At one point I did an improvised extraction of THC into olive oil. I significantly underestimated what 0.5g of weed contains when the majority is not wasted by burning it.

Trying any drugs at random at a concert without someone who's real about dose and expectations is kind of...well, a bad idea in general.

Those 20mg gummies tend to state each gummy is 2-4 servings, at least mine do. It's why the previous source I bought from sold her Delta-8 gummies dosed to 5mg each to make it far easier to nail an exact dose.

But, I also see absurd 600mg mixed THC (10% D-9, 90% D-8) ones that say "start by taking (quarter|half) of a gummy and wait several hours before trying any more" and like... that's irresponsible as hell to phrase, but I think the expectation is -- given them labeled "maximum strength" -- is that you know what you're good for before digging into those.

I don't know what the happy medium here is on labeling and access, as I agree on the Everclear thing, but you do have to go into a store for that at least. And, to be fair, Everclear tastes like such ass even mixed with anything it has to be diluted down to like, wine strength to be drinkable generally from what I've seen, or at least cocktail strength.

Exactly why this shit is age restricted. Hopefully by 21 you have any sense of critical thinking and self preservation and know that drugs and alcohol should be taken in moderation. If you dont know what moderation is, ask some one, or google it. Or start slow and figure out what your line is.

Be a grown up.

Surely you could have googled to see a starter dose is 5-10mg.

And here I gave up on edibles after eating way more than recommended and not getting the slightest buzz, I'll stick to flower and hash

Canada seems to be doing this right. Legal edibles can't have more than 10mg and the packaging is so hard to open for children. Also the packaging is very distinct and impossible to be confused with regular food.
