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.

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.
