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.

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 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 tha...

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

Sure but it's a waste of money. After a certain point it stops being enjoyable.

Id have to disagree for me personally, but yea I see your point it might be a waste of money for you (whoever this hypothetical person is)

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.

Homemades? Ill agree those vary in strength. I was buying premade weed coconut oil back in the day and making cookies, I always warned people to start with a half. Very rarely was I listened too, they ALWAYS agreed with me after.

To be clear these were stoners who just got too stoned. I was moving slow like I was on Xanax! I feel asleep! Where the main complaints.

Yes people, their are great reasons to be careful with homemade or storebrought edibles, and yea if it aint working it probably just hasnt started yet. But also, going to sleep early is usually the main problem with too much weed. Maybe cancelling plans cause couch and blanket is better than anything else.

I'm told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are "this shit ain't doing anything".

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.

It is likely that your stomach is too acidic, that's why they didn't work on me. Eat it with something alkaline.

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.

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 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.

When I made my first homemade butter I thought I'd start low, melted some of it over my pasta, watched some movie for a while and got so incredibly stoned, I can not remember much of what happened next. My dog decided to take me for a walk, we visited friends having a BBQ (he got a sausage) and I had hallucinations of... sheep? Like I was hearing sheep everywhere apparently and I was barely able to communicate between the giggling.

Through deduction and clever thinking I managed to come to the conclusion that I indeed did not start low, but blasted my head off with some very potent girl scout cookies butter.

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 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?

Literally every edible horror story I've heard starts with "I took one but I wasn't feeling it, so I took another one..."

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 ha...

SSRIs and the like will mess with shrooms. It varies by person, like all this stuff, but you generally need like twice as much. On meds, I got a nice high out of 4.5g. Off meds, I get hit harder than that from 2g. Shroom potency also varies a lot, so it's not that odd to just have a dud.

Edibles took me several tries to feel anything, but did eventually just start working. They don't for some people, so that is possible, but it could just take a few tries. I think it was 4-5 for me.

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 ...

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

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!

That's also why you should keep some other delicious snacks handy. Sometimes you start feeling good and crave another brownie :)

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!

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.
