I'm told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are "this shit ain't doing anything".
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.
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.
Literally every edible horror story I've heard starts with "I took one but I wasn't feeling it, so I took another one..."
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.
The warning is futile. Everyone that partakes will do it at least once.
That's how you learn your limits
That's also why you should keep some other delicious snacks handy. Sometimes you start feeling good and crave another brownie :)
Unless 3 hours have passed.
Can confirm
Poor Britney, man. Look at all the life in her eyes in that image. All gone now. Merica.
Had a dream of eating an edible and tripping balls.
I don't know, just makes me sleepy
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Maybe they mixed up their edibles and regular old gummies?
More likely they got sold regular gummies, believing them to be edibles.
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...
