I used to think that I couldn't get high from edibles too, and then I realized that I just need 100x the dose. Most edibles have about 10mg of THC in them, so as a daily smoker/vaper I never got anything out of them either. And then I tried a 1000mg chocolate bar from the dispensary and I definitely felt that. I got a nice four hour high out of that one.

The other thing is that the effects of edibles are a lot more subtle. When smoked/vaped, it hits you all at once, but with edibles it gradually builds up then slowly fades away. You often don't even realize you're stoned until you stop to look at your eyes in the mirror. And then you notice that you've been in a good mood for the past hour or so...then suddenly it dawns on you that you're high as fuck. It's that sneaky.

edit: Math is hard

    I used to be only edibles (rarely) but what I hated was that it'd take 45-60 minutes to kick in and if I didn't dose right I'd have to take more and wait another 30-45 minutes so I'd feel that time was wasted. I eventually switched to vaping when I went 100% WFH and while it was so much better it seemed to quickly go from 2 or 3 good puffs to make it through an entire movie and then some to 4 deep rips every 30 minutes to the point my throat would get too scratchy. I'd have to go on 2 week tolerance resets.

    I eventually started adding back some edibles but if I tried taking them after a couple days of vaping I don't know if my tolerance was screwed. I bought 2 bags of Rocket Bites, and gal behind the counter said she eats half of one and is set for hours. That particular day I ended up eating an entire bag just to get my face to tingle.

    Due to some job and personal shit I didn't touch the stuff for about 3 months. I got a new bag of Zerds (one of those slapped hard several months prior even while vaping) and also got a THC drink. Those barely hit me. I cant tell if it was because I've been dealing with fluid behind my ear (not an ear infection) for several weeks and have been popping allergy meds/antihistamines trying to fight it, or if I was getting sick and it counteracted the thc...or if my tolerance is just so far out of whack.

    Oh, I've tried. Done >1g THC many times. Most I did was 3g of RSO. Still nothing. If I ever have/get cheap enough weed, I'm going for a 10g dose. 10g of THC, not just weed. I think at that point I can confirm whatever is wrong with me.
