Poor Britney, man. Look at all the life in her eyes in that image. All gone now. Merica.
Also extremely true with mushrooms.
right? I saw this and was like acid too, kids!
The hallucinogens and dissociatives are the real threat here. I can’t help people who are that fucked up over 2 gummies. Maybe you need to do 2 more often.
I already made that mistake once. Incredibly shitty night. Half of one would have had me zoning the fuck out and I ate two …
Pro tip: First time you do edibles, take someone who had edibles before or at least made a joint before. Don’t just be among other other noobs like me.
I was that friend when I came back from college once. A group of friends and I bought 2x brownies each. These suckers were so strong I could smell them from a different room.
Told everyone to just eat 1/4 of one (they were 3"x3") and wait 30 minutes. They all said, “Lol, no. We’ll be fine,” and ate both at once.
They were not fine. It wasn’t their first edible, but this was around the time that really potent weed was hitting the market in our Podunk town and their only experience was ditch weed edibles.
IME, 30 minutes isn’t enough anyway. Gotta wait at least 45 min., 60 to be on the safe side.
And preferably whenever you do drugs for the first time, get a sitter. Everyone being drunk/high/tripping/whatever makes for a poor situation if something does go wrong.
alternatively, maybe don’t be with people with much higher tolerance than yourself. my first time with edibles my friends who were huge potheads and about half my size were taking like 80mg, so I said, “oh, I should be able to do like 50 then, right?” and they did not tell me no
Sounds like my first time with edibles too lmao
How many days until you were able to speak a coherent sentence after that?
I was fine the next day, but I remember almost nothing about that night, and what I do remember from early on in the evening is that I was worried I would get lost on the way to the bathroom
I thought my edible was spiked and got super nervous. Not to mention that I was alone. I made myself go to sleep ASAP and was fortunately fine the next morning
Someone at a festival once gave me an edible, it didn’t do anything. Maybe I should’ve had a second one, because the one not doing anything was a little disappointing.
You need to wait ~45 minutes, then loudly complain “these edibles ain’t shit!”
That’s the activation phrase. The THC in your digestive tract needs to hear that to start working.
Maybe they mixed up their edibles and regular old gummies?
More likely they got sold regular gummies, believing them to be edibles.
Or the company has bad production and QC and each gummy has a random amount of THC.
Some poor kid laughing his ass all the way to a detention and phone call to the parents with no idea why
Careful the next time the opportunity presents itself. The previous experience has little bearing on the next as you have no idea of the efficacy of the random edible.
Or what drugs are actually in it. There are absolutely psychopaths who will waste money lacing shit because they think it’s funny.
You can’t consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?
I feel targeted.
Could some stoner please explain this meme? I have no idea what it means
When consuming edible THC there is a time between when you have consumed the drug and when the drug kicks in. During this time you would wait and not consume more drugs because you will over consume and have a less pleasant experience.
To expand on this, when smoking thc, it will hit immediately, peak within minutes, and last generally about an hour or two. When consuming thc, it will start to kick in between 15-45mins later, peaking in intensity at 1.5-2.5 hours, staying there for about 2 hours, and will still be effective for up to 6 hours after consumption. If you take more within the ramp up period (between 1-3 hours) and end up taking too much, you could be very high for the next 3-4 hours.
I too have been to Jamaica. That second bite of brownie was an experience.
Alternatively, can you say you’ve lived if you’ve never greened out?
The first several times I tried edibles they did nothing. I didn’t know that can just happen to people. So each time, I waited a few days and tried again. But, figuring the last one did literally nothing, I doubled the dose the next time.
I paused at 40mg, wondering if that was really a good idea. It wasn’t. When it hit, time literally stopped. A minute felt like an hour. But I had only myself to blame and I was super high, so I thought it was funny as fuck. I got ready for bed, giggling to myself constantly, then passed the fuck out.
It’s still funny to me, and it always reminds me that mindset is huge. That was the first time I ever tried weed and I could have freaked out, but I just accepted my mistake and laughed at how stupid I was. It makes it a good memory.
The problem with edibles, even store bought ones, is that the actual THC concentration can vary wildly from what’s on the package. And if it’s a pack of gummies or something, it’s not uncommon for each gummy to have a different concentration.
Me, 15 minutes after eating my first edible: this shit doesn’t do anything! I’ll eat a second one!
Me, an hour later: wheeeeeeee!!! chuckles while flying around saturn
Always have a second edible, the first one might get lonely
Too late
Meh, if its a weed edible your fine to take a second.
Unless this is your first weed product ever, or you have weed/paranoia issues, yer fine with a second.
That is highly dependent on the strength of the edible. I’ve had a brownie where half of one was nearly too much and I had been high for 6 years at that point. My other friends didn’t listen to me and ate two of them and had a horrible time (they weren’t lightweights either).
Always eat half and wait 30 minutes.
Homemades? Ill agree those vary in strength. I was buying premade weed coconut oil back in the day and making cookies, I always warned people to start with a half. Very rarely was I listened too, they ALWAYS agreed with me after.
To be clear these were stoners who just got too stoned. I was moving slow like I was on Xanax! I feel asleep! Where the main complaints.
Yes people, their are great reasons to be careful with homemade or storebrought edibles, and yea if it aint working it probably just hasnt started yet. But also, going to sleep early is usually the main problem with too much weed. Maybe cancelling plans cause couch and blanket is better than anything else.
When I made my first homemade butter I thought I’d start low, melted some of it over my pasta, watched some movie for a while and got so incredibly stoned, I can not remember much of what happened next. My dog decided to take me for a walk, we visited friends having a BBQ (he got a sausage) and I had hallucinations of… sheep? Like I was hearing sheep everywhere apparently and I was barely able to communicate between the giggling.
Through deduction and clever thinking I managed to come to the conclusion that I indeed did not start low, but blasted my head off with some very potent girl scout cookies butter.
Sounds awesome. I hope that wasnt a bad experience.
Mixed bag. It was fun, but I wondered how to get out of it. But after six hours it was over 😅
Sure but it’s a waste of money. After a certain point it stops being enjoyable.
Also at a certain point it becomes actively unpleasant. Like yeah, an evening of nausea as the world spins and time goes slow won’t harm me, but it will suck more than not being high
Id have to disagree for me personally, but yea I see your point it might be a waste of money for you (whoever this hypothetical person is)
I miss the cheap ass ditch weed of my youth. My tolerance is insanely low. One hit of anything nowadays and I’m too stoned and hate it :(
Right? Bring back the days where you could reasonably smoke two joints.
I remember hanging with a buddy, and our third friend shows up with, lol and behold, three blunts. These were those blunt wraps that we got back in the day, so three gram blunts with all sorts of nasty grape flavored chemicals. I’m trying to remember what they were called.
Anyway, me and first buddy are both like, oh boy, that’s hefty for just three dudes, and the third buddy said something that we would go on to quote for many years: What’s going to happen to you? And so we smoked those blunts, and yeah, we were incredibly baked, but he was right, nothing happened.
That logic does not apply today. You will fall off the earth.
I no longer smoke weed.
When I was 16, my buddies each bought an ounce of weed for my birthday party. 3 ounces of weed, like 7 of us partying total. Smoked it all that night.
Was named beyond belief, but no adverse effects. Just super stoned and having a great time.
I take 2 hits off my buddy’s fucking high tech ruby dab thingamabob and I am so fucking high that I hate life and I want to die
Blend it with some high CBD flower! Something that I learned when I started growing was that most of the strains now are so intense be cause we’ve bred basically all of the CBD out of these new strains. Mixing with some CBD flower will help make it more mild, and possibly reduce side effects like anxiety.
Oh, good idea!
Idk if strains are, like, universified or whatever, but there’s this one strain of CBD we used to order from laughing lion in CO called Chem Dawg. Best shit ever. It felt like what smoking felt like when I was a teenager. It was pretty awesome. I’ll bet a 90/10 mix of that and some actual weed would be awesome!
