A few things to add.

We vacationed for a weekend in San Diego and had a few hours unscheduled so we walked into a local dispensary. Not sure of what is happening in California but the tension of a non customer was intense. I told the receptionist that I was just seeking information, I did not want to put the dispensary in jeopardy but she just kept telling me to leave. We went into a less high profile area to a second dispensary and although the guy was nicer, the tension was still palpable.

I tried an edible called "Cheeba Chew." It was the size of a link of a large tootsie roll, soft like one. It was a quad dose which meant I cut the link in quarters.

Ingredients: sugar, corn syrup, soy oil, milk, coco, whey, flavoring and THC extract. It was peanut, tree nut and gluten free.

Tasted fine. Strong enough to give some relief and not strong enough to create any discomfort.

I have tried a few different strains in bud form in the vaporizer. The Pineapple is still the best so far in terms of how it makes me feel. I upped my dosage. I have been so conservative that upon review, it seemed as if I was saying I tried MMJ but with such a low amount, it really was not enough to truly medicate.

The negative with the vaporizer is no matter what, inhaling still makes me cough and affects my lungs as it did when I was a cigarette smoker. If I had the nicotine habit, I do not think the effects of the vaporizer would be an issue.

Edibles are okay. I am hoping to get enough to experiment and make my own sweets.
