This came about 18 years too late for me 🤣
The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.
That’s also why you should keep some other delicious snacks handy. Sometimes you start feeling good and crave another brownie :)
I don’t know, just makes me sleepy
Can confirm
Literally every edible horror story I’ve heard starts with “I took one but I wasn’t feeling it, so I took another one…”
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.
Had a dream of eating an edible and tripping balls.
Been there done that.
Edit: edibles do shit for me. I smoked one joint and puffed furiously. Had a stomach ache AND a bad trip. Not a good start. Edibles also give me heart burn and they aren’t fun. Music doesn’t get more interesting and I dont get any funky visions.
Magic mushrooms on the other hand…
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Did you try heating it before eating?
Eating it before heating?
Have you tried a beverage?
