin without decreasing something else.
In NYC the weed industry is the wild west. It's near impossible to find anything under 20mg/piece because there's no regulations (the whole rollout of legal weed there is a clusterfuck). I have heard a LOT of stories from friends who knew nothing about doses and assumed that a 100mg pure THC nerds rope (or similar) would be fine. I once accidentally took 35mg thinking it was 5mg and had to Uber home sick. I've heard of kids getting into their parent's stash too
I now live in Canada where the image is from and I'm sooo grateful that it's both cheap and regulated.
Here in Colorado rec is limited to a similar limit but with my med card I can get packs that are 200 mg per gummy and come in packs of 4000 mg.
I feel like edibles don’t do anything to me. But maybe I just need to make my own, cause whenever I buy gummies i keep eating them and I just get a very very mild buzz
Eat something fatty with them like a spoon of peanut butter.
They could also be like me, some people lack the enzyme that breaks down THC when consumed. I've tried literally everything from making my own with a few oz's, to tinctures, gummies, pills, any an all of it. Had friends who thought I was joking so they would happily hand me stuff to try and I would just gladly enjoy the taste :(...
Neat party truck though to eat a dozen cookies while everyone else has 1 and are stuck on the couch while I look like the crazy weed addict completely unfazed.
I had a friend like this but the cool trick went away when they started taking omega 3 supplements, hit them hard after
Never heard this. Would be happy to try it, but I've definitely tried all the other things lol. Way it's cooked, with a fatty food, even eating a bunch of lemons or getting citric acid. Nothing has allowed me to get s high from edibles :(
If you do try, update us after a while
I felt like this a few years ago and taking a T break then eating a gummy in the morning with nothing in my stomach proved the way for me.
I usually don't get high like when you smoke but it bridges a gap to when you can smoke. I also only take 20mg to get by and about 60 to watch a movie or something. Try empty stomach after small t break.
I'v heard some people say the first couple times you eat them they don't do anything, or if you have any kind of stomach disorders (like GERD) that this can reduce effectiveness
all anecdotal though
Precise dosage is important. This isn’t a case of more is better.
I'll take my chances.
Nah. I'm good.
Agreed. Too much THC results in too little terpenes, weakening the high. I rather have a good concentrate in the 60-80% range with nice terpene profile, than that 95%+ shit that tastes like candy and barely gets you buzzed.
Do most terpenes even have an effect if ingested orally?
If they can't even get the specific amount right for the main ingredient, the entire point of the product, what the fuck else is in there, and in what quantities?
maybe I'm weird but i just want low THC with nonzero CBD 😭 why is it so hard to find?
I always figured if you want less thc just have less of it
yeah so i roll a joint and take one drag from it and I'm uncomfortably high for an hour :/ i can't really have less than that.
If there's one thing I love as much as weed, it's probably that type of packaging.
