And the advantage of vaping is it's a very, very fast onset.

So if you have a charley horse that's dropped you to your knees, eating an edible and waiting 45 minutes isn't going to work.

Now, the edibles, I typically ask people, particularly people that are maybe virginal and that, you know, they haven't had a great time in college or whatnot.

You take the edible and you cut it in half.
