Hi everyone, noob here. I'm a retired 60 year in Canada who just started doing weed 2 yrs. ago after it was legalized. I've suffered from insomnia since I was a toddler, have been to multiple sleep schools (failed all) and been on almost every sleep med there is. Nothing works except benzos, which I don't want to take b/c they make me feel horrible. So I tried weed a few years ago and have been experimenting as I find it mostly works well. Issue for me is I have a bunch of heath issues and am looking for the right way to consume. Vaping works well, but I am a big guy and need about 10 draws to see an effect. I don't want that much smoke in my lungs. Edibles and oil are OK, but both take too long to kick in and last too long. When first trying them I didn't know what I was doing and because edibles/ingesting oil takes 4-6 hrs. to kick in, I overdid it and "greened" out, panicking. I've since figured out my mistake and now use a combo of vape and edibles. I was shocked that my doc was just fine with me using weed; he just recommended I stay away from vaping. Wasn't a big fan of my doc until he said it was fine, and "nobody dies from weed overdose." That reassured me. I will be hanging out trying to learn about dabbing I think. I hear I can get more THC in me with less smoke so I am interested in this. Sadly my first attempt with shatter was terrible as I got no smoke and just hot paste that stuck to my lip and burned me using a pen designed for dabbing. Clearly I did something wrong. Or I am an idiot. Or both. I joined the forum because I hope there are other old guys/ladies new to weed that are just learning as well. Thanks.
Edibles made with an infused coconut oil will take effect in 40-60 minutes. Only coconut oil (or MCT oil) will work that fast.
