Made some weed waffles a couple of weeks ago. I made four of them in total with the leftover vaporised weed from my vape. The waffles weren't that big, so I assumed my fiancée and I would both need two to feel anything. She's usually a little more cautious and ate one whereas I ate the other three in one sitting.

It didn't kick as hard as I had expected, but I got some high out of it by midnight. When I fell asleep, I was still high, but it was a manageable level. Went to sleep and woke up at 5:30 for school and I was just so fucking zooted. I've never had that happen to me before - usually I'd be sober after I've slept. I was so high that I had to call in sick for school because I just wouldn't have been able to function. Went back to sleep and slept it of eventually, but yea. These edibles were shit in the end

My dad once ate half of a 100mg brownie in the shape of a lollipop. He legitimately thought he was going to die. He was okay, but it was a terrifying experience for him. He sticks to gummies now, since it's easier to control the portions.

[–] presoak@lazysoci.al 2 points 6 days ago

Been there.

A large dose of weed is a hallucinogen.

[–] ShergalFarkey@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

The medical prescription only weed is fantastic for edibles.

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

First time I ever got high was when my boss at the time gave me a huge ass brownie. I took it home, and my husband warned me to only eat part. I said "pfft, who eats half a brownie?" and demolished the whole thing.

Anyway, a bit later I had to warn him everything I was gonna say going forward was stupid, and then asked if I was rocking back and forth. Which I was! I did not sleep well that night lmao.

[–] mech@feddit.org 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I never understood why people don't just put less weed in brownies.
It's always "eat one and be blazed out of your mind".
Why not make them so you can eat 5?

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Most of my friends here aren't into edibles, and making small batches with too little just doesn't seem worth it. So I'm ending up taking a few hundred mg at a time so the food I make doesn't go bad before I can eat it.

When I'm in Amsterdam at an event, meeting up with friends there, edibles are sometimes handed out so much. Over Halloween I had around 1g of THC in edibles, that was fun but I don't recommend it for most people.

A long, long time ago my friends baked a batch of brownies. One of them had managed to buy a batch of "really good weed" and dumped it all into the batter. I wasn't present during the baking, but when I got offered one I could tell just by the smell that it was STRONG.

I ate just one small brownie while we watched Pulp Fiction. My friends ate 2-3 each. "There's something wrong with these, I'm not feeling anything", they said.

By the time the film ended my friends were giggling and squirming on the couch. Coherent speech was far beyond them. I was also pretty high, but with a little bit of focus still in full control of my abilities. I brewed a fresh pot of strong coffee, drank a few cups and kept watch for an hour or two. It took a lot of effort, but I got my friends to drink some water and I walked/dragged each to the toilet, so they wouldn't soil the couch.

Then I made sure everyone was resting comfortably and walked home. It was a warm summer night and I remember vividly how awesome all the sounds and smells felt on that long walk.

Next morning I called to check up on them and everyone was feeling great, but not one of them had any idea what had happened after the 3rd act of the film.

My mum got some mushrooms at a local market, and made a nice spaghetti with it.

That night we all had really intense dreams

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Before weed was legal and you had to make your own edibles, my buddy made a batch of cookies for our fantasy football draft. I don't know how he made these things, but they tasted like pure weed. Barely edible because they were so strong.

At least that's what I thought. Another buddy of mine somehow didn't taste the weed at all and thought they were pretty weak. So when most of us could barely choke down one cookie, this dude ate three of them.

To this day, I've never seen someone get so high. He ended up trying to sleep in the middle of the road. It was like a full time job babysitting him so we didn't kill himself.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so we didn’t kill himself.

Socialist suicide?

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lol damn typos. Gonna leave it though.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We all own this typo comrade

[–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

~~Lmao~~ Loao

ngl, sounds like a cool multiplayer video game

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Does the super power always have to be projectile vomiting and passing out for twelve hours?

Yes?

Okay.

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean... No. I can honestly say, even at the worst I've ever been... And holy shit have I been bad... I've never even felt queasy eating edibles.

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Come hang with me for a weekend and we'll test that out. Worst case, I just keep you green! 😂

[–] TheOneAndOnly@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Hah! I appreciate the offer, my friend, and 23 year old me would likely have jumped at the opportunity... But these days, psychonautical adventuring is likely well behind me. 😁

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Do it and have the best 14 hour nap of your life.

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 10 points 1 week ago

Don't eat another one, eat two

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You eat too much and get ready to buckle up for your rollercoaster ride with Satan.

Personally I get horrible motion sickness, if I over do it. My equilibrium just fucks up and I feel like I'm in a rocket ship I can't steer. Spent a few hours just trying to hold my vision straight, turning my knuckles white gripping onto a chair. Closing my eyes was so much worse. I don't puke, but I wish I could.

Did this to myself more than I should. Why I cut out a lot of alcohol and drugs, I'm too much of a "let's crank this shit up to 11 guy". My old ass body can only handle a 1 or 2.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Edibles don’t work on me. I hate it.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

My wife is the same way. I thought she was bullshitting until the day we had a friend over. He'd just gotten his medical card and wanted to make edibles. We did a whole southern spread with neck bones, collard greens, and cornbread. The cornbread had a gram of live rosin in it. My friend and I ate one piece and were nearly comatose (I was high for a day and a half), she had 3 pieces and didn't even get a buzz.

Apparently some people's liver metabolize THC too quickly for edibles to have an effect. (I tried to find a real source for this but only got results from companies that sell stuff so take this with a grain of salt)

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

yeah until they do

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ITT: people without the enzyme.

TL;DR: You need the gene that makes the enzyme to metabolize the delta-9. Otherwise, edibles literally do nothing.

[–] Xyphius@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

That explains it

Eating too much of an edible always makes feel like I am taking a ride on the Mr. Freeze rollercoaster.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

I believe there's a scene about this in The Wolf of Wall Street

[–] slackarr@piefed.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

edibles don't work for me, i can eat the whole bag

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Depends on the dose. A "whole bag" in some legal states equals 100mg. Which is a lot for most people, but everyone is different. If you know where to look, you can find ones with much higher dosage

[–] AzuranAurora@piefed.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Health Canada is extremely stupid with the potency limits on edibles. You basically have to buy from a Native reservation to get anything worth your time.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My shop didn't believe me about not being sensitive to edibles and gave me a big discount on a 1000mg chocolate bar if I ate it right there. Got home and a few hours later I fell asleep, slept for like 16 hours and woke up really groggy but never really did get high.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"I drank a few quarts of rum, straight up. Fell asleep 20 minutes later, slept for like 16 hours and woke up a bit thirsty but never really did get drunk."

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How is it false, pray tell?

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

First, because I stayed awake multiple hours with no effect other than drowsiness. That dose is enough to cause psychotic symptoms if it had be processed by my liver properly. The point is that eating cannabis largely doesn't effect me the way it does a normal user. I am not aware of people with a genetic predisposition to not processing alcohol, but with cannabis it is a common phenomena.

Secondly, because they a different chemicals and your comparison is bad.

But you aren't here to understand the difference, you're here to be a little prick and pick a fight because I made you feel bad somehow. "Pray tell"? Did I ruffle the feather in your fedora? Grow up.

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 3 points 6 days ago

Found the redditor

[–] CompassRed@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

They literally asked you to explain yourself after you made some vague comments. All this name calling and complaining about hurt feelings is likely just projecting on your part.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That dose is enough to cause psychotic symptoms

Lol no. First off, get that reefer madness bs out of your mind. Or try to argue it if you want but I've been arguing this for more than 20 years and have never seen a study with more than flimsy correlations.

Yeah some can have an anxious and stimulating effect, especially if it's a high thc low cbd strain.

But what you're describing there is the effect of weed, just like the effect for me to drink a bottle of rum by myself is also getting sleepy and sleeping for a long time.

It's just when you eat it, the cannabinoid profile of what ends in your blood is slightly different. You might want the check something called "hormesis" and/or biphasic response.

Essentially with small doses you get different effects from a large dose. But also context really matters. Had you been a teenager and out with your m8s when you ate it, you wouldn't have gone "oh man I just need to sleep right here right now for 16 hours straight."

What you're imagining is that all cannabis is like alcohol, and while wine and beer or liquor might make you feel different and give different hangovers, it's to do with how much you got in your system and how fast, mostly. (There are ofc some byproducts as well which can result in more hangover if you're allergic etc.)

People use benzodiazepines to get a junkie fix, you know? And I can tell you from personal experience you can literally eat a whole package and not even necessarily fall asleep. (Benzos have incredibly high ld50 values, youd need to eat a literal bucket full to kill yourself with them alone)

But you aren't here to understand the difference, you're here to be a little prick a

I'm actually a massive prick, but very much in good faith. The difference between cannabis and caffeine is waaay smaller than cannabis and alcohol. It's not my fault you bought into the drug propaganda and expected to see lifelike My Little Ponies after eating a bit of weed.

So yeah, no false equivalence at all, unless you care to explain in more detail?

"with cannabis it's a common phenomenon"

No, your interoception just really sucks and you've bought into shitty propaganda.

Edit after sleeping hornesis -> .Hormesis

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like I said, you're just a prick.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

I'll have it if you don't want.
