I hear this sometimes. I also hear some people aren’t affected at all by edibles. Strange thing edibles. They work for me, but are somewhat different than how I remember when I used to smoke (I’ve been using for 20+ years, and simply switched over to edibles 6 years ago). I’m also a little older now so things may be different for other reasons.
The reason for the wide variety of reactions is probably because cannabis isn’t processed in the body like most drugs. THC is not water soluble which means it’s much less readily absorbed by the digestive system.
I didn’t mention before, but I primarily use tinctures, though pills too. Rarely gummies. I figure the pills and gummies have to be similar in effect/come on, both being swallowed and digested. I don’t know if tinctures are also considered edibles or if they’re in a separate category, due to being absorbed sublingually. There’s a lot more control with tinctures. Still not as quick as inhaling, but a solid alternative.
My husband is one of those who isn’t affected hardly at all. He ate an entire 110mg tin of gummies and felt “a little buzzed”. I eat a half a gummy, or sometimes even a quarter, and I’m coasting for a couple hours, lol.
Holy cow, does he have a tolerance from smoking or something? That’s a lot. Maybe he’s one of the folks with a certain enzyme missing that is primarily responsible for metabolizing THC, I hear about that from time to time.

More for you! 😉 (unfortunate for your husband)

Petty sure it’s the latter, as his smoke/vape tolerance is high but not crazy. Edibles just don’t do anything to him!
