I am 75 y/o, I came back to cannabis this pass year after over 40 years of not smoking! I had to relearn how to smoke due to the long abstinence. I have the usual problems of a senior person (aches, pain, insomnia and PTSD and the Gummies helped, worked for a while; the Hemp flower worked for a while as well before I switched to Cannabis. I switched to cannabis because Hemp flower is very expensive, cannabis at the medical dispensary is so much cheaper! From time to time, I mix the Hemp and Cannabis for effect, I don't get "high" but it feels like a warm blanket placed over me!? Now the first months the Cannabis hit me very hard to the point I didn't like the feeling, I literally had to crawl down the steps! Eventually that part of the high would wear away and I would feel just fine. But lately the first hit gives me a buzz that last for about 2 hours (very mellow feeling but not intoxicated) and then I smoke again, and I feel nothing? I only smoke in the evening and it helps with insomnia, pain, stiffness. I have used multiple types of cannabis as one of the suggestions is to switch strains but I'm not a heavy smoker at least I don't think I am!? I see on YouTube people smoking entire grams and more in one hit? am I not taking enough? Some folks smoke all day for years and get stoned every time so what is wrong with me, would like to learn to manage this to full effect, so suggestion will be so appreciated. Also, I only use Indica or high indica Hybrids.
This is rather common. I hear it often. The thing is I don't hear it from light users. I don't smoke much anymore because of COPD so I use edibles. You might find a more constant high for a longer time. Oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies are my main go to. It might take an hour to come on but the high can last all day. Just have a smoke while you are waiting the hour out. You'll probably be so stoned you won't notice the change in the high when the cookie comes on. Sorry to ramble on but I've been eating cookies.
Thank you for your suggestion, I still have a lot of gummies, but I've never taken the 2 back-to-back, I wasn't sure I could handle it. Towards the end of my gummy phase I would take a maximin of 2 gummies and I wouldn't take more, I use the Neurogen brand 100mg CBD and 10mg of THC.
I'm not really a very good one for you to take advice from because I'm a very heavy hitter for my aches and pains. I wouldn't want you to OD and sick.
I just read something within the last few days about people that don't get high, or at least not that easily. If you are short on Omega-3 that may be the problem. I have to do some study on that because I just can't remember.. If I remember right it came from Granny @Storm Crow and if she said if you can take it to the bank.
I wanted to add that a lot of people only pay attention to thc content. But as we all learned that isn't the case. Terpenes and other cannibanoids also effect us in different ways. Heck there might be even more stuff we don't know about.
