Lua brewing introduces THC/CBD beverage

Anyone who doesn't like the psychoactive part of weed needs to try delta-8. If anyone has problems sleeping they need to try this.
I'm a rookie with all of this and have started taking 10mg gummies for sleep per a friend. Can you give me some more info.

The gummies seem to do pretty well.. And for the most part have gotten me off ambien, thankfully.

This article explains it better than I could ever do. It's doesn't make you nervous and paranoid like weed can, but it will relax you and have all the same painkilling type effects that smoking weed will. I honestly think it puts me to sleep better than regular weed does. You can get it in gas stations or just about anywhere in states that sell it(Missouri does for sure). Get the disposable vapes/battery instead of the edibles. They'll run you like 40$ for a gram. That's great you got off ambien. I used to take that myself. I apologize if the link goes behind a paywall.

I have zero experience with these types of products. This afternoon, I drank a can of the 2.5 mg THC and felt nothing. I did drink it extremely slowly over the course of two hours since I had no experience. I have a high tolerance for alcohol and drink daily although I’m not sure that plays a part here.

I didn’t really like the Orange Mango taste but it wasn’t offensive.

Try a 5. Those work pretty well for me. I usually finish mine within 30 min

Even the 10's don't do anything for me.

Apparently eating something fatty while consuming edibles/thc drinks will also help. You’d think any empty stomach would make the effects more potent when it’s actually the exact opposite.

I had a 5MG Climbing Kite last night on an empty stomach, and it came on fairly quick. I had 2 beers afterwards, and it was perfect for a Thursday night canning salsa with some friends. Ate supper after we got done and then went to bed.

I don't understand how someone could have a 10 and feel nothing. I wouldn't want any more than I had with the single 5.

Same, I know people who stay put at 2.5mg edibles because even 5 is too much. They also do not have a tolerance built up.
 
Not sure how accurate this info is, but it makes sense. Some people might just not have livers that are capable of metabolizing THC.


In most people, the liver actually metabolizes THC into a more psychoactive molecule, 11-hydroxy-THC. This metabolite is often thought to be more potent than the original THC. For this reason, a high from an edible is often stronger and more incapacitating than your average bong hit.

For some people, however, this may not be the case. It is speculated that many people have genetic variations that may make them more or less efficient in breaking down drugs like THC. Some people may not always convert high levels of THC into its more active form.

These people may not experience the psychoactive effects of edibles. Inhaled consumption methods, like smoking and vaporization, are likely preferable to these people.

Everyone metabolizes it differently. A friend of mine can't take edibles because the effects don't show up until the next morning, and that's obviously less than ideal

Yeah, it's wild what the difference is. I won't take edibles anymore because they just aren't pleasant. I just get anxious and it feels very uncomfortable.

Some people think it's the greatest thing ever. I vastly prefer the feeling of alcohol, but the negative side effects are much worse, physically.

This is where I've gotten to with edibles as well. - Although I rarely drink anymore at all.

It’s all over the board from what it sounds like. I don’t get physical side effects from it. I’m honestly pretty lucky that this stuff isn’t habit forming for me because my first experience was probably the most relaxed I’d ever felt in a very long time. Although, I’m introverted by default, so being anchored to a chair or sofa on a Saturday night listening to music is no problem for me at all.

Alcohol does have an advantage over THC edibles in that it’s much easier to sober up from. I don’t know if they advertise it as such, but it’s not a drink that you can consume socially and expect to be able to drive away from a restaurant or house party a few hours later.

But that’s why marijuana legalization is so important… the taboo needs to be erased because there’s so much misinformation out there on both sides of the legalization debate that will lead to more people getting hurt while it continues to be cast aside on the federal level.
 
5 I feel it, 10 I’m ripped. Did 50 once and was seeing things.
Was curious of edible OD amount, looks like 10,600 5mg gummies so be careful, you were only 10,590 away:

"For THC, there are varying figures, ranging from 1,260 milligrams of THC per kilogram of body weight down to 666 mg/kg. Even going with the lowest figure, a 175-pound man would have to consume more than 53 whole grams of pure THC all at once. And pure THC isn't something you are going to find in even the purest shatter oils and waxes produced. If we're talking commercially produced edibles, then you would probably die from an overdose of salt (3,000 mg/kg) or sugar (1,100 mg/kg) before even coming close to the threshold for marijuana."
 
Not exactly related but sort of. Did anyone see the Despensary place posted this message? Wonder what happened.

I think this is the Lua owner on reddit

This is right, but needs more context because 0.3% THC is very, very high and allows for plenty of THC to be included. All those gummies and edibles are less than 0.3% THC. For instance, our Climbing Kites are well below 0.3% THC. In fact, our 10mg seltzer is .003% THC, meaning we could legally make 1000mg THC seltzers in Iowa. We won’t, because that’s way too much (10mg is too much for me), but that 0.3% doesn’t carry near the weight you’re implying. It’s not really any restriction at all.

ETA: hemp products are still illegal in Iowa if they are intended to be inhaled (i.e. smoked). There are plenty of products out there that are probably illegal because of that.
 
This stuff works.
Good to hear. We were at Big Grove tonight, and I saw that they had it on sale. I bought a 4 pack of the 5mg cans. Looking forward to giving it a try
