Gummies

Hey everybody I was looking for some information or clarity on my situation. So two different times I’ve tried Gummies the first time I took one nothing happened. I waited an hour took another. Nothing happened, next day did the same thing same result. About a month later I bought some more and this time I took three at once and felt nothing they’re from a dispensary. I know they’re good because I gave them to my buddy and they worked on him. Now I’ve heard some people don’t have enzymes in the liver to digest the THC and that could be why I don’t feel anything. I don’t know if that’s BS or if any of you ever heard of that or deal with it yourselves really I’m just curious as to why or if there’s any tips of how to make them work. Appreciate y’all.

Yeah you’re missing an enzyme in your liver.I’ve known a few people who can’t get high off of edibles ✌️

It’s a thing apparently. I have 2 friends who simply can’t process them in a way that gets them high.

It's really a thing for some people not to feel them.

I can eat 100mg gummies without feeling a thing.

Try eating them with a source of fat. Individuals on low fat diets or just dont have a lot of fat available sometimes don’t feel edibles. This was my case now I eat a spoon full of pb with my edibles and I feel them great. But you are not alone and for some even fat does not help. Hope it does for you.

Probably a dumb question, but do you eat the peanut butter and edibles at the same time or do you eat one first like the peanut butter to get the liver going. If you do eat them separate, how long should I wait in between?

I usually eat them together…..or the peanut butter first….like 10 min before the edible.

Some people don’t have the necessary enzymes to process effectively you may also have a low bioavailability from edibles and may be on the lower end. I would suggest to eat something with high fat to aid with absorption such as a tablespoon of peanut butter(16 grams of fat), a shot of olive oil(tastes weird but delivers 14-15 grams of fat so it is preety effective) or Amy other jigh fat foods with 10-20 grams of fat. Studies show that high fat can increase bioavailability by 2-3 fold.

Thanks! Have me something to work with. Fingers crossed

Also make sure to do the fat before the edible if you’re gonna do peanut butter eat it and then wait 30-60 minutes before taking the edible.

Meigs county usually has pretty good weed. Sorry man.

u/See_ya_joe 1d ago

It is what it is. I do like their weed. It’s just the gummy‘s didn’t do anything.

I've bought gummies from local makers, state dispensaries and foreign companies. They do nothing for me. Anybody that tells you that they get massively high from gummies is full of nonsense.
