As has been mentioned before, start slow. You can get a box of mints that are 2.5 or 5.0 mg each. Take one mint a couple hours before bedtime and see how it works and go from there. I’ve heard that especially with your standard edibles, it doesn’t matter, and talking with the people at the dispensary, they seem to say with your standard edibles, they may as well be the same. THC is THC. I’ve done “indica” and “sativa” and “hybrid” edibles, and they’re all the same exact high with me. Now, there’s THC-CBD blends – that might be a little bit of a difference. Supposedly live resin edibles or stuff that preserves the terpenes can make a difference, but it’s so difficult separating fact from lore when it comes to cannabis. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/considerations-re-trying-marijuana-again-after-many-years-what-are-the-issues/986041)._
