I’ve never smoked and I’ve only done edibles once. And it was by and large the worst experience of my life. I literally walked to a corner in the kitchen sat down and asked people to not let me get up because I was having thoughts of throwing myself out of the window.

So I just sat there with my senses completely messed up. Hallucinating ( I don’t think you are supposed to right? ) and completely trapped in a trip I did not want to be in and wondering if I died and gone to hell and that’s how my brain was coping with dying.

So yeah. Not a good time.

I’m wondering what everyone else’s experience is.

And is it luck that causes you to have a good or bad trip? Is it something we can influence ?

    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.

      Just cannabis?

      I think so

      It was from a legal large store. I’d be Very surprised if it was laced.

      And yeah … I prob should have done way less. 30mg was way too much.
