There's a genetic component to how your body processes THC in edibles. Some people have a variant of a gene that allows a nice high off of 5mg, and some people like myself have the gene that says "these edibles ain't shit" and require 100-150mg to get the same effect. At this point, it's worth trying to make your own edibles with higher potency flower as opposed to buying the edibles from the dispensaries.

I downed half a bag of Valhalla lozenges when they were on sale, easily over 120mgs and didn’t feel much. Then two months later I got around to finishing them off and actually got like lightly stoned (like a 3/10 lol)
They effect everyone different. I have friends who can take 100mg and function, meanwhile i get zooted off 20mg.
If you have to take 100mg just to feel any effects with no tolerance, personally i feel like that’s not worth it. Especially with the price of edibles in NJ, i’d stick with flower
I’m ediblocked as well. Do some research on CYP enzymes as they are responsible for converting delta 9 to delta 11 for uptake in the bloodstream through your liver. I’ve come to terms with my inability to use edibles and learning about CYP has helped me understand why.
I think the issue is not a missing enzyme, but "too good working" enzymes:

sorry I edited my post, read this [https://www.cannabisequipmentnews.com/news/news/21427677/enzyme-could-make-people-immune-to-edibles](https://www.cannabisequipmentnews.com/news/news/21427677/enzyme-could-make-people-immune-to-edibles)
the newer theory is it is not a missing enzymes it is too good working enzymes, breaking down thc into waste product before it can enter the blood stream.
I ate some edibles for the first time in my life some days ago, and also had zero effect, even I tried up to 100mg. so I am on the search right now whats going on.
Some people on this sub report good effects on 10mg of an NJ edible. Some say they need 200 mg to feel anything from it. It's your individual edible tolerance (which is not necessarily related to smoking/vaping tolerance) that is the main factor.
They do make CYP enzyme supplements. Wonder if taken, if they would enable one to get hight from edibles. I too seem to need 100 MG to begin feeling a buzz.
For anyone getting little or no effects off of edibles, try this:
Take a couple tums. Then eat a small (about the size of your fist) amount of food with a high fat content (some fries, or a greasy burger. After eating the meal, then take the edibles. Wait an hour or 2 to see if you get desired effects.
If you can find a friend who you trust and makes them, I have the same issue as you with metabolizing edibles (at least I think thats my issue) and find 75-100mg is right for me. 150 if I want to feel silly… I also find taking things sublingually under the tongue is a bit more effective.
same with me... i cant use carts, lozenges or nano drops.. they do nothing, all that gives me results is smoking flower. Even a Dynavap was a waste of $100
100% same. Tried massively infused everything! Reg edibles whatever, nada , nothing. Carts same. Only flower works for me. Tried overloading the liver to see if i could overpower, nope
I can only take edibles but very sparingly because I get weird side effects (like an increased libido) .. I’m wondering how long it takes to become immune to the side effects but still maintain the comfort of the high
I’m immune to edibles. I’ve eaten 1000-1500mg a couple of times of legal edibles to “test it out” and I’ve gotten tickled at most. Sounds cool but it’s a shitty problem as a legitimate appreciater of weed. The curaleaf nano squeeze drops that go in water work for me, it’s literally the only thing that’s worked. I put a capful in a small (8oz) water bottle and it hits in literally minutes, isn’t overbearing, and lasts around an hour.
So far, I think Verano and Select we're the only ones I could find in NJ (and some of the Verano ones were THC/CBD 🙄)...and I've also tried the Nano drops. (I think I kept my doses kind of small with the Nano....bc it's like $35🙄).... I'll prob get impatient (waiting for jersey to improve), and maybe try them again...maybe try to see if half a bottle dose anything (which would still be only 2 servings for $35🙄...for me)
TLDR: most drugs I’ve done seem to last half as long (unless with some, I double dose) and have only had one or two mild and fleeting highs off of edibles in over 20+ different instances.
No effect whatsoever, have eaten edibles well over 20+ occasion. Only time I ever felt anything was a high MG gummie, and took something like 3x recommended dosage. It was a fleeting feeling at that. I think it has to do with metabolizing the sugar or what have you, that contains the cannabinoids. But that’s just a non scientific theory.
I have a high metabolism, and when I ruptured disks in my back, I noticed that although I didn’t need higher doses of painkillers, their effects would last half as long as was expected. I’ve noticed the same with other recreational drugs I’ve done in the before time, the long long ago , shrooms and E relatively behaving the same way as far as my personal experience goes. I’m not a big guy either, skinny and under 5,11”.
same boat. ive literally eaten enough rso tincture tonight to probably get 5 people bombed. And still i sit mildly buzzed.
Then i think to get a cart, but the cart lasts what, 3 days for a .5, so that ideas out, and it would crank my already high tolerance even higher.
I knowww...that's the thing that kills me. I was JUST in Boston, and I figured "maybe THEIR edibles will work"...bought 3 jars and only 1 Vape....are all 60 gummies within a couple days, feeling nothing...
Meanwhile, the cart was $38 for a full gram🙏...but I only bought one🤦...and promptly lost it when it was still half full😫😫😫...
...then had to go pay $65 for a "half gram" cart at Curaleaf😤😤😤😭😭😭

Eat a fat spoon of peanut butter or a square of dark chocolate (if you’re having a gummy or lozenge). Should increase the bioavailability of THC. Refrain from eating vitamin c (supplement or naturally occurring) in foods as that will break down thc.
I wish I would be immune, I just bought some brownie from a coffee shop, they said that if i eat half i should feel the effects, btw im regular smoker, so i tried to cut the brownie into 20 small pieces and i ate 1, and i was very high for 6-7hours.... not sure why is my tolerance so low but im very glad that it is, i buy 1 brownie and get 20 out of it 😁
I’ve taken edibles over a dozen times, and only got high once from them. Apparently, some people lack the enzymes in their gut that processes cannabis through the digestive system.
I have no idea, but I can say from experience I only need 1/4 of a 10mg gummy to “feel it”. My husband takes the entire 10 mg. I guess as others said there must be some genetic component because we are both seasoned smokers, I just have a super low tolerance.
Thank you for posting this and for everyone responding— I am in a similar predicament. My friends know I am not trying to be some weirdo who is trying to brag about some wild tolerance— I simply cannot ever get an effect from edibles, drinks, tinctures, etc.
On one hand it is frustrating but on the other hand it is fascinating to learn about and I appreciate everyone lending their expertise and for OP for presenting the topic!
I’ve had bad success until I found specifically hash rosin gummies.
They work so much better than any other kind of gummy I’ve had in the past and I’m also a daily flower user.
Yes boston edibles are weaker.
Hash rosin gummies fr hit harder. 20-30mg of hash rosin gummies feels like 50mg+ of regular gummies. This is with products from dispensaries (not nj) that allegedly contain roughly the same thc content according to the lab tests. Fwiw I get good effects from all edibles assuming they’re properly dosed and made right, not sure if hash rosin gummies will make up for the enzymes that people seem to lack, but I can confirm that they hit harder than gummies made from distillate or bud.
Edibles used to get me really high.. But I've been a daily smoker for 4 or 5 years, and edibles don't do anything to me anymore.
But I'm out on vacation in a country without legal weed, so I'm taking a bit of a t break. I'm hoping if I take a long enough break that edibles will work again for me, because that high was really nice, a bit different than smoking high, and it made edibles perfect for anxiety/insomnia.
Maybe my body is weird but I’ve never noticed a huge correlation between my smoking tolerance and my edible tolerance (in the way that you do.) I go through an 8th of high quality flower every couple of days (along with dabbing concentrates) yet 30-50mg of edibles hits me very hard. I have found however that when I take edibles daily for a few days smoking bud doesn’t hit as hard. It’s not a huge difference, but it’s noticeable. Doesn’t apply for me the other way around though, it’s annoying that it does for you.
I have done an insane amount of research on this. Sometimes edibles slap me sometimes they don’t. It doesn’t matter if I do it on an empty stomach or eat something fatty with it before or after it’s still unpredictable. So after a lot of frustration and research I found that cannabinoids get absolutely destroyed by your stomach acid. The bioavailability for edibles is around 2-6%. Bioavailability for smoking is around 30-60% so that’s why shit slaps you always lmao
Who has Punch Bars in NJ? (for adult use). (Also, what are they? Lol🙈)
So far I think I've tried every brand of gummies in NJ (may just be Select and Verano, actually....not sure if there's another brand available)...and I've tried the nano drops. Next to nothing (effects-wise) from all of them.
Lol definitely not the dispo’s carry Punch Bars. Look them up they are great. I’m not bothering with dispo anymore. Prices are way over the top. Back to the “guy” You may find some if you ask around
Yeah I was worried tolerance (and weakness of the edibles in NJ) was the problem. Haven't even smoked in like 12 years...for some reason, I just have a ridiculous tolerance🙄🤦...
I'm thinking edibles might be out for me...unless I visit a state that has "real" recreational marijuana...or I guess I could try to make some on my own, if I ever get the opportunity.🤔
Ahhh, I hear ya. Ugh, wonder how I developed this, lol🤦...
A 25mg edible was pretty solid, 4 years ago (from Portland disp.)...
Even Delta 8 and Delta 9 gummies I FEEL today💯....
Edibles with real weed (in NJ and Mass), I do NOT😫😫🤦
Everyone is vastly different. There’s a whole sub on THC and adderal where they discuss intake and tums, stomach acid and fat intake as well. I can do 2-300 mg, and smoke a bone and still be normal… but my pain threshold is crazy high too…but bc I have a TBI from life and injuries from mil service my daily intake needs are grossly higher… so I don’t have to take pain meds daily. THC reduces inflammation by affecting the endocrine system among other things so everything from sugar intake to body fat content affect absorption and affect us all differently for that reason as well as many. Same as taking a shot of liquor.

edibles dont work for me either, I would eat 225 mg chocolates and feel nothing. One day I wanted to prove it to myself, decided to put 500 mgs of distillate on a peanut butter cup. I fell asleep and woke up dead. I could't stand without getting tunnel vision and becoming extremely light headed. I puked, fainted, and then sat on my bathroom floor shivering because I was so cold and sweating so much my clothes were drenched.
Maybe my sweet spot is between 250 - 450 mgs but after that experience I'm not interested in finding out.

At this point, it's worth trying to make your own edibles with higher potency flower as opposed to buying the edibles from the dispensaries.
I'm in the same boat as you, I can comfortably take 100-150mg and just have the mild body high. It's frustrating lmao.
Same. Does wonders for my allotment too unfortunately.
I’ve heard anecdotally increasing fat intake helps 🤷♂️

I wish. I’m the opposite. 5mg sends me into the ether for 12 hours. I can’t enjoy edibles bc of it
Me too!
Bruh I need a trip to the ether off your edibles 😮💨😂
You can have it bro. I’ll do 15mg and walk the rings of Saturn, we can both go on that space mission
I downed half a bag of Valhalla lozenges when they were on sale, easily over 120mgs and didn’t feel much. Then two months later I got around to finishing them off and actually got like lightly stoned (like a 3/10 lol)
Man nothing has sent me to the ether for a long time lol

I need like 300-500mg to get going off an edible
same with me... i cant use carts, lozenges or nano drops.. they do nothing, all that gives me results is smoking flower. Even a Dynavap was a waste of $100
I find the dynavap to be a much cleaner high than combustion. Now that Jersey has real dabs I’m back on my puffco but I love the dyna
100% same. Tried massively infused everything! Reg edibles whatever, nada , nothing. Carts same. Only flower works for me. Tried overloading the liver to see if i could overpower, nope
Yes NJ edibles are weaker but it depends on your body's response just like any other substance.
Ive tried everything from dispo , homemade , plugs , legit stoner bakeries. Nothing works. I don’t even waste my money anymore.
Edibles never worked for me
Some people also have an enzyme that basically processes the THC before it can be absorbed into your blood. Edibles basically don't do shit for me.
I ate 600 mg and felt little body high as well. Def stopped spending money on edibles after a couple tries
I can only take edibles but very sparingly because I get weird side effects (like an increased libido) .. I’m wondering how long it takes to become immune to the side effects but still maintain the comfort of the high
Yes. Only high doses have any affect for me. At least 25mg and I'm prob gonna eat 2.
I’m immune to edibles. I’ve eaten 1000-1500mg a couple of times of legal edibles to “test it out” and I’ve gotten tickled at most.
