I have probably 7-8g of ABV flower. I think it's 9% THC and 10% CBD. I can't use alcohol but I want to make it into edibles. I'm not sure how to dose it properly, I would like each individual one to be enough to get properly high but not freaking out locked to the couch high. Does anyone have any advice?
Smells amazing nice dense buds will let you know once ive tried it

I've 20F been on a prescription for about 3 weeks now for anxiety and depression. I'm also undergoing an autism assessment. I'm struggling to decipher what I think/what I've internalised from others, or if I can confidently say it's working. An important factor is I'm a recovering alcoholic, which I remember telling the clinician - it's also on my medical records which I believe releaf has access to. I used weed recreationally before this and sometimes in conjunction with alcohol.
- So far, I've been quite moody but no more than usual
- The moodiness is not as frequent, and I'm experiencing far more moments of real happiness
- I'm a bit clumsier I think
- It genuinely clears my mind, stops it racing so much and helps me go about my day
- I find myself reaching for more than maybe I should, but I'm trying hard to stick to the dosage, not take it in a bad mood or when I'm craving alcohol badly, and as the days go by I'm naturally having less and less
- I'm nearly 30 days sober again (whoop) and haven't relapsed since I got the prescription
- With my mind racing less I'm able to let cravings pass more easily. I get a bit thirsty for booze when I'm high, but I find just drinking lots of water solves this
- I don't feel worried that it's going to make me relapse, I perhaps worry about using it as a crutch but my mindset is moving increasingly far from that - it feels more like a useful tool
- I'm binge eating some evenings, sometimes to the point of discomfort (I don't realise I'm uncomfortable until I've finished eating). Alcohol made me bloated and gain weight and it was lovely to see my body get back as I exercised more and cut out the booze, but I'm worried about weight gain with the munchies. However, I did find while I was drinking that I barely ate and am still getting back into the routine of 3 meals a day. I think due to the autism I struggle to know when I need food. I'm not really having excessive calories in that context, but a lot of sugar and fat.
- I'm procrastinating exercise and work but that's in no way unusual
My loved ones are understandably worried about me taking anything. My mum after seeing the prescription and hearing my experience seemed won over though. I also keep being told "don't smoke weed, it's the worst thing you can do, your anxiety will get worse". I don't know what I believe and what I'm worried about really. Basically, I just wanted a bit of perspective from someone with more experience and someone who's impartial to me.
