That amount, thats how you make a living huh? I would love to be able to do that on that scale. Dont even like smoking anymore but I love the entire process of going from seed to a good mother and then taking clones.

Yes it is! I started working here right at 21 and I'm on my 7th year with the company! I'm in a relatively new market so there's a lot of ground work to be done to set us up for the decades to come.
So many of these phenotypes will eventually get the axe after testing. It usually takes at least 2 crop cycles to vet these new genetics before we produce them on a regular production cycle.
Seeing the various gene expressions within one pack of seeds is definitely part of the fun!

Took a 5mg gummy last night (after eating mind you, not empty stomCh) which is my usual dosage. Sometimes I get higher than others but nothing of note.
Last night it hit HARD. So hard I had to go to bed and I stumbled on the way. I got the spins pretty bad and I kept forgetting what I was doing. Even laying down I had the spins and was nauseous. I was the highest Ive ever been.
My question really is how tightly controlled is edible manufacturing ? I feel like I got a gummy that was 2-3x as strong as the others. It kind of scared me because of the nausea and spinning.

I'm a big fan of the THC seltzers. 5mg THC and 10mg of CBD is great for watching a movie, and I can easily drink one or two more if I want to go deeper. I also sleep like a corpse afterwards.
A friend of mine bought all the stuff to grow 6ish plants in a spare bedroom, and he brought over some seeds. We tossed a handful that we thought weren't any good into one of my tomato planters at the end of the summer, and of course one sprouted. Once it was clear it was female, I brought it over to his place to finish the grow, and we're just started enjoying the harvest.

I've never understood the people who can do a full 5MG. Maybe I'm just a lightweight, but I'll usually just take a small bite of a 5mg gummy on a Friday or Saturday night to chill and watch a weird horror or sci-fi movie (one of my favorite things to do, for some reason). I'm normally not a fan of horror movies, but the trippier the movie when I'm high, the better.
I'll usually take one hit of a vape pen if I want to just game and chill to music, but gummies seem to work better for the longer lasting, "slow rolling" high that I like for movies.

Did you buy these from a medical or Recreational dispensary? The regulations and practices vary between them even if they exist in the same state. Unfortunately, the MA market is going through enormous turmoil right now due to several factors including greedy mismanagement by the state Government. So I would not be surprised if there was a quality control incident that slipped through their system.
In a perfect world every market should have a strict testing protocol for batches of edibles, which are made in bulk and then packaged accordingly. Were they THC only edibles? or did they have any additional compounds like Delta 8, Delta 9 or Soy Lecithin? Soy Lecithin is a compound added into edibles to allow the THC and its variations to pass through the Blood Brain Barrier at an exponential rate WITH a stronger onset.
The market I am employed in, the tolerance for error on edibles is razor thin. We're talking a batch of edibles had to be entirely destroyed because the formulation for the oil infusion would have had edibles that were only .5MG extra per dose.
I would try cutting a gummy in half and staying hydrated if you want to keep using that batch of edibles. Also check the ingredient list, there may be an added Terpene that your nervous system is rejecting.

Being able to.. or... rather needing to eat more than 5MG is a curse. As someone who can only feel it around 100MG, (Fairly certain I have the freak gene that prevents your liver from breaking down the THC effectively when eaten), I can say It's not cost effective and you can absolutely wake up high the next day.

Thanks bro
I'll check the ingredients BUT I have been ordering this brand and type of gummies for over a year now. I've had a few cases where I felt a gummy was stronger than advertised but this was extremely bad. So much so I've considered tossing the rest.
It's a recreational facility and they're made in-house. So my first thought was quality control there.
As far as handling 5mg not sure what to say. I'm 6'2, 225 and it just seems to be the magic dose that works for me n

I can personally vouch for Zoap! I have run 2 separate breeding programs with that cultivar, it has a solid and stabilized genetic profile with a very unique terpene profile, very fun to work with in a controlled setting. Granted you won't get the full flavor profile from edibles.
Thank you for sharing your experience as a consumer/customer especially showing the fancy packaging/marketing I am currently prohibited from using. I rarely get to see the industry wide feedback from people who aren't full on stoners or Instagram shills.

I have been smoking pot pretty regularly since I was about 15 I think. Nowadays, it's my only vice. I gave up cigarettes and alcohol at around 25.
