I think edibles are fine, but you have to know what you’re doing first. Start with a pen and work your way up.
This reasoning can be applied to almost any drug. Stepping into it is wiser than taking too much of something that locks in for several hours under extreme circumstances.
The overdoses Hank cites almost all accrue from edibles. Ever see anyone have a psychotic episode after too many bong hits? Of course not. But I have seen people eat too much (granted, they were dumb) and get all kooky.

Yes. Of course. Your blanket statement about edibles makes perfect sense in the context of "you need to know what you're doing first."
I've never seen anyone have a weed-related psychotic episode. The first time I took gummies, I had no clue what I was doing and probably took about 40 milligrams, ten milligrams at a time because I was impatient. It was way too much and it did, indeed, last quite some time. In the grand scheme, not that big a deal.
I have also smoked very, very strong weed, thrown up and passed the fuck out and slept for 15 hours. I've done bong hits of really strong weed and the overwhelming high lasted way, way too long.
In each case the obvious issue is that I did too much of something that was too strong. So let's return to where we started. There is nothing wrong with edibles if you take the right dosage.
