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.
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 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
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.
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 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.
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?
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.
I'm told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are "this shit ain't doing anything".
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 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.
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 because 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.
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.
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.
Literally every edible horror story I've heard starts with "I took one but I wasn't feeling it, so I took another one..."
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.
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
I too have been to Jamaica. That second bite of brownie was an experience.
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.
Sure but it's a waste of money. After a certain point it stops being enjoyable.
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.
Always have a second edible, the first one might get lonely
That's also why you should keep some other delicious snacks handy. Sometimes you start feeling good and crave another brownie :)
Well it really didn't work for me. My psychiatrist told me it's not impossible since my medication do make me resistant to some types of drugs.
I was in amsterdam and since all my friends were smoking (i don't know how to smoke anything and am super alergic) I decided to joi the fun and had an edible. They gave me only half, but a couple of hours later nothing had happened so I ate the other half. Well... still nothing happened. So I just went to sleep.
Btw I ate a couple of magic mushrooms (ate them raw, so idk) and also, nothing.... So this was tested with a couple different of drugs.
To this day I never had the "on drugs" experience (besides my medication that is awesome lol)
Unless 3 hours have passed.
Can confirm
The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.
Too late
