I think you may be doing something wrong, I would be curious what store bought kind you tried too. It's very easy to mess up making it ingestible, you can't just eat cannabis flower or even raw THC oil, it has no effect ingested unless it undergoes a chemical process, such as being extracted into fat/oil/butter with heat, but not so hot the THC breaks down. Some cheap store brands also are weaker than the label and count on people being suggestible.

I say this because if it effects you inhaled, then it's the same chemical in your blood. It just takes up to an hour to work ingested, sometimes people give up waiting on it and go to bed and miss the effect.

All that said, ingested high feels different than inhaled usually, unless you're using a strong tincture, that stuff can knock you on your ass and your family will find you laying on the floor as you travel through space.

Yeah sometimes if I eat too much food before, it can take like 2-3 hours to kick in

Conversely if taken in an empty stomach it can have a delayed impact until you eat something.
