I've been trying to find edibles that will keep me up and creative. I've been focusing on sativa strains. I am pretty new to weed and would love some recommendations from the more experienced users.

Highest dose I've taken is 100mg on two or three occasions, ended up decently high for a few hours, then fell asleep. I don't think it is a tolerance thing b/c I only partake twice a week.

Edit: The advice is appreciated, but more so looking to see if there are any popular brands established. Thanks for the help!

Isn't 100mg a really high dosage? If you just want creativity, I would suggest much lower dosages. There's some 5mg honey candies you can buy, so you could try taking one an hour and noting down how you feel about an hour later. If you forget time, how many you had, or what you were supposed to note down, you've probably taken too many :).

For me, between 5-10mg gives me a nice little background buzz but doesn't make me lazy. For higher dosages, unless I'm already doing something active (hiking, coding, out with friends etc), I usually don't have much motivation other than to melt.

Edit: Etain forte lozenges are the honey candies I was thinking of.

100 is pretty high, most of the time I'll go with 30-60. It was mostly to say I have tried to get a better high with more.

Sounds like a tolerance issue but the opposite of what you're thinking. You're taking too much, and you don't have a tolerance.

I think the other advice is good; just lower the dosage.

You may also want to try shrooms or MDMA (if you're in a safe place).

I'm pretty sure twice a week is enough to build up tolerance. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Only read the title but I highly recommend tators. Very tasty and edible.

You should try something with CBG. If you have Grön where you are, they have some good CBG options. I haven't used it for creative purposes, but CBG certainly keeps me up and alert and bright at work.
