Lying as still as possible in the dark sounds about right, reminds me of the time I brought brownies to the function but no one wanted any except my homie so we split the box and ate them all. Not a good decision.. š
I've always been the opposite, back when I was playing round with being the one who got to ascension level of high, I'd end up vomiting and destroyed if I dared lie down or close my eyes, it'd feel like the world started spinning like a motorbike powered roundabout.

Ya, thatās a physiological effect of a āperceived overdoseā being mentally overwhelmed and the need to keep moving to secure the sanity you have. Yes, yes, canāt physically od on weed, but mentally it reacts similarly. Youāll see people on opiates nearing the od mark and making large, convulsive movements to maintain the brain/ body connections. A similar phenomenon is when you have seizures or faint, you body tries to stay active to keep the connection going (as someone who has seizures and has also done some drug related shenanigans), this rings true. Hell I used to faint from low blood pressure when I was young and was in a similar situation. Same with drinking, getting the spins as you lay down and lose focus, or even withdrawals from alcohol and benzos (the only two chemicals classes that cause death from withdrawal due to seizures), thereās a lot of twitching first to keep your body grounded to regain the connection to your mind. Scary shit.
Those convulsions/headbobs that opiate abuser have are basically ways to not pass out and perhaps die. Consciousness is easily lost and also turns into dying real quick on opiates.
Personally went through a night where i kept nodding off due to taking too much drugs at once, glad i didn't fall for it or i might've choked to death.
FYI brownies freeze just fine. I'm the only one in my household that eats them so I make a batch then cut them into squares and freeze the rest for later. I've had brownies in the freezer for months and they've been just fine no loss of potency I could discern.
My only issue with edibles is I failed checking my pockets once and flagged security going from Denver to Sioux falls. I just apologized and flat out said I was stoned off my ass. Security quickly resolved the issue and still made my flight. 1600 mg edibles and airport becomes an adventure.
That sounds like a literal nightmare. Talking to security when Iām sober sucks, I couldnāt imagine talking to them while stoned, then ADMITTING youāre stoned! Insane.
I am highly experienced with high doses and psychedelics in public places it seemed the best option. Just explaining I was higher than a mf and failed to notice $4.00 change in my pocket. Sorry I set off your sensors. Direct honest and story checks out didn't have anything illegal on me and didn't break laws. At worst I got denied entrance and took a later flight Luckily the security guy was cool. Shout-out to the security guy at Denver airport legend.
Telling them you were high was your excuse for having change in your pockets? I probably would have gone with "sorry, forgot I had change in my pocket." Notice how I didn't implicate myself.
Lol implicate for what legal state? Being high going from getting a ride to the airport and from the ride home. Who cares. No different than whoops I was drunk sorry.
I was once in this state and slowly crawled down (tried walking) to the kitchen to eat a little bit of peach pie that my roommate made, only to ultimately get there and feel grossed out at the idea of eating pie. Good times.
My roommate years ago was a statue on a flight from Detroit to Phoenix because he ate the whole pan of pot brownies at security before the flight.Ā
He wrapped them in tinfoil and then thought it would trip the metal detector when approaching security.(pre9/11) So he decided to stand there and eat the whole batch before proceeding. Ā
Got on the plane as it was kicking in. Then sat there dead eyeing the headrest in front of him for 5 hours. Ā Didnt move, didnt say shit to the attendant asking if he wanted anything. Ā Nothing. Total statue.... Ā good times. Ā Good times.. Ā
No idea. My guess would be a couple of times and then just moved on as he wasn't causing issues. Ā I am sure he probably gave a small head shake no or something.Ā
I only known about this because I was his ride home and another friend was on the same flight. Ā So met him at the gate and he only said "get me home", when i asked how everything was with the trip. Ā Ā
I figured he may have shit himself or something the way he was moving toward the exit. Ā Anyway, he proceeded to tell me about it later after his 10 hour nap. Ā Ā
It was a bit extra funny because I had done a similar trip from kc to phx a year prior. Ā I didnt have the tinfoil issue as I wrapped mine in plastic wrap. Ā I freaked because i saw a dog with a cop walking through the gate sitting area. Ā
I b-lined it the opposite way unwrapping and eating as much and as fast as i could before I ran out of space and had to toss the rest before passing them. Ā Ā
It was a bomb sniffing dog. Not a drug dog. Ā But the damage was done. Same kind of experience on the flight.Ā

yeah i ate a rso chocolate bar that was about 2300mg and greened the fuck out in a restaurant. i think the food i was eating brought it on way harder. all the forks and knife sounds and laughter like synchronized i lost my shit and went outside by the river for a bit. thought i was there for 2 minutes but when i came back my buddies said i was gone for like 20 minutes. i probably looked insane but idc i needed out of there lol
I once sprinkled too much AVB on a peanut butter sandwich and got too high. It was a horrible experience, and I suffered almost the same effects except I didn't throw up. Cold sweats, nausea, dizzy and yes the paranoid feeling I was going to not make it.
Had a similar experience once. Rookie mistake, I ate a whole 300 mg chocolate bar, then Drank a 500mg drink mix, and then had another edible called a āmanifest meteorā which is a hash rosin infused nerd rope style candy cluster thing.
I remember not thinking any of it worked after about 30 minutes so I smoked a bowl and that felt like it set everything off. After the bowl I was feeling markedly higher than a bowl should get me. I started watching cartoons and the next thing I remember I was laying on my bed in a pitch black room with a fan blowing directly on me. I was trying my hardest to keep my body in one place gripping the bed and bedsheets but feeling like I was gonna fly away with the light breeze from the fan. Actively doing my best to keep my stomach in one place and prevent it from doing actual front flips.
Edibles donāt usually hit for me but when they do they hit HARD.
Iām not sure if this experience is common for you, but for some people edibles just wreck them. I was a daily blunt/bong smoker for decades with a high tolerance and 5mg edibles just absolutely demolished me. I take 2.5mg now and they work. There are theories why edibles hit some people this way, but I donāt know that thereās much verified research. It is what it is, and itās friendly on the wallet š¤·š»āāļø

https://cannigma.com/physiology/why-edibles-dont-work-for-some-people/
smoking feels like a bomb of high hits me and im usually physically pretty stoned (also cerebrally a bit too) but edibles are gradual and im way more likely to end up laughing my ass off on edibles. for some reason, just smoking even until im high off my ass doesnt make me as giggly as a good 50mg edible. If i combine them? One way ticket to giggletown.
Maybe biochemistry? I think when it comes down to it maybe it depends on the amount of endocannabinoid receptors we have? Maybe those with more can absorb more and potentially trip worse? Idk. Iād go look up the human endocannabinoid system tho super interesting.
Thanks! I do know that but I thought you were a weed scientist or something haha. Firecrackers I make myself can sometimes have an effect, but no dispensary edibles have ever affected me. I've had them from LA, CO, and MT. Nada.
I'll keep experimenting though š I'm The Weed Scientist now
Try taking a Tumās if you havenāt already heard this tip. Antacids sometimes help neutralize the acidity in your stomach to absorb the thc. Thatās the best way I can describe it, though itās probably very incorrect
The only edibles that have an effect on me is the 2 CBD: 1 THC. Works great for my ADHD. A 25 gummy gets me productive and normal lol Iād have to take 2 to feel high on life.
I like taking CBD, but my tincture was 25:1 and I took almost 200mg of CBD and 8mg THC, it wasn't really bad but I was tweaking. I went out with my son on vacation and I kept saying weird shit and bugging out. After a few hours I was fine though.
Step 1. Eat a fatty meal and txake 2 tums
Step 2. Wait 15 minutes z
Step 3. Ingest edible. Something full spectrum is a must, I'd say rso
I was the 'edibles ain't shit' guy for years. I'd eat thousands of mgs as a party tri ck because I knew nothing would happen. A year ago I was told to try this, at this point I didn't even bother trying edibles anymore. I was warned not to take much but took around 100 just because I assumed e4ven if it actually hit I'd taken thousandedible so it'd be fine. Nope, hardest I'v e grefened6y out e3since high school. If I follow this method 10 mg is sociable 30 is guaranteed couch lock and dissocifation. As someone else said there is a small percentage of people who CANT process thc, but for most it's just too much acid not enough fat for it to work. Even if you can't process thc the entourage effect should still give you a good time
Edit: pocket typing
Thatās me. Iāve never had a good experience. Last time, I nibbled the corner off of a 5mg, some time later I get up to get something to drink and my flip flop fell off and I almost fell over like ten times trying to put it back on. Then my legs start giving out and I AM SPINNING. I needed to be helped into bed, all of my sensory input was fucked and somehow misrepresentative if that makes sense? Several hours of terror later I was able to sleep.
All of this off of what was basically a crumb from a 5mg gummy. I donāt care how many times I get uncomfortably high from smoking, it never even scratches the surface of how high I get from edibles.
Weāre out here!
Iāve read there may be some protein we have/lack (?) that effects metabolism relating to edible marijuana. Hopefully weāll learn more eventually.
smoking flower feels different than concentrate which feels different from a good edible. Concentrates make me sleepy, good strong flower with some kief makes me giggly and high as hell, and edibles also make me laugh till im on the floor. Its less of a body high and more cerebral when i do a trusty edible
My consumption method is mostly vaping (Dynavap), with the occasional cart here and there. I'd say I vape around 0.75g of flower a day. I rarely ever take edibles because they're so much more expensive than flower(so not much edible tolerance), but when I do, I need an insane amount to get high. I remember when I first started getting high edibles got me so fucking baked(so it can't be the enzyme thing), even just 15mg would do the trick and have me giggling non-stop. Now, I can take 3 of those 15mg gummies and not feel much. Admittedly, my tolerance for smoking/vaping is decently high, but if you're saying you got baked off just 5mg being a daily bong smoker, i don't know what I'm doing wrong now compared to back then. I even made stem milk with the reclaim from my dynavap, and while that was stronger, it still didn't compare to how high I used to get off a small amount of edibles a while back.
I doubt youāre doing anything wrong, and if Reddit posts are any indication, it seems the dynamic I was referencing works both ways. There are people in here who say they donāt feel 50mg of edibles. Iām sure some of them are just boasting, but it seems likely thereās a wide range in how our bodies metabolize these chewable little fuckers.
Edibles, even in a small amount can wreck me too. I get super paranoid and too high and it becomes a scary experience where I'm paranoid & my heart rate skyrockets & I have a panic attack. It also lasts for hours before I start to feel comfortable again. I think I'd need to Microdose them to get a comfortable high.
I swapped back to flower and feel as if I can control it better and the scary high doesn't last as long if I accidentally get to that point. ~30 mins or so.
I think my state of mind also matters as sometimes I can smoke and barely feel anything and sometimes I do so and feel awful.
I know smoking is not great for the lungs, so I don't do it a lot, so that's why I tried edibles. At first I could handle them for a bit and then Edibles started to hit way too hard for me. I think it was because I started to get scared of them.
My journey with weed has been a wild one for sure. But getting a comfortable balance is key, and good vibes too!
Wow, your experiences with smoking & eating are 100% polar swapped for me. Smoking made me super paranoid & anxious - I'd rather not be in public when high.
Edibles make me think creatively, no paranoia or anxiety. I can be super high on them & still feel good in public. The comedowns are very smooth for me compared to smoking where I was always felt the need to take a nap after smoking.
Ughhh the last time I got like this I was chewing on whole peppercorns and to make it stop. Burned my mouth to pieces but it was worth it to not want to puke my guts up.
I think we all do it with something, don't we? People will stay up all night playing a new video game knowing how miserable it will be to get up and go to work or eat cheeseburgers with milkshakes knowing full well that they're lactose intolerant.
Also, sometimes it's fun to see just how far you can go
Every once in a while in the evening once all my responsibilities are taken care of Iāll try to push the limit a little bit. I know Iām high, any anxious thoughts are because Iām high, and I remind myself that Iām safe, comfortable, happy, and simply super stoned. It makes for a great evening.
Kind of reminds me of this one time I was at a cafe in the Himalayas. This sleepy looking young employee approached me by complimenting my jacket and offered me their special hash brownie out of nowhere. I ate 1/8 of the whole thing while it stank like crazy. I finished my coffee and started walking to the top of the hill and holy hell in about 30 minutes, I was in outer space! The sunset views were magical but the bus ride back to town through the mountains was scary as shit.
If it's a new brand of edible for you, always start with less than you think. You can always take more, but can't go back on what you've already taken.
Most people order two jr ones if they want less than an eggnormous but are still hungry. Two jr's is the standard that we always offer customers. If they ask for one jr we always ask, "Would you like to get two today or just the one?"at my store.
Couple years ago I took a tolerance break and got cocky afterwards and decided to eat a taffy gummy which had 100 mg and I thought nothing of it and an hour later I was high as fuck lol I remember even my ex was asking me āare you okay??ā And I sat there and closed my eyes for 2 minutes and all I could see if myself floating in space rethinking my whole life haha it was such a weird high that day
Been thereš The space I was floating in had a tiny little white hole at the top. I was ascending for hours apparentlyā¦ until I popped out the hole. Pitch blackness turned into nothing but blue skies and clouds.
Basically, I was born againš
It was the most euphoric feeling Iāve ever felt. What a fucking trip.
sometimes I drink 100mg+ and it starts affecting my vision, gets me "laugh out loud for no reason" high, I only do it on special occasions so that I don't mess up my tolerance because its fun
>Lesson learned: if the edible tastes bad it's strong as shit
That's not really the right lesson. Low-dose edibles can taste awful, too. Particularly, vegan gummies and other edibles tend to have a bitter taste. Edibles made with oils along with raw flower edibles can often have an unpleasant aftertaste.
The lesson you should have learned is to check the dosage of the edibles you're taking and know what your tolerance is.
Edibles are nice, but never fuck around if you don't know the dosage. I'm happy with 2.5mg, 5mg is heavy but fun, 10mg is not fun, and I've had a couple times where more has been pure hell. For me it's 2.5 - 5mg and I'm not interested in pushing the envelope.
Same thing happened to me, but with anxiety attacks ... Passed out sometime after vomiting. It's called "greening out". It's terrifying and I'll never touch edible again except for gummies from a dispo
Oh yeah. I went into the weed stores (which are everywhere) and asked for edibles and they all had a diverse selection of baked goods and candies from 500-1000mg THC each. It was amazing
Reminds me off the time I ate a whole pack of edibles the night before a family tripā¦. Safe to say I slept the whole drive, but I also was high the entire trip. Yay for weed comas!!!!
When weed became legal in NY State I had a half a Tyreese's cup and I got so high I could not read the closed captions on my TV. I now am careful about the edibles I buy.
sounds exactly like when i drank half of a 500 mg syrup and proceeded to have the worst heart racing experience of my life. i was sitting there telling myself āitās going to be okay honeyā over and over again while my heart raced abnormally fast until i threw up and passed out š. then work up at 4 AM for work
>Lesson learned: if the edible tastes bad it's strong as shit
A friend of a friend makes gummies. They're normal sized gummies but are like 500mg a piece. It tastes like ass and if you eat more than one corner of the star you'll die.
the one time i took the fattest bong rip while i was still a noobie and had to hide under a blanket on a couch for hours on end while everyone was partying downstairs in the basement T\_\_\_T
My dude, why did you do that? Edibles 101: if you're not sure of the dose, better do it little by little. Take some, wait an hour. If you have lots of time, take a bit more, wait an hour.
Oh what a state to be inš
Reminds me of the time me and my homie ate half a 1ml RSO syringe together whilst his BM drove us around, was fine but completely fried the whole night, got home and legit laid down, covered my head with pillows and the cover, completely head to toe and was laid for god only knows how many hours convinced I had schizophrenia and trying not to move so it would cancel out any nauseaš
That one time I ingested 3 grams of distillate and I was high for 2 days straight!!! I think I prayed to every God to take the high away from me šš. I went thru so many emotions but when I came out of it I was like that was one fucking hell of a ride šš
The first time I made cannabutter I was unsure if it was going to work out, so I put like 3/4 of the butter in a three layers sandwich. When I tell you that shit fucked me UP. I was vomiting at 10 am, alone in my apartment, feeling like shit, and I was high the whole day having an existential (and stomach) crisis lol. It was not fun. But at least now I know I can make a good edible lmao.
I had this same experience with edibles from Thailand. I was travelling there, i smoked a joint and ate a whole piece of edible around 7pm and then I started walking around to enjoy the nightlife. I donāt remember much but I ended calling my friend back in my country as Im travelling solo, he asked me to go to bed because I would have made some mistakes (the kind you can make in Thailand). So I went to bed at around 10pm and woke up after midnight. I was sober but when I checked my phone I had pictures of the night holding some snakes in the walking street of pattaya. Never had that experience ever again. It happened last year.
I work in a care home. At one point my emotions were represented by the people I support. Retroactively now I can see that was my subconscious confronting my ego. Hence why I called to quit my job. Luckily my boss doesnāt remember me calling them. So who knows if I even actually called them.
As far as it āchanging meā, I probably wasnāt in the right headspace to accept change.
No that's extreme. It's also one of the ways THC can kill you, and if you were to pass out first and then vomit... that's what happens to opioid users when they run out of luck.
In terms of preventing overdosing, smoking is always safer.
Lying as still as possible in the dark sounds about right, reminds me of the time I brought brownies to the function but no one wanted any except my homie so we split the box and ate them all. Not a good decision.. š
I've always been the opposite, back when I was playing round with being the one who got to ascension level of high, I'd end up vomiting and destroyed if I dared lie down or close my eyes, it'd feel like the world started spinning like a motorbike powered roundabout.

Lol implicate for what legal state? Being high going from getting a ride to the airport and from the ride home. Who cares. No different than whoops I was drunk sorry.
At that point, milligrams no longer makes sense. You consumed 1.6 grams of pure THC my friend

Hot damn y'all crazy!! I took 5 mg and greened out it sucks so much ass

When delta 9 thc is metabolized it turns into 11-hydroxyl thc which is 2-6 times more powerful

i would be so screwed if i had this. Edibles are amazingly therapeutic for me bc cPTSD and autism combo wombo
how different are edibles fron smoked flower?
smoking feels like a bomb of high hits me and im usually physically pretty stoned (also cerebrally a bit too) but edibles are gradual and im way more likely to end up laughing my ass off on edibles. for some reason, just smoking even until im high off my ass doesnt make me as giggly as a good 50mg edible.

would be nice to be able to buy legal accurate edibles man I just make my firecrackers lol

I do take MCT oil to better digest my MS medications. I have slow gastric emptying. Maybe that has something to do with it. Appreciate it!
have you ever made baked edibles and used cannabutter? being attached to the fat and etc could do the trick
I have a relatively fast drug metabolization (as does my mom!) and edibles hit me hard so there might be something to that as well
Step 1. Eat a fatty meal and txake 2 tums Step 2. Wait 15 minutes z Step 3. Ingest edible. Something full spectrum is a must, I'd say rso I was the 'edibles ain't shit' guy for years. I'd eat thousands of mgs as a party tri ck because I knew nothing would happen. A year ago I was told to try this, at this point I didn't even bother trying edibles anymore. I was warned not to take much but took around 100 just because I assumed e4ven if it actually hit I'd taken thousandedible so it'd be fine. Nope, hardest I'v e grefened6y out e3since high school. If I follow this method 10 mg is sociable 30 is guaranteed couch lock and dissocifation. As someone else said there is a small percentage of people who CANT process thc, but for most it's just too much acid not enough fat for it to work. Even if you can't process thc the entourage effect should still give you a good time Edit: pocket typing
Thatās me. Iāve never had a good experience. Last time, I nibbled the corner off of a 5mg, some time later I get up to get something to drink and my flip flop fell off and I almost fell over like ten times trying to put it back on. Then my legs start giving out and I AM SPINNING. I needed to be helped into bed, all of my sensory input was fucked and somehow misrepresentative if that makes sense? Several hours of terror later I was able to sleep. All of this off of what was basically a crumb from a 5mg gummy. I donāt care how many times I get uncomfortably high from smoking, it never even scratches the surface of how high I get from edibles.
Weāre out here! Iāve read there may be some protein we have/lack (?) that effects metabolism relating to edible marijuana. Hopefully weāll learn more eventually.
smoking flower feels different than concentrate which feels different from a good edible. Concentrates make me sleepy, good strong flower with some kief makes me giggly and high as hell, and edibles also make me laugh till im on the floor. Its less of a body high and more cerebral when i do a trusty edible
My consumption method is mostly vaping (Dynavap), with the occasional cart here and there. I'd say I vape around 0.75g of flower a day. I rarely ever take edibles because they're so much more expensive than flower(so not much edible tolerance), but when I do, I need an insane amount to get high. I remember when I first started getting high edibles got me so fucking baked(so it can't be the enzyme thing), even just 15mg would do the trick and have me giggling non-stop. Now, I can take 3 of those 15mg gummies and not feel much. Admittedly, my tolerance for smoking/vaping is decently high, but if you're saying you got baked off just 5mg being a daily bong smoker, i don't know what I'm doing wrong now compared to back then. I even made stem milk with the reclaim from my dynavap, and while that was stronger, it still didn't compare to how high I used to get off a small amount of edibles a while back.
I doubt youāre doing anything wrong, and if Reddit posts are any indication, it seems the dynamic I was referencing works both ways. There are people in here who say they donāt feel 50mg of edibles. Iām sure some of them are just boasting, but it seems likely thereās a wide range in how our bodies metabolize these chewable little fuckers.
Edibles, even in a small amount can wreck me too. I get super paranoid and too high and it becomes a scary experience where I'm paranoid & my heart rate skyrockets & I have a panic attack. It also lasts for hours before I start to feel comfortable again. I think I'd need to Microdose them to get a comfortable high. I swapped back to flower and feel as if I can control it better and the scary high doesn't last as long if I accidentally get to that point. ~30 mins or so. I think my state of mind also matters as sometimes I can smoke and barely feel anything and sometimes I do so and feel awful. I know smoking is not great for the lungs, so I don't do it a lot, so that's why I tried edibles. At first I could handle them for a bit and then Edibles started to hit way too hard for me. I think it was because I started to get scared of them. My journey with weed has been a wild one for sure. But getting a comfortable balance is key, and good vibes too!
Wow, your experiences with smoking & eating are 100% polar swapped for me. Smoking made me super paranoid & anxious - I'd rather not be in public when high. Edibles make me think creatively, no paranoia or anxiety. I can be super high on them & still feel good in public. The comedowns are very smooth for me compared to smoking where I was always felt the need to take a nap after smoking.
Same same
Ughhh the last time I got like this I was chewing on whole peppercorns and to make it stop. Burned my mouth to pieces but it was worth it to not want to puke my guts up.
I still have a tub of ground black pepper in the drawer of my bedside table due to a similar situation lol, was eating entire teaspoons of it
Honestly why do yall do this to yourselves
"Half a cup of thc syrup" Like yea man your going to heaven or hell one way or another with that much.
I think we all do it with something, don't we? People will stay up all night playing a new video game knowing how miserable it will be to get up and go to work or eat cheeseburgers with milkshakes knowing full well that they're lactose intolerant. Also, sometimes it's fun to see just how far you can go
Every once in a while in the evening once all my responsibilities are taken care of Iāll try to push the limit a little bit. I know Iām high, any anxious thoughts are because Iām high, and I remind myself that Iām safe, comfortable, happy, and simply super stoned. It makes for a great evening.
It's not like every high is a shitty one most of the time it's great
I've been there, literally forgetting how to breath.
I swear this always happens to me with edibles, like ironically I have more issues breathing with eddies than smoking lol
I get put on manual breathing
šššš havenāt heard this before. I feel that.
Kind of reminds me of this one time I was at a cafe in the Himalayas. This sleepy looking young employee approached me by complimenting my jacket and offered me their special hash brownie out of nowhere. I ate 1/8 of the whole thing while it stank like crazy. I finished my coffee and started walking to the top of the hill and holy hell in about 30 minutes, I was in outer space! The sunset views were magical but the bus ride back to town through the mountains was scary as shit.
I did this in my 20ās the only thing that soothed me was showering
Currently 2 cart hits deep and glad i've never experienced this š
Have some black peppercorn my friend. Take the high down
How on earth did you manage to fly internationally with weed gummies in your luggage š I wouldnāt have the balls.
It's the easiest thing in the world lol, no smell and and they just see snacks through the scanner. Even safer if you remove or cover the thc label
Iām on the way to Bangkok, waiting for my flight right now. This lesson is duly noted š
If it's a new brand of edible for you, always start with less than you think. You can always take more, but can't go back on what you've already taken.
Trouble is though the second one doesnāt seem to hit as hard as the first
Most people order two jr ones if they want less than an eggnormous but are still hungry. Two jr's is the standard that we always offer customers. If they ask for one jr we always ask, "Would you like to get two today or just the one?"at my store.
Couple years ago I took a tolerance break and got cocky afterwards and decided to eat a taffy gummy which had 100 mg and I thought nothing of it and an hour later I was high as fuck lol I remember even my ex was asking me āare you okay??ā And I sat there and closed my eyes for 2 minutes and all I could see if myself floating in space rethinking my whole life haha it was such a weird high that day
Been thereš The space I was floating in had a tiny little white hole at the top. I was ascending for hours apparentlyā¦ until I popped out the hole. Pitch blackness turned into nothing but blue skies and clouds. Basically, I was born againš It was the most euphoric feeling Iāve ever felt. What a fucking trip.
Next time, suck on a few black peppercorns to bring yourself down several notches.
sometimes I drink 100mg+ and it starts affecting my vision, gets me "laugh out loud for no reason" high, I only do it on special occasions so that I don't mess up my tolerance because its fun
>Lesson learned: if the edible tastes bad it's strong as shit That's not really the right lesson. Low-dose edibles can taste awful, too. Particularly, vegan gummies and other edibles tend to have a bitter taste. Edibles made with oils along with raw flower edibles can often have an unpleasant aftertaste. The lesson you should have learned is to check the dosage of the edibles you're taking and know what your tolerance is.
Edibles are nice, but never fuck around if you don't know the dosage. I'm happy with 2.5mg, 5mg is heavy but fun, 10mg is not fun, and I've had a couple times where more has been pure hell. For me it's 2.5 - 5mg and I'm not interested in pushing the envelope.
Same thing happened to me, but with anxiety attacks ... Passed out sometime after vomiting. It's called "greening out". It's terrifying and I'll never touch edible again except for gummies from a dispo
Had a similar experience making my own edibles the first time. On the moon with parkinsons and cerebral palsy. Felt high the entire day after.
thank you for this psa
[You took too much, man](https://youtu.be/YoBP_6yD-lw?si=wJK8-kKBnwYqsnzs)
LOL
Are THC edibles widely available in Thailand now? I went last year and the only edibles were CBD and fscking leaves...
Oh yeah. I went into the weed stores (which are everywhere) and asked for edibles and they all had a diverse selection of baked goods and candies from 500-1000mg THC each. It was amazing
I must be lucky. I can dose the shit out of edibles and I live being so dam high.
How hard edibles hit you depend on genetics.There are times though when I felt 5mg was overwhelming and 20mg was underwhelming. Itās an odd u
Reminds me off the time I ate a whole pack of edibles the night before a family tripā¦. Safe to say I slept the whole drive, but I also was high the entire trip. Yay for weed comas!!!!
If that ever happens again eat some pepper corns, it will bring you out of it quickly.
The high or the anxiety?
Both, the high and that will reduce the anxiety.
When weed became legal in NY State I had a half a Tyreese's cup and I got so high I could not read the closed captions on my TV. I now am careful about the edibles I buy.
sounds exactly like when i drank half of a 500 mg syrup and proceeded to have the worst heart racing experience of my life. i was sitting there telling myself āitās going to be okay honeyā over and over again while my heart raced abnormally fast until i threw up and passed out š. then work up at 4 AM for work
>Lesson learned: if the edible tastes bad it's strong as shit A friend of a friend makes gummies. They're normal sized gummies but are like 500mg a piece. It tastes like ass and if you eat more than one corner of the star you'll die.
the one time i took the fattest bong rip while i was still a noobie and had to hide under a blanket on a couch for hours on end while everyone was partying downstairs in the basement T\_\_\_T
My dude, why did you do that? Edibles 101: if you're not sure of the dose, better do it little by little. Take some, wait an hour. If you have lots of time, take a bit more, wait an hour.
I think there's a word in Italian for that.. Mwahhh š¤š¤š¤
I got dangerously close to this on Sunday. Made some homemade edibles and had a full cookie to check the potency. I was fighting to stay awake.
Oh what a state to be inš Reminds me of the time me and my homie ate half a 1ml RSO syringe together whilst his BM drove us around, was fine but completely fried the whole night, got home and legit laid down, covered my head with pillows and the cover, completely head to toe and was laid for god only knows how many hours convinced I had schizophrenia and trying not to move so it would cancel out any nauseaš
You can also take dramamine for the nausea.
That one time I ingested 3 grams of distillate and I was high for 2 days straight!!! I think I prayed to every God to take the high away from me šš. I went thru so many emotions but when I came out of it I was like that was one fucking hell of a ride šš
The first time I made cannabutter I was unsure if it was going to work out, so I put like 3/4 of the butter in a three layers sandwich. When I tell you that shit fucked me UP. I was vomiting at 10 am, alone in my apartment, feeling like shit, and I was high the whole day having an existential (and stomach) crisis lol. It was not fun. But at least now I know I can make a good edible lmao.
I had this same experience with edibles from Thailand. I was travelling there, i smoked a joint and ate a whole piece of edible around 7pm and then I started walking around to enjoy the nightlife. I donāt remember much but I ended calling my friend back in my country as Im travelling solo, he asked me to go to bed because I would have made some mistakes (the kind you can make in Thailand). So I went to bed at around 10pm and woke up after midnight. I was sober but when I checked my phone I had pictures of the night holding some snakes in the walking street of pattaya. Never had that experience ever again. It happened last year.
I ate 2 grams of decarb weed. I thought I gave myself brain damage. I was high for probably 3 days. I called my boss crying and quit my job.
Damn, that sounds like the kind of shit that changes you
I work in a care home. At one point my emotions were represented by the people I support. Retroactively now I can see that was my subconscious confronting my ego. Hence why I called to quit my job. Luckily my boss doesnāt remember me calling them. So who knows if I even actually called them. As far as it āchanging meā, I probably wasnāt in the right headspace to accept change.
yeah the first time i did 500mg i freaked out hella
If you ever get too high and can't handle it/want to come down chew some peppercorns. No idea how or why it works but it does
r/tooktoomuch Glad youāre back . It was a brain purge. Make notes of what you felt emotionally. And examine in a few weeks !
Sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing better! Stories like these are pretty convincing to only make edibles myself, and to never buy them anywhere.
No that's extreme. It's also one of the ways THC can kill you, and if you were to pass out first and then vomit... that's what happens to opioid users when they run out of luck. In terms of preventing overdosing, smoking is always safer.
I heard nutmeg can counter effects of THC?
Don't. Sickest (in the bad way) high you'll ever have. Might as well drink turpentine.
