Well, have to say, Kevin G was right on the money to suggest tinkering with the dosage and strain. 

I cut way back on the dosage and since then the experiences with edibles have been much, much more pleasurable. 

The other night I consumed a dose and then when it kicked in, started watching videos through Youtube with the headphones on and it was like a five-minute video was taking a half-hour to play.

Last night was also a good mellow night - just sort of sat around in a real tranquil mood. 

So I am going to make notes of the two types of edibles I tried this time and if I go back, try another strain.

Though, I do have to add - this one edible gives me quite a bit of gas and I mean explosive gas (it is a coffee-flavored edible).
