As America's Marijuana Use Grows, So Do the Harms

There is a delayed onset to the drug working. The more work you have to do the less likely you’ll have ingested a lot by the time you feel it. Edibles are a great example - countless stories of people doing too much because of the delay and not feeling it. We see similar with alcohol - places/events that are wine and beer only tend to have less intoxication than when shots are involved. And alcohol lasts longer and has a bigger delay than smoking cannabis.

Further, if your conjecture were universally true, then there shouldn’t be a market for concentrates (or the opposite, just do a tiny bit of concentrate). But that’s not what’s happening - people dabbing get so much higher it’s almost like a different drug… similar to crack vs cocaine.
