The reality is that many people in legal weed states consume cannabis via edibles these days. Manufacturing techniques have greatly improved in the past couple of years and they aren't nearly as gross tasting as they used to be, often they have almost no weed taste at all. Edibles are usually highly opaque in terms of the strains used and tend to contain at least 5mg THC per dose, sometimes 10, and that's if you trust what's on the label. Due to how edibles are metabolized, the THC remains in your system for longer, too. You no longer need to "smoke a lot" to consume a great deal of THC, a couple of edibles will do the job. A lot of edible fans don't smoke or vape at all.

When consumed as high-potency edibles, cannabis has the effects of a psychedelic. We know when using a psychedelic dose, set, and setting become critical. People taking a strong dose of a psychedelic and expecting it to be no more than a regular pot high might be in for a rude awakening, especially if they treat it casually instead of with great respect, take it in inappropriate circumstances (like at parties or clubs full of people they don't know or trust), etc. It's no wonder that many people suffer from paranoia and other adverse effects from casual use of edibles. They should really be treating a strong dose of edible cannabis like they do a strong dose of LSD.

  It can, in some rare cases, have mildly or moderately psychedelic effects when smoked, too. Especially if it's high quality, has a very high THC ratio, the user has no or almost no tolerance, and a lot is smoked in a very short period of time.
