100 MG Edible Cannabis Edible Variables
Type of Cannabinoids in Edible
Tolerance
Smoking marijuana and ingesting marijuana can be very different acts. Some people might be able to smoke all day but when they eat a 5 MG edible, be out for a weed nap. Some people might be able to smoke joints all day but can’t handle 10 MG. It all depends on your personal tolerance. As well as how long and how frequently you personally eat edibles.
Absorption
Metabolism
Everyone single person’s cannabinoid metabolisms are different! There is a special enzyme called CYP3A4. This enzyme controls the body’s ability to absorb these cannabinoids. This is why some people can take very little cannabis edibles and feel really high, while some can eat a whole 100 MG edible and feel very little.

What is Comparable to a Cannabis Edible?
Adam Damon on Facebook said:
“I try to compare it to alcohol since most people have drank way too much at one point. Even though being way to drunk and way too high are different experiences, I feel it can be relatable in terms of having control over your body.”
- Bowl = a couple of beers.
- Dab = a couple of Jack and Cokes.
- A high dose edible for a newbie = whatever amount of shots that would make you say, “I never want to do that many shots again lol.”
