If you eat a well-prepared cannabis confection:
* It takes longer to get going (1.5 hours or more if your stomach is full
* It lasts longer (4-6 hours noticeable effects, longer for subtle effects)
* You get all you paid for (no blowing out smoke. It's IN YOU!)
I find the musical enhancements last a loong time (something I value heavily)
I find the non-aural sensual effects are still there 8 hours later (morning-after brownie stoner sex is awesome!!)
Without moderation (amount, frequency), tolerance will still reduce the 'high'
Couch-lock, flop-out, shivers/spasms, paranoid thoughts are still a hazard
Fascinating, insightful, honest, funny, divergent mentation are a delightful benefit.
Every batch is different (I don't grow my own)
Disclosure: I hate to smoke. I love to eat (and cook).
