So , just out of curiosity, as edibles or, indeed, any THC containing products are illegal in my country, someone explain what the strenghts and types of edibles there are.
Just as a hypothetical if someone was prescrided a ton of meds with unpleasent side effects they would help with pain, appitite and sleeping?

Maybe...if the person got the same basic relief from smoking pot.
I'm in Washington state. Here, edibles are limited to 10mg per "dose," although a package/bottle/whatever might have 100mg in it.
As for types...there are candies, cookies, brownies, soda-type drinks, then there are tinctures and topicals...and on and on and on...

here's the edibles menu from one of the pot stores in the tiny town where we live:

THC is easiest to attach to Fat, eg; butter, cream, etc. The strength of the edible depends on the amount and THC/CBD levels in the weed that was used.

The effects can take up to 2 hours to take effect depending on the amount of food in your system. Can they help with pain, appetite, and sleeping? Short answer: Yes.

< Makes weed butter every month with an Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker.

Any idea at what strengths are good for pain and sleeping without being too knocked off?

For pain you want a higher CBD mg number. Honestly some strains are better for sleep than others BUT your mileage WILL vary. I have friends that some strains are uppers and then other friends take the same strain and pass out. My thought is, if you can lower your pain with the higher CBD you should be able to relax and sleep more potentially.
Hypothetically that is!
But of course.

I find edibles to be better for me, easier to control dosage, and able to do a lower dosage than smoking, to just take the edge off, and not make me too high.

CBD edibles are legal here, just not the THC ones. Would the CBD only ones help with pain and sleep?

My issue is actually getting any THC content. I just wanted to know what to look for before attempting to get any!

I would think the edibles (from a legal store) would be labeled for CBD/THC content. If you're buying them from your corner dope dealer...who the fuck knows?

I don't like the shit...I don't like the taste, the smell, or the buzz...and it really doesn't seem to help much with the pain. I've smoked some high THC content weed, some that's about 50/50 THC/CBD, and tried CBD edibles with varying THC content...none worked much for the pains, and if they had enough THC for me to feel it...I didn't like that either.

I would say "results may vary".
THC + CBD is the way to go, IMO, preferably indica for pain and sleep. I've always had a terrible time falling back to sleep if I'm woken up in the night sometime, but indica-based products can actually help me get back to sleep.

Does making it in an instant pot remove the need to decarb?

Hmmm. Might get some CBD ones from a regular store and see how those go first.

From a hypothetical point of view it would be safer to find a supplier from somewhere where its leagal and get them to ship I guess?!

Take the next flight to Amsterdam. I'm not joking. Go and try for yourself.
Flights are a hundred quid via easyJet, Cardiff to Amsterdam.
Weed products are totally legal, zero risk. They also have hash which has even more of a relaxing effect. Hotels aren't super cheap but you wouldn't be paying more than the same getaway in the UK. And, you will be in a fairly interesting city.

EDIT: i didnt read the last posts. Ok well, it used to work for me, i cannot say for you. I CAN tell you that it takes some time to kick in, meaning, you need to be a user. Overnight probably won't do much, but over time ... you do get attune with your own body much more.

CBD just gave me a nice relaxed feeling, THC ones gave you more of a body buzz, better for pain but you need to watch the strength

Try it in 10mg increments, if it doesn't do anything eat another one but wait about 90 min first (assuming almost empty stomach)

/assuming you don't eat/smoke weed

Do you not know anyone that smokes weed?
I have mates a distance way I can get some weed from. Its just far and I kinda wanted to avoid smoking oR vaping (I guess theres always canabis garlic bread).
Its not hard to find in the local city, but its a small place and I deal with a lot of EXIVDUs at work and I dont particularly want to be in a position of treating a guy I bought weed off last week!

Yes and no. Again your mileage will vary on how it affects you. I do know that if you can get ones with just a small amount of THC in them it helps bind the CBD to the human cannaboid system.

2 runs through the Instant Pot in a glass jar. First just the ground up flower to decarb. Second with the melted butter added to infuse. Then you strain into smaller jars. If you want to make shelf stable run the strain jars in a Pressure Cooker only as the Instant Pot can't reach the correct pressure level for making it shelf stable.

Fair enough. Peanut butter or Nutella on graham crackers can do the trick too for a simple DIY edible, but dosing is kind of random that way.

Depending on what the "powers that be" will potentially do to you if you get caught this is most likely not even close to worth the risk. Local cops most likely won't give two craps about you smoking a joint in the park or at a concert, but importing illegal drugs into the UK ?!?

Yeah..... no.

Thank goodness weed is legal for both med and rec-use in Connecticut now. (plus I'm allowed to grow my own)

Meh. In that hypothetical situation I'd argue that the parcel was mislabelled and I knew nothing about it. The police are pretty chill about small amounts over here, I dont know why it isnt legalised tbh.

What they tend to do is wait until you sign for the package in question, then send in the "4chan party-van" guys en-masse lol.

Once that happens you can "tell it to the judge".... personally I'll pass.

I'm guessing whatever passes for the "US DEA" (Drug Enforcement Agency) in the UK takes it extremely seriously although admittedly they're not likely to come for you for a "personal use" quantity unless you've pissed somebody off in the past.

Better to avoid fvcking around and "finding out" IMO though!
