Edibles and other forms of consumption often don't have all the same compounds in them. Marijuana has a lot of stuff in it and many of these compounds aren't fully understood yet.

In college, I liked smoking up from time to time if someone offered. I'd get incredibly high and have a great time. Now that it's legal here in Canada I thought "why not try some THC chocolate?". I ordered it online, had a piece and waited.

It sucked. The bar contained THC and a little bit of CBD and nothing else. I didn't really get the kind of high I remember enjoying in college, just a light buzz and felt sleepy. Honestly the best part was the chocolate, which was super high quality.

I still haven't tried smoking pot again. But I suspect I would have a much better time if I did.
