have you ever taken edibles? what was your experience?

Went out with my friend for a night on the town yesterday. Everything was going great until I had some of his edible candy. Did not feel the effects until 40 minutes to an hour later. We were eating at a restaurant and I started feeling weird. Felt like I was drunk but way worst. Had little control over my body, as if my body and mind were reacting at different speeds. At one point I could not stop chewing and felt like I was gonna choke. On the way back home why on the train, people were having conversations with us. I was still feeling the effects a lot but was still able to communicate. Everything was in slow motion so I am not sure how I looked like to them. Just hoping I did not tell them any personal info, even though I remember most of the things that we talked about. I will never take edibles again and will stick to drinking. I don't like having full control of my mind and body. Some moments I felt like I was gonna lose it. But did not wanna appear crazy in front of people and tried my best to stay calm and normal.

I take edibles daily (1/4 of a 100mg gummy). They help with my anxiety tremendously, I used to be so stressed and couldn't even leave the house without a panic attack. But since using edibles, I can live a pretty normal life. I firmly believe marijuana should be legalized all over the country because it is so helpful without the harsh side effects of prescription meds.

@DearAmbellina2113 is there 10 in the package? How much do you pay? It’s pretty pricey up here, I don’t get them often.

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

The problem with edibles is that it's way way way way way too easy to take an incredibly high dose and fuck up your night because it lasts a long time and is extremely unpleasant.

I enjoy edibles, but I never do more than 10mg because I know I'd have a bad time.

@Straylight wow that sounds like a lot

Straylight · 31-35, F

@skip2mylou I took half of one.

Jeephikelove · 51-55, F

@Straylight 10 mg will give a person a nice high

SW-User

i took too much and had a panic attack that lasted 4 hours lol

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@SW-User how did the panic attacks feel?

metaldog

@skip2mylou like hell I'm sure

SW-User

@skip2mylou mostly like my skin was crawling and i couldn't breathe. along with the floaty, disorienting mind/body disconnect feeling that you were talking about. genuinely thought i was going to die

Straylight · 31-35, F

The thing with edibles is it feels like the high lasts too long. I have other things to do.
But maybe I’m just too accustomed to the high I get from a joint.

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@Straylight The high lasted way longer than I expected

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@skip2mylou I always do them at night when I've got nothing better to do. 10:00 p.m. on is Hulu, PS4, and gummy time.

PrincessRoarBuddy · F

What?!

"drugs" you mean?

Nah never done that shizzle and never want to 🙅🏼‍♀️

Not my kinda thing

and seen someone really ill during night out somewhere as he took something 🤦‍♀️ was worried.

edibles can be extremely potent. i only trust the ones i make. they're potent, too, but i know how to divide them. one brownie recipe is good for 48 servings. i wrap each individually and then put in a freezer bag and store in the freezer with a warning on the label. a newbie would do good with half a piece... maybe even a fourth. they are so good but you can't have more than that or else too high

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

@SW-User so, do you cook the stuff in butter before making the brownies.

SW-User

@Tastyfrzz i use a small crock pot to make an oil/butter/ghee (whichever you prefer) infusion (start on high, reduce to low after 30 mins, let infuse for at least another hour and half. i've gone as long as 4 hours by accident) adding 1 tsp more than the recipe calls for to make up for the loss with straining out the solids.

Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M

I put a Q in some brownies, ate the entire tray, was giggling at nothing for like 2 days

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@Ryannnnnn Wow, that is wild. Neve had an experience like this before

MamaButterfly · F

Edibles can be extremely dangerous and scary, it depends on how much you take and the milligrams of thc in the edible. It'll creep up on you. When taking an edible it is best to know your tolerance level.
I live in NY where it is now legal, I also live near a reservation so it is easily accessible here too. I have had them before but only a few times. I think there is a difference between a body high and a head high (I think).
My fiancé has a bad back and a bad knee and only one lung and because he has only one lung he cannot smoke it, so he wanted to get an edible for his knee and back pain. He said it was nightmare and slept for nearly two days, but that was because after he took the first one, he said he didn't feel anything so he took another one. He said he would never take another one again. He hasn't since.

reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M

@MamaButterfly what I find weird about many brands of edibles is that they are presented in a way which makes it easy to overdose. a friend of mine ordered these gummies online and one bag had 4 gummies with 250mg each !!!! those i buy are 10mg per gummy so its easy to take just the right amount, I'll even sometime take one plus half of another. but with those other kinds how can someone dose themseves properly, a strong dose for me is 30mg, you would need to split those other ones in eight equal parts !! to be safe, it can take a few days to discover the proper dose for you: one day you take 5mg, see where it gets you. if its wasnt enough the next day you try 10, and so on but never take more in the same evening. THC in large amounts is considered a halucinogen, it can get really heavy if you take too much but when you hit your perfect dose its very pleasant.

@reflectingmonkey @reflectingmonkey
They are yes. Where I live, there are any kind of edible you can find from skittles to cookies to coffee and tea. If you take a few skittles or eat a couple cookies without knowing the dosage of how much you are ingesting can be dangerous. I've heard recently that because of the candy like edibles are a target for children.
I honestly wouldn't trust ordering anything online, because you don't know if they are laced with something, like fentanyl or heroin. That is what I have heard.

reflectingmonkey · 51-55, M

like anything you need to know what amount is good for you and stick to that amount. i only take edibles if they are made with distilate or shatter (the one I prefer because its full-spectrum) and that i can take a measure amount. ideal dose for me is between 10mg (mild) to 30mg(strong). I never take homemade edibles because they're unpredictable. what you are describing is very unusual, I think that not only was the dose way off you but I suspect your body doesn't process canabinoids very well and you should probably stay away from them because I've taken massive doses where I had mild halucinations and a bit of dificulty keeping my balance and it was still enjoyable.

SW-User

I have never had it .

It's not legal here yet.

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@SW-User It's quite the experience.

RedBaron · M

@SW-User That doesn’t stop most people.

SW-User

@RedBaron True.

Ynotisay · M

I'm almost 100 percent sure you were fine. If you're not used to the feeling then a level of paranoia is typical. It's your call to not do them again but the thing about drugs is the environment you're in. Going out in to public that way with people, if you're not used to the feeling, isn't usually a good call. Staying home, or someplace where you can control the environment, will deliver a different experience.

Queendragonfly · 31-35, F

I haven't tried and I'm not especially motivated to either, let's just say I'm not suprised that it has negative effects. I know several who takes them to relax or sleep better, and the day after they always feel super anxious all day. So they take ut again to numb that anxiety, and then the say after, new anxiety again and that's the evil edible circle.

First of all edibles are totally different than marijuana that's smoked. Chemically it becomes a different drug. Way more potent! Then add alcohol. Marijana intensifies the affects of alcohol. When you are not experienced juggling marijuana and alcohol it's like drinking 6 drinks for every one drink you actually have.

Adogslife · 61-69, M

I’m not a fan of big crowds. As an example, at the last Celtics game I simply took a 5mg gummy about 20 minutes before going in. It simply relaxed me without any side effects and I was still able to thoroughly enjoy the game.

minxy · 46-50, F

I've had pot pies, macaroni and cheese and brownies with some weed mixed in.
They're considered edible.
The high took an hour to kick in but it lasted longer than smoking it without the food.

Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M

I take 10mg gummy most nights. They help me fall asleep but i still wake up shortly after
My doctor wants me to start taking a 50mg to try and help me sleep all night Gonna try this weekend.

Penny · 46-50, F

im only good for about 5-10mg of edibles i think. anymore and its uncomfortable. even at 5 mg i always end up passing out lol. not crazy about them at all i prefer to smoke

SW-User

One's body needs to get accostomed to the effects. Also best to start out with just a small amount, low dose. I've yet to try any but smoke weed daily..

SW-User

I'm too freaked out to try them ...the thought of not being in control of my body freaks me out

caccoon · 36-40

It is very important to know the dosage. Starting at 2.5mg is recommended, and not with drinking.

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@caccoon thanks, I think my friend gave me too much.

caccoon · 36-40

@skip2mylou yeah, bad stuff has only ever happened to me when I didn't know the dosage

SW-User

no, and never will. I hate drugs

bijouxbroussard · F

Yes, but I take them only for sleep, and I take a small amount. I don’t use cannabis for anything else, because I don’t like their effects as a "high".

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@bijouxbroussard I understand, I think I took too much last time.

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

I've had edibles and made my own brownies.
But I'm not too fond of edibles, because like Scrof said it's really to take too much. I'm s simple man, I stick to joints.

DDonde · 31-35, M

No, but I am curious about it.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

Yeah, you definitely want to try them at home first, so you can get a feel for how much of a dose your body can handle.

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@LordShadowfire I agree, don't plan to take anymore though.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@skip2mylou I only do edibles now. I don't smoke anymore, because I'm worried about this chronic cough that won't go away.

skip2mylou · 31-35, M

@LordShadowfire sorry to hear about the chronic cough

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I had a gummy and then it hit me and I had to lay down because the room was spinning and I felt so paranoid. Never again.

Lilnonames · F

I took a 500mg and Iwas seeing fairies flying around and talking to me. Plus dogs and cats kept coming up to me and licking me. If I closed my eyes the dogs would jump at me. Never again

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

@Lilnonames what were they saying?
