I’ve had a terrible trip once. Smoked a whole joint when I was 14 in highschool. I hugged my friends arm who didn’t smoke any of it and begged him to walk me home (we were also ditching class for the first time lol). I lived right behind an elementary school and just as we were approaching, they let all the tots out. Pure paranoia as every kid is staring into my soul. Once we got there, I realized I couldn’t be home or I’d get in trouble so I asked him to walk me back to school. Back up the hill we went just for me to turn around and go home because school ended.

I had a similar experience to yours from a J once though. Shared between 3 people but it knocked me out. Had to lay down in an alley for what felt like 15 minutes, probably like 2 tops. My visuals were completely disorienting and it felt like the ends of the alley were getting perpetually farther, like a cursed toilet bowl at 3 am. We all shimmied to Tim Hortons and had some donuts. They were unreal.

What’s important to consider here in this post is type and dosage. Edibles are volatile as is. Homebrew browies or cookies has the added bonus of being difficult to spread equal dosage to, so some bites might be mind-killers while others might not even effect you at all. And if you don’t consume, you really shouldn’t be having more than 10mg of THC, where I’ve had some brownies that sit at 200mg per square. That’s why I like thc-sugar candies. Limited surface area = hard-capped dosage.

Beyond that, you must contend with your tummy’s digestive state, blood flow (working out etc), additional narcotics that can play off each other like alcohol (don’t mix!)… It’s not as wickedly complicated as I might be making it out to be, just don’t consume when you’re hungry or working out etc.

What did you take, do you know?

Mine are mostly paranoia. I’ve been fairly lucky to only have been smoking since it’s been legal here, so nothing laced and I can generally tailor what I feel.

But a really strong sativa will almost always send me into a meltdown around a few mistakes in my life and then I get to spend the next hour or so trying to rationalize my way out of it.

Early on when I started smoking, my friends and I hotboxed the shit out of my car sitting in my driveway. I got super high and started staring at a tree down the street that was perfectly under the street lamp. I started tripping off paradolia and seeing all kinds of faces in the tree. Friends, family, Optimus Prime, Satan, etc.

I’ve never really hallucinated, though. Not even when I took shrooms a couple times. All those did was make me feel really drunk, like I drank an entire 5th of jack or something. Sick and wobbly, with the spins.

I been wanting to try LSD but fuck if I know how to get any. And after reading a bunch of hippy books about ayahuasca, I wanna experience that shit too; but that is probably never gonna happen. I want to hallucinate. I want to trip balls and see some shit. Nothing I’ve ever done has really given that. Not even a sensory deprivation tank. I feel completely stuck in reality, and I’m not cool with that. I want some motherfucking whimsy in my life.

The experience depends a lot on your tolerance. If that was your first time, you definitely had to much. The problem with edibles is the dosing as the trip comes late and stays long. Smoking or vaporizing gives you the quickest results and you get out of it in a reasonable time. I’m consuming since 30 years. Mainly joints and also from time to time edibles.

If you want to give it again a try, you might take only a nug of the size of a pea. That’s enough to get a comfy high.

PS: avoid weed containing other than THC.

First couple times I tried to get high I literally felt nothing

Eventually I tried THC pills + edibles and got very very high. Memory is hazy but, it was a real fun time lol

But when I woke up the next morning, I was completely out of it. I got up and sat at the table for breakfast my gf prepared and I straight up fell out of my chair, slammed my head into the ground, and (I don’t remember this, but she does) started shaking on the ground.

Woke up a few minutes later confused and sore. Went back to bed and woke up a few hours later feeling mostly normal

How much did you take?

Can’t really give you more conversation without that info.

Just cannabis? I’ve never had a psychedelic response, though large or strong hits can knock you on your ass for a few minutes. If you were hallucinating, then your tolerance is probably low (or, the edibles could be more potent than normal). I have friends that eat 1/4 to 1/2 a 5g gummy and that’s good for them. My tolerance is high enough that I can eat 4-5 whole and not bat an eye. Some people also have built-in tolerances (or lack thereof), so it’s best to start small and work your way up to a comfortable level.

Personally, I don’t bother with edibles because they can be unpredictable and dwell in your system longer than you may want them to. If you do, get the fast-acting ones that kick in 15-30 minutes (made with live rosin), so you can gauge their effectiveness before taking more. They’re good for plane flights and other public venues where you can’t vape or smoke.

I personally dislike edibles. It’s hard for me to measure & time them even with labeled dosages. Vaporizer definitely tastes better than combustion and you can customize temps to dial in on effects, allegedly. I say allegedly because I primarily do CBD dominant flower now, which is occasional.

Years ago, right after an insurance provider change that resulted in loss of coverage on two meds I was on (stimulant+stimulant adjacent for adhd), I was offered some of a blunt. I didn’t even smoke an obscene amount but my short term memory tanked so hard that words would just fall out of my head the moment after I had heard them, or thought them. I was in my neighborhood but not home and couldn’t string together sentences to text. I barely managed to remember “GET HOME” and when I did it was like I was trapped in my brain with no way to communicate. It was just gone.

I have been very careful ever since not to have too much and if I want more than a gentle buzz I only opt for certain indicas.

cw: sexual assault and nonconsensual drugging

I was drugged by someone who I thought I could trust to give me enough weed to get me high but not lose my mind. Instead, they drugged me and I honestly don’t know with what. The situation was dangerous enough I never bothered to ask, never thought to get tested. But I believe they may have had access to ketamine and who knows what else.

They shotgunned (they inhaled and passed it to me via mouth) me a massive lungful of what I assumed was weed and I genuinely lost all touch with reality >!while they proceeded to rape me (with another person whom I was not familiar with and I assumed was sober).!<

For context, at this time I was vaping and taking edibles pretty regularly, so my tolerance wasn’t that low for me. It clearly was much lower than tolerance of the one who shotgunned me though.

I was so high I couldn’t see straight, and I fell into a deep disassociation and may have blacked out. I only remember slivers of consciousness as it rolled over me for what seemed like hours.

I later puked after I had gone through most of the trip.

I’ve had times on weed where I latched onto a thought and it spiraled into this infinitesimal void of paranoia that only lasts a short while. The few times it happened was from shotgun bong rips.

Honestly, I find comfort in it. I feel like I have undiagnosed ADHD or something because even in those paranoid states, it doesn’t turn me off of the drug. The other 99% of the time it quiets my mind and I don’t spiral into depression or suicidal thoughts.
