    I will not, I will avoid weed in all it’s forms because it makes me panic and be seriously uncomfortable for the entire time.

    Now cocaine makes me shut the fuck up and sit relaxed and happy, cocaine turns off all those demons in my brain and I can just live the way you all live without hate for myself, without having a voice telling me I’m not good and I should kill myself.

    Alcohol helps!

    I don’t need or want any help, I’ve done coke 3 times in my life and it’s been 2 years since I last did it.

    Real depression and anxiety at the level that baby boomers decided weren’t real are F#&king awful.

    I encourage everyone to not have parents like mine!

    FYI I find the dose in store bought edibles are generally poorly mixed. It’s very common for one to have 2-3x the effect for me. I’ve tried many brands.

    That’s why I take an edible at around 1/2 my desired effect, which for me is only 2mg, an hour before I want the effect and then take a vape to increase it to the preferred level. Reduces the amount of shit going in my lungs but makes the effect way more controllable.

      Are you sure it’s not you? I know what you’re talking about, but the way that they hit can be highly variable, depending on stomach contents and all kinds of factors. The store-bought gummies at the dispo by me are highly-regulated. There’s no way they’re not homogeneous. Your stuff might be different though.

      It’s either this or “last time nothing happened, so this time I’ll take 5 and make sure something happens”.

    I took one of those super strong edibles one time, it was one of those unregulated THC varieties. I was high for 3 days straight. I was not a happy camper.

        I lost a ton of weight (80 pounds or so). I lost religion after growing up hyper-religious. I just…became more myself. Hell, it even made me stop biting my nails for like 6 months, but that one didn’t stick. It got harder in some ways as a result, but yes, huge improvements overall. And it was like 10 years ago, at this point, so not like a “two weeks ago” deal.

      Asking for myself cause I want to retry the shrooms. Microdosing or macrodosing helped you?

        Both have been helpful, but the big one was macrodosing once years ago. We visited Amsterdam. Three of us were supposed to split the mushrooms. Once I’d taken mine, my then-wife and her sister decided to chicken out and get ready for bed. Dick move. Since mine weren’t yet kicking in, they encouraged me to take the rest. Dick move. Then they did, in fact, kick in. I cried for like 4 hours straight that night. They kicked my ass in exactly the way I needed and I felt like a new person the next day. It was the closest thing to a religious experience I’ve had.

    Back around 2015 I went to Amsterdam.

    Now I don’t really use the marijuana, but have.

    But I did want to eat a brownie while there as part of the experience.

    I met up with some other gals at a hostel. We all went to a famous coffee shop. Has a bulldog logo (?) It was super packed. But there was a big table of a few other young ladies and we asked if we could join. So we hung out with them the rest of the evening.

    I got my brownie. And of course I had read about dosage and such online before hand. Cause I was traveling alone and you gotta be smart about drug use as a tourist.

    The guide online said that the effects take a pretty long time to kick in. Some reporting an hour or even longer. But that the potency of THC in this particular brownie from this shop was very high. And was suggested to not eat more than one and not smoke and eat the brownie too.

    As I’m chatting up with these new friends, I notice one has a half eaten brownie in front of her , while she is also smoking.

    So I say. “Hey I read online …dosage…yada yada”

    And she’s like. “Oh shit. Really ?” But in a German accent cause she was German.

    She then told me she already ate a full brownie. That one of the other girls didn’t finish hers, so she was finishing it off.

    And I was like…

    “Guuuurrll. Be careful getting back to your hostel.”

    When we left we split up into two groups. There was like 10 of us. And we walked each other back to our hostels. I was with 2 other people going to a different hostel and 2 going back to mine (same room, which is how I met them).

    Idk what happened to the German girl. But here is what happened to me and my group.

    After we dropped off the 2 other ladies at their hostel we headed to ours.

    The brownies started to kick in. And ramped up fast. We had all had one. And then one of the girls had also smoked. So one of us was practically non functional while two of us near that point.

    We started getting really confused about how to get back to the hostel. It was pretty late by then. No busses or trams running. We were walking. Gps sucked balls back then. But that’s what we used.

    All the canals looked the same. We had to keep stopping to sit down . Because we were so fucked up. We’re we walking in circles. Had we came this way already. ?

    I have never been so high in my life. And I definitely had overdone it a few times as a teen but it was nothing like this.

    We kept questioning if that was the same boat or different. Idk. Somehow we did finally make it back.

    The next morning one of them woke me up to ask if I wanted to go to the anne frank house. I was like. Fuck no.

    It was so surreal. Like anne fucking frank. !?!

    I can’t handle anne fucking Frank like this. You know?

    I Slept until like 3pm. I was also dealing with time change cause I’m from the Midwest U.S. but yeah. So I missed them and they were going back to Spain after anne frank house. so I never saw them again or got their info. :/. Cool people tho.

    But omg. I still wonder about that German chick. Damn.

    She was with a group going to her hostel but I bet she had a rough time. Brownie had to have kicked in before ours did. 🫪

    Yes and its also important that you don’t punch yourself in the junk when someone messes with you by telling you your junk is out when it isn’t but you are so high you can’t tell and you attempt to check. Just sayin

    Sometimes I have a moment of slight regret after taking an edible. Once you’ve chewed and swallowed it, there’s that moment where you don’t feel high yet but it is now inevitable that you’re going to get high, it’s too late to change your mind

      I get that with acid. “What if my set or setting is wrong‽” Then I remind myself I did my check ins before taking it and that the only way out is through. Then when I start getting horny I feel fine

      Every single time I have an edible, there’s this moment where I think to myself, “I’m on the ride now. No getting off until it’s over.” It kinda helps because I’m acknowledging that feeling, but also reassuring myself that this will be fun, and even if it isn’t, it will end.

      Kinda the same as getting to the top of a really big waterside.

      You’ve officially made your choice. It was something you wanted to do and it’s honestly going to be fun and there’s really nothing to regret. But you have made your choice.

        Precisely, you know you’re in for a good time and you don’t regret it, but at the same time it’s a little scary and you can’t back out now even if you wanted to

          I mean if you just go to sleep before it kicks in that’s pretty much backing out. You might have some weird dreams or a trippy walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But if you really regret it and want to just skip the fun, just go lay down in the dark and close your eyes. Maybe put some quiet chill music on if that helps you sleep.

      I have never gotten high from an edible. It’s just dose dependent drowsiness, like taking Benadryl. Apparently some people don’t metabolize the cannabinoids correctly via the oral route.

        Same. I will be mildly but happily stoned, have a good sleep for a few hours and then wake up desperately reaching for a waste bin or bag. The worst flu symptoms until I go back to sleep. And then I’m fine. I may need to reconsider my habit.

      Happened to me the first several times I took edibles. I guess that’s a thing? I didn’t know, so I just figured I hadn’t had enough. I doubled it and still nothing. Figured if I literally felt nothing, it’s probably safe to double again. Still nothing. So I doubled it for a third time. I did think 40mg was probably too much, but this was try number four and I was wondering if it would ever work at all.

      Oh it did.

      I’ve never again been that absurdly high. But I was at home safe, amused by my own stupidity, and now it’s a fun memory. I guess technically I did handle it, so my i thinking wasn’t too far off. But I can get plenty high off 20 now. It just took a few tries to kick in.

    I had two and thought it wasn’t working. Took a third.

    Spent an unknown amount of time frozen in my chair because I could feel the air too much on my skin.

    Give it a second, kids.
