I would counter that by pointing out that if your aim is to achieve a certain degree of bioavailability of TCH, you'd have to smoke a larger quantity of a lower-potency product, thus exposing yourself to more of the combustion by-products than necessary.

I’m primarily an edibles consumer I wish marijuana use wasn’t assumed to be “smoking” by default most questionnaires and even dating apps are like do you smoke marijuana

  I agree with you, but I think the bigger thing is that people do not understand that edibles affect people far differently than smoking does. Not just the effects, but the way the body metabolizes the substance. That information should really be more available, especially as cannabis legalization increases. Too many heavy smokers end up taking edibles and having a horrible time because they thought they needed a high amount of edibles to match their smoking habits.

With high-potency strains you can't titrate effectively. "One puff" is a highly variable amount and you can't take 1.3 puffs. Not to mention that there's a minimum amount you have to put in a bowl, and if you don't smoke it, it gets stale and unpleasant. It's like having 85% ABV wine and pouring it into a wine glass and then what? Just take 1.3 sips and pour it back into the bottle?

  Pack a smaller bowl. This really isn't difficult. You can VERY easily modulate how much plant matter you put into the bowl and even with very high test strains, you can easily take a smaller puff and wait longer between lighting up. This isn't hard.

    At the amounts I'm talking about, with the heavier strains, you can't pack a smaller bowl. What am I supposed to do, pick out a little crumb and put it in there? It won't even be a deterministic amount. That's exactly the problem I'm referring to.
