I tried my first edibles two weeks ago. I ate 10mg of a hybrid (half Sativa and half Indica) and the 10mg felt oh so smooth. But then I decided to eat another 10mg and I got pretty blitzed.
And here's the thing: I was not at all sitting around spaced out, I had more motivation to exercise than I've had in ages. And since I had to have a lesion removed from my spinal cord 10 years ago, I've had a lack of feeling in my right foot, from resulting nerve damage.
What I noticed from getting high for the first time since before I had the surgery was my balance felt much improved, and my walking was noticeably better. I had not walked that well since before my surgery 10 years ago.
So there ya go. It all started out as "medical marijuana" for a reason, there are numerous medical benefits, but that was something I was totally unprepared for. Sadly, I won't be able to partake again, for fear of getting tested for marijuana at work.
