Members responded to concerns about feeling uncomfortably high from marijuana edibles used for pain management, with several suggesting that the out-of-control sensation likely means the THC dose is too high and should be reduced, or that switching to less potent products or different strains might provide relief without the unwanted side effects. Several members shared practical strategies they use successfully, including mixing THC with CBD for better balance, microdosing by adding tiny pinches of ground edibles to food or drinks throughout the day, vaporizing flower and using the leftovers in food, or smoking rather than eating cannabis to better control the effects. A recurring theme was that everyone's body responds differently to marijuana, with some members thriving on THC-rich products for pain and sleep while others cannot tolerate THC at all due to individual brain chemistry, past concussions, or risk of psychosis, emphasizing the importance of finding the right strain, method, and dose through careful experimentation.
