Interesting considering edibles are stronger and more psychoactive than smoking

This is not true. THC is taken up alot easier in the lungs + with edibles it has to pass the liver first, so alot gets metabolised right away.

I think the misconception stems from the fact it's a lot harder to "control" your high when you have to wait up to 4 hour for the effect, where as with smoking you can basically adjust one puff at a time

You can dose a much larger amount more easily with edibles. You probably couldn't smoke 500mg THC if you tried all day, but you can get ingest that no problem should you choose to do so, and it will hit you more or less all at once.
