Not cold turkey. Good. That way creates more options other than 'just do and just don't. More options are mostly better too.
"Eating it straight up is also an option but for me it is too earthy so I like to mix it in to something sweet. You can still taste it in the baked goods depending on the concentration but it's not as bad as just eating a bud off the floor. To me anyway, I know others that do."
You were creative. Tick. I settled for less. No tick. Maybe because i don't use the oven. I sorta stopped at chopping a who-knows-what plant - a mutt - up, then frying it in oil, then putting eggs, whatever else you feel like. Pork chops, chicken, ch-liver, vegetables, whatever.
Oh, and spaghetti too. LOL yessurreee. That's one thing i do well.
Plants. Hardly any. Mostly families of 1-3 over years. Three only maybe three times. Lately mostly only one. Have been lazy on types. Even being sure of picking female from male was dodgy. Sometimes only males. Basically the poor buggers did it tough. Though they got watered. The odd pinch of a red-powder fertilizer. .. the name ??? buttt.. if it comes in time to edit, i will
You went for more, i settled for less. Sounds to me you're doing well.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
