The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.
That’s how you learn your limits
That’s also why you should keep some other delicious snacks handy. Sometimes you start feeling good and crave another brownie :)
Literally every edible horror story I’ve heard starts with “I took one but I wasn’t feeling it, so I took another one…”
I don’t know, just makes me sleepy
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.
Can confirm
I’m told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are “this shit ain’t doing anything”.
Had a dream of eating an edible and tripping balls.
Poor Britney, man. Look at all the life in her eyes in that image. All gone now. Merica.
I consume THC primarily through edibles so I am often the guy people come to for their first time getting high. I give new users 5mg and I tell them to wait for an hour. For first timers it can take a little longer for them to notice. Sometimes I will make sure they get up and do some jumping jacks or something to get that blood moving.
If after one hour a new user is not reporting feeling any different from 5mg I will give them 5mg more and tell them not to take another gummy for at least 5 hours. I would say 95% of the time that second 5mg they do start to feel it properly.
I should note that everyone is different and some people will not ever feel 5mg and some people (like my father) take 2.5mg because that’s all he needs. After doing this for years with a lot of people I feel confident in saying that 5mg and an hour wait should work on 75% of people.
My little sister who weighs next to nothing compared to me barely notices 10mg so your milage may vary. It’s a bit like alcohol. Some people get drunk off one glass of wine. Some people need a whole bottle to feel anything. Always take it slow your first time and it’s ok if you don’t feel anything the first time. There is almost nothing worse than going way too far on your first time with THC. My brother did that for me and I was coughing and throwing up for like 20 minutes before I basically passed out in the backyard.
well fuck, so yeah they just don’t work for me
last time I tried I took 30mg in an hour and I couldn’t tell if what I felt (calmness) was placebo or just because it was a beautiful fresh snowy evening
I avoided this mistake by giving up (I only had two with me anyway). It took six hours to feel my buzz and it only lasted a few minutes.
I actually can’t get high from edibles. It really sucks, I’ve always wanted to experience it since people say it’s different. I’ve tested myself by eating 3g of RSO. Probably once a year I’ll eat 1g to see if anything a changed and it never does.
You’re not missing much. It’s like the difference between getting trashed on red wine vs. beer. More of a body buzz.
You wanna feel amazing do bottlera through the nose that shit wrecks your brain. I will never be able to get as high as I did as a teenager because of that.
Dude, you’re not gonna believe this but hear me out. You are high right now. This isn’t real. Lemmy isn’t real. You ate some shrooms and have been high for what may feel like a year now. Its not been a year. You’re in your room on your bed. Its 10PM. Its July 2025.
No. You’re high. You think it’s the year 1999. It’s actually closer to the year 2199. You’ve been living in a dream world.
I knew I shouldn’t have taken that pill from the sketchy dude with cool glasses!
It is likely that your stomach is too acidic, that’s why they didn’t work on me. Eat it with something alkaline.
Edibles are bizarre.
I switched to edibles-only right around Covid because… well, I was scared of Covid and compromising my lungs seemed like a luxury I couldn’t afford anymore (well, I probably couldn’t in the first place but that isn’t the point). RSO strictly does not work for me, as you’ve said — I have eaten copious amounts of RSO sober and it just doesn’t do shit.
Many of the dispensary edibles I tried simply didn’t work. I’m not sure if it has something to do with legislation not being strict on quality control, or if I got scammed, or if there’s something magical and abnormal about my stomach acid – I do not know.
Point is, I had to try many edibles before I actually found a brand of them that got me to where I wanted to be. You might be facing something similar, you could always try creating pot brownies yourself from scratch — unless you have.
Have you tried a beverage?
Did you try heating it before eating?
Eating it before heating?
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.
How much, lol?
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 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.
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
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 :(
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!
Oh yeah, Chem Dawg is a strain of THC cannabis as well. I would hope that the name means they crossbred a THC plant with something like Cannabis Ruderalis to make a low-THC version but who knows, they might have just picked a name they like!
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
