This article reads like something Vice published in 2012. Quite honestly, I only made it 1/3 through. We’ve all been to those glass case dispensaries by now. The world of weed isn’t that new and exciting anymore, c’mon guys…
They seemed to discuss reducing as much of the plant as possible to make something less variable, but smoking has gotten so many improvements what about edibles?
Just make a THC capsule that works whenever I take it, cumulatively if possible.
Not lousy gummies that I can only take once in a 24 hour cycle as my tolerance skyrockets. Followed by a hangover effect caused by as little as 10 mg.
Those current gummies, if my dosage isn’t enough and I take more later (low and slow), the second dose never quite catches up to the first one. It’s just one big non euphoric haze.
I’ve tried sublingual RSO, tinctures, and edibles. The current world of non smokable weed needs a lot of fundamental changes. It’s almost like edibles are stuck in the 70’s era of pot brownies but they reduced it down to a gummy.
- rusk 1y agoYou could try decarbed weed in gel caps. It’s just the first stage of edibles without all the extra food gunk.
- pipeline_peak 1y agoUnless I’ve mistaken what you suggested, It needs either a carrier oil or ethanol to be psychoactive, at least how things stand now. And if what you suggested is like anything that I’ve tried, it’s the same problem. They just aren’t as reliable or consistent as other oral drugs. There needs to be research done so we can do away with smoking. People who take opioids don’t need a pipe, why do we?
- rusk 1y agoYes you need to take it with something. But you don’t have to be messing about with somebody else’s idea of what a nice treat is. We have vaporisers, if you want a safe reliable non-pipe solution for self administration.
- pipeline_peak 1y ago>But you don’t have to be messing about with somebody else’s idea of what a nice treat is. It’s nothing about a personal treat, it’s about a reliable product that works with as minimal physical damage as possible. Vaping and smoking just don’t meet that criteria. Think of something like Vicodin, you just take the sugarless pill and it just works. Maybe quicker and harder depending on how empty your stomach is, but far less unpredictable. I don’t think we’re ever gonna get there with THC without the research funding currently only found by major pharmaceutical companies.
- rusk 1y agoWhat was your issue with tincture again? I don’t think you’d run side effects like you do with Vicodin
- pipeline_peak 1y agoI was only using Vicodin as an example of something that’s consistent. I could’ve mentioned almost any other well known psychoactive pharmaceutical I should probably try oil based tinctures. I’d imagine they’re the same deal as gummies, but I’d have to see. I tried ethanol tinctures sublingually. Not only did they burn like hell but they were leaving cuts under my tongue.
- rusk 1y agoFor me a strong coconut oil based infusion hits pretty much instantly
- gfody 1y agomaybe something like a crushed protab via nasal insufflation
- temp0826 1y agoNothing will get rid of the hangover (unless you count being high all the time). Why not dabs? There are also suppositories. Eating it implies the digestion process which makes it massively variable (fat solubility, how recently you ate, how good your liver is etc...). I would think sublinguals would be decent but I've never tried (and probably won't...quit cannabis for other reasons years ago. I was a very heavy user, 3-5 grams of concentrate dabbed a week).
- pipeline_peak 1y agoBecause of years of dabbing in my early 20’s (a lot of reckless high temp ones especially) my lungs are hyper sensitive to any sort of inhaling and I’ve been told by pulmonologists that I have asthmatic symptoms. I get chest pains from car exhaust,cig smoke, high fume cooking, cleaning products etc. so yeah…that’s why I seem so adamant on edibles. I only did sublingual rso which didn’t feel very euphoric. It does seem promising to people with Parkinson’s or anyone who wants medicinal benefits with minimal impairment.
- temp0826 1y agoAh wow, yah I understand that, I for sure torched my lungs a few times (ever been so high you forgot to put water in the dab rig...sigh). Was a smoker (tobacco) for about a decade as well but luckily have recovered from all that without any long term breathing related symptoms. I don't know how economical they are these days (or how loaded with sugar they might be) but the thc-infused drinks were nice when I gave them a go. Maybe the sublinguals were just too much cbd? I really liked rso capsules.
- pipeline_peak 1y agoI could give the drinks a try. The only caveat though is that I like to split them. Since those drinks contain some thc infused oil, I can’t imagine it would be evenly distributed well. The sublinguals actually had no cbd and they were medical grade.

- TimByte 1y agoYou'd think with all the tech and money going into this space by now we'd have something closer to a predictable, modular experience
- Kiro 1y ago> We’ve all been to those glass case dispensaries by now. No. I don't even know what this means. > The world of weed isn’t that new and exciting anymore, c’mon guys… I think it is. In my country it's illegal.
- danielbln 1y agoCalifornia/Colorado/Canada sometimes forget that they were blazing the trail (pun intended). Here in Germany it's only been legal since last year, and the novelty of hasn't worn off.
- lunaticlabs 1y agoAlso in Germany edibles aren’t legal, so we are stuck with smoking or self baking
- danielbln 1y agoSure they are. If you get a private (or public) prescription then you can happily buy oils and tinctures from pharmacies.
