  If I want to be at top performance - none.

  If I want to relax a bit, no more than 5mg of an edible. I've taken way more at various bits in life, letting it become waaay too much of a habit, and I think it causes little but trouble. It often resulted in a bad loop of increased tolerance, being really tired the next day, slamming caffeine to over-compensate, having more anxiety to deal with, repeat...

  CBD, cliche as it is to say, is actually pretty underrated as an in-between. With 1mg THC, 20mg CBD, it's very soothing without being impairing.

  I think with smoking and vaping it's exceedingly easy to consume way too much. I'd recommend not more than a couple puffs, to be honest. Weed is way too strong now. My kingdom for a return to the 60's situation of weak weed and strong acid.

  I smoke about 1.5g per day. Helps me cough up "junk". It assists digestion and other related issues as well. CBD herb hasn't got as much of that as higher THC strains do, for me. the breathing assistance is the most important effect for me now.

  None. I haven't found much benefit from it, and I just get sleepy (I currently don't have trouble falling asleep).

  15mg edible before bed to get to me to sleep, plus some occasional smoking either in social settings or out of boredom.

  None but not by choice, it's illegal in my country.

  At about a gram a day.
