Don't let someone (even your husband) push you into something you are not comfortable with.
Some of the meds I take make me extremely nausious so I get THC gummys. it seems to help.
My Nursre Practitioner Encourages me to take edibles. I do not smoke it! It relaxes mewhen I am deprssed or manic. As others have stated, it effects everyone differenly.
