The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.
That's how you learn your limits
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.
I don't know, just makes me sleepy
I'm told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are "this shit ain't doing anything".
Can confirm
Had a dream of eating an edible and tripping balls.
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.
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.
I knew I shouldn't have taken that pill from the sketchy dude with cool glasses!
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 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?
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.

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 be cause 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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

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)
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.
