Is there a way to seek out certain edibles effects like how is done with different flower strains for smoking? It seems like the edibles market in Arizona is far less diverse than flower and I’m wondering if it has to do with the effects of edibles in general? I generally want a product that will energize me and help with the creakyness I’ve developed over the years. I basically never seek out a mellowing high or a couch lock. Thank you for any help 😁

Caffeine you say? I do medicated coffee daily, with my own tincture, works like a charm.

I vape dry herb, which gives me ABV.
I collect an eighth or so, drop it into an iced tea bag, put that into a 600ml beaker, smother it in Big Red 190 (half the $ of Everclear) and let sit overnight.
In the morning (and for dayz after) I draw off 5-10cc’s, drop it in a mug, do pour over to taste and add cream to bind the THC and make it digestible.
Solid 10/10.
Sorry for the wall’o’text, hope it helps.
I’m sure the coffee covers most of the abv taste but if you water cure it first the resulting tincture tastes way better. I use a French press and agitate with the plunger, change water then agitate some more for 4 or 5 cycles until the water is clean looking then dry. Seems like more work than it is and the extracts or edibles I make taste way better.
I have not done this in the past because, as you said, it seemed like a lot of extra work. As you outlined it though, using the FP, seems pretty ez and def worth trying. Question. Do you “assist” the drying, i.e. low heat convection oven or just let it dry over time?
I just let it dry. I usually use mine to put in baked goods so I if it’s still a little damp it doesn’t matter. For tincture I’d think fan, low temp oven or whatever would be ideal. It gets pretty dry just with the press and then I use paper towels to squeeze some more. I favor a coarser grind which helps so ymmv in that respect.

My partner and I accidentally discovered “the trifecta” of alcohol, weed, and caffeine. But it’s a careful balance, you don’t want a lot of any one thing.
The idea is just enough alcohol to loosen up but not enough to get drunk, a bit of weed to ground you but not so much that it’s overwhelming, and caffeine to offset the sleepiness and brain fog. For us it means two espresso cocktails and half a small joint.
Obviously not something you want to do often, but ngl it’s nice

I’m a big fan of “coffee and liquor of choice”.
Espresso cocktails are better made with, well, espresso imo. Licor 43 is my absolute favorite spirit to pair with coffee, it’s a sweet vanilla caramel flavored liquor. I like to mix it 50/50 with whiskey to increase the alcohol content without sacrificing flavor. Irish cream is also a well known favorite.
A lot of the dispensaries here have weed infused soda so those contain both caffeine and THC. You could also just smoke and then drink a cup of coffee.
Also 100% agreed that it’s all placebo regarding the whole indica versus sativa business.
