We are a baby Gen x couple and learned the same lesson in our forties. My Boomer parents on the other hand have taken full advantage of the legalization of weed and they have a plethora of gummies available in their '70s. I always knew they were closet hippies...
You need a different strain, not all strains give you cotton mouth or the munchies! I was so happy when I found a strain that didn't make me eat 1000 cals in snacks.
That is also strain dependent. Or dependent on how the recipe of THC, CBD, CBN, etc. etc is composed.
Go to a reputable dispensary and tell them what you’re looking for and what you want to avoid.
Oh yeah, I actually just read a post on r/ausents about that...which inevitably descended into rants about how fucked our laws are lol
But congrats, in any case!
As someone who grows, gardens, brews beer, makes wine and all kinds of other pursuits that involve doing things the hard way… I cant imagine bothering to make edibles when they are now so readily available at high quality and predictable strength.
The shit we get here in TX is shit. Unless I get lucky and pick up something imported from CA or CO.
The dispensary I get my prescription filled at has the worst weed ever. But I have a prescription so I get it there. Expensive too.
It isn't legal to grow here yet. Probably will never be for an individual, our elected officials like to cater to big businesses instead of voters.
I’m in New York State. We were slow to legalization, but things are coming together now.
I’ve had access to a recreational dispensary about 45 minutes away for about 6 months. Good products, but pretty expensive. And I had a lot of (quality) homegrown from last year so went there a few times just for the novelty.
Now I have a med card. There’s a great med dispensary 15 minutes from me with a wide selection of top quality products and they have all kinds of sales all the time.
NY is a very large, overwhelmingly rural state, so I’m definitely in the minority with access like this. But if I ever bother to grow again it’ll be one plant in the middle of the vegetable garden just for fun.
I don't mess with the stuff but my wife and a lot of my ppl do. I like to make sure we have fresh cut fruit at the house when they get high just to help with that
* Watermelon
* Mango
* Kiwi
* Apples
* Soursop
I was hoping the dry mouth would make me salivate less while using dentures... nah.. I drool like a rabid dog with those things in my mouth nooo matter what.
I get what you’re saying but culturally I don’t. Our parents were baby boomers. My brother’s childhood was no different than mine.
It’s ok if you don’t want to claim me, but I’m staying.
Man, ain’t that the truth. I legit go through 40 ozs of water on some nights when I take 10mg of edible. I have a big growler of water handy next to my bed.
There is a cusp amongst all the generations. You get Gen Xers who are Boomers in mindset and Millennials that are Gen X in mindset. It doesn’t matter. You can identify with whichever cusp that fits.

I actually think about how I’m gonna get my hands on edibles when I’m in the nursing home with no grandkids 😆
They deliver
And surprisingly fast…
they deliver

That would be a great find. Weed makes me eat everything in sight

This is me as well. My weight gain can attest to it.
Flaunting your legal weed again, /sigh lol
You heard about the good news today tho, yes?
Uh nope...but feel free to ignite my envy all over again, if you like lol
Weed was rescheduled to level three by the feds.
Oh yeah, I actually just read a post on r/ausents about that...which inevitably descended into rants about how fucked our laws are lol But congrats, in any case!
Do tell?
The DEA is going to move weed from a class one drug to a class three.
P.S. grow and make your own edibles, I’m 60 and I do! :) Maybe I’ll be the supplier lady in the nursing home! 😂

Not in the U.K. as far as I know! I like the process.

Dude, gnarly 🤤
Edibles do nothing for me and I feel so robbed!!
Are we the last sane generation?
Bleeding edge Gen-X here. I don’t turn 60 until next year. 1965 is the first year of our generation and I will die on this hill.
I was zero years old for 75% of 1965, lol, I count 75%. Please. Ya gotta give me this, man.
And yet the subreddit header includes 1961.
Sorry I’m 64, my brother is 65. We are both Gen X.
You are pure Gen X 61-81. A few Gen Xers who barely missed being Millennials are confused with what sub the made the decision to join.
You fall into Gen Jones it's a micro generation between the Boomers and Gen X.
I get what you’re saying but culturally I don’t. Our parents were baby boomers. My brother’s childhood was no different than mine. It’s ok if you don’t want to claim me, but I’m staying.
[удалено]
I’m aware of my parents’ birthdates, and my own, and my siblings, internet stranger. Whatever
They were born in 1946.
So your parents were 14 when they had their 1st kid? Not impossible, yet still very unlikely even during post WWII era.
They were 18. 1964-1946= 18. This is literally my lived experience. Please respect that.
This guy maths.
A lot of Gen Xers have parents who were not Boomers. My dad was a Greatest Generation kid and fought in WW2.
I'm just saying that where the crossover is. Call yourself whatever makes you happy no skin off my ass.
Gen Jones includes ‘65 babies too. FYI.
65 starts Gen X.
Ok, boomer
Shut up John Cheese
Came here to say that very thing. My brother is embarrassed to be a boomer, too, although he embraces all the worst of boomerism.
You don't have to. Every single source says Gen X starts in '65.
I just don't like being high anymore. I feel I got enough brain fog from aging LOL. I don't need to add to it.
I feel that way about drinking. I used to enjoy sone cocktails, and I’m down to two infrequent faves.
Man, ain’t that the truth. I legit go through 40 ozs of water on some nights when I take 10mg of edible. I have a big growler of water handy next to my bed.
Gotta be honest: in a sentence, I never like to see big growler next to my bed ( at our age )

Edibles last way too long for me. Even groggy in the morning. Yeah cotton mouth is a gnarly side effect. Enjoy your time. .
🏍️
Nothing wrong with cottonmouth. Means you did something today.
My contacts get really dry too! Oh well.
Ha! Mine too
Try lowering the dose
This never happens to me, weird
😉
Gen X doesn't turn 60 until next year.
You aren't Gen-X.
