This might sound really stupid (be gentle) but I wonder if some of the risks of directly and forcefully inhaling cannabis vapour can be attenuated by kind of sucking into one’s cheek rather than directly unmediated the normal way and then indirectly sort of vaguely breathing it indirectly.

Any thoughts? I feel like it can’t be that easy or it just doesn’t work that way…

    My wife and I make pot brownies all the time. As long as you know the dosage in your cannabutter you can deliberately choose how much to put in. If you make them the same way twice then by that point you know how big of a piece to cut to get a specific dose.

    The other person is right when it comes to taking doses from edibles you get elsewhere with differing dosage amounts, or if you have poor self control or something, but edibles can totally be a primary way of ingestion, it’s just harder to learn proper dosage than inhalation, for instance, you can easily make edibles too weak instead of too strong if you want to be careful, they’re not always too strong and youre not always bound by God to eat too much, just be careful and not impulsive. You can always wait and eat more, you can’t eat less.

      I should try to buy some edibles, I refuse smoking anything, finding it nasty, but am curious to try cannabis.

      A friend gave me a couple of “green” cookies once which I put in a away for the next day but then they were gone. My wife told me my mother in law had eaten them for breakfast not knowing what is was. They seemed to work really well, she almost smiled at me once that day.

        It’s worth a shot, just make sure you don’t do anything crazy high dosage unless you’ve got the weight to make the tolerance higher. Don’t eat anything beforehand, it’ll make the effects more predictable, usually takes at least a half hour for it to start digesting in earnest, and it’d be good to have someone there to help out, just in case.
