Note: i refer to delta-8 and THCa flower
From what i can tell vaping appears to be the cheapest way to enjoy your herbs. A d8 .510 cart is $12-$20 for a 1g cart and each cart has ~150 hits so each hit is $0.08-$0.14. Now edibles on the other hand sound super expensive. A 1000mg (1g) thing of d8 gummies is $60 for 40 gummies or $1.50 per gummy. Each of these gummies have 25mg of d8 in them. To vape 25mg would need ~5 hits and cost $0.40-$0.65. Or am i way the fuck off base and fucked up my maths. Always did suck in that class.
Edit: i have also heard that vaping is better because it uses much lower temps and doesnt burn off most of the terps before they get to you.
Edibles are only expensive if you’re buying them pre-made. Buy distillate and make brownies and it’s significantly cheaper plus you can control your dosage. Edible highs also last a lot longer anyway.
Alternatively just move to Oregon and the shits so cheap here that it doesn’t even matter lmfao. I ain’t a heavy smoker but $30 gets you a whole ounce if you know where the good deals are and that’ll last me like 3 months lol
