15mg is pretty high (LOL) to start. I take edibles daily, mostly as a sleep aid but occasionally recreationally, and have been at it for a couple years, and my tolerance has crept up a bit in that time (damnit), and I'm a big dude, and still, 15mg is like the top of what I ever take. 15mg gets me really high. 8-12mg is where I try to stay most of the time, and that used to be ~5mg. You don't have to eat the whole edible. The higher-dose ones are a lot cheaper per mg, and I just split 'em. [EDIT] Oh but you are correct that ones with more of the other compounds from MJ can have very different effects. I never, ever get giggly on straight THC gummies (mostly just tired) but will on some full-spectrum (that is, that went through a process that focused on extracting more than just THC) gummies or vapes. That's the stuff I stick to if I'm aiming for recreational use—for sleepy time, straight THC is fine, though I have found that full spectrum indica extracts can have a better effect on that front at lower THC doses (but availability's spotty and they're more expensive, so I don't usually bother to track down the Good Stuff)
