If you want to eat a whole chocolate bar to get high, you can go ahead and buy a dosed bar appropriately, but a lot of people don’t want to do that. And 1 bar might not even be enough as people have different tolerances.

On the black market, things can be dosed so you can maybe do it in 2-3 squares of a 16 square chocolate bar. You can get high, but also don’t need to eat an unhealthy amount of sugar. We don’t want to be encouraging a chocolate bar a day for some people.

Valid point on the “one a day” possibility. I never considered it that way.

Oh there’s one other interesting point which I believe can be an issue sometimes.

When you dose a bag of gummies at 10mg, I’m not sure where things stand on the dose of each gummy vs the bag. I think I’ve heard stories of unpredictable doses if not the whole serving. That would be the same risk for high or low dose as well.

But when you get into something like a brownie or cookie, which is sold as a single item you would intend to eat all at once, you don’t have that issue. But they can’t make a single cookie or brownie with a high enough dose.

I’m not actually sure how much of a problem that is in reality, but it’s a minor consideration if doses are broken up.
