Maybe stick with edibles.. That's what I do, but still enjoy a few hits off the pipe in the evening.

I infuse my own butter and bake cookies but we buy gummies at the dispensary. We used to grow our own but got lazy.

It's legal and relatively inexpensive here in Colorado.

Good luck.. I know you'll make the right decision.
