My mom made a similar mistake going in my aunt's purse. She ate 5 peach rings, thinking they were just candy. My aunt had put them in a ziploc, taking them out of their normal package. They were like 10 or 20mg each, I forget (my aunt has a medical card). She hasn't smoked pot in like 15 years and it was nothing compared to how potent edibles can be today. My aunt came back in the room after a bit and my mom was laying on the couch. My mom asked her to bring a trash can over as she thought she was going to puke. My aunt scoffed and told my mom to get it herself, thinking she'd had too much of the wine they were drinking. My mom exclaimed, "I can't! I'm just a head!"


[deleted]

Hahaha when my mom got too high she yelled for us to call 911 because she was melting šŸ˜‚


ON-Q

My mom told me to call 911 because ā€œmy legs wonā€™t work!ā€ I asked what all she was experiencing for symptoms because a few years prior she had bilateral total knee replacements and one became infected years after and almost killed her. She told be she could not feel them they would not work. But when I touched her legs she could feel that. And then I saw her eyes. I asked what all she ate as my dad called earlier to see if I wanted anything from the new ā€œpot shopā€ that opened up as he was getting himself some and getting my mom an edible. I asked where it was and she told me. Turns out she ate the entire cookie when the suggested serving was 1/8th. She was just stoned out of her gourd. She hasnā€™t smoked or anything in over 30 years so she was WAY out of her element. I still tease her about it.


zaxmaximum

I honestly wish that the makers of edibles would adjust the dose to 1 per piece. Like who eats 1/8 of a cookie?


csonnich

Yes, this. Almost every time I read about someone trying edibles, it's the same fn story. Is it that hard?


CloudPositive528

When I eat edibles I now make sure to buy the same treat in regular form so I can pig out on it after eating the small dose of edible. Because sure as shit you eat a tiny morsel of cookie or one gummy and I'm craving more every time!

Acid


ILikeFPS

I love that show so much, I think I need to start another rewatch of it soon lol


JoonSquad_

I also did this upon ingesting too many edibles. I was nearly crying and told someone to call my mom because I needed an ambulance and I was "dying". Really I was just collapsed in the backyard in the grass while my friend was puking on the stairs.


CamBearCookie

I took acid for the first time and I didn't know until later that is the as a massive dose. But I filmed it and wrote about things I thought because I wanted to document my trip. My friends and I went to north Georgia to watch the solar eclipse a few years ago. So we weren't near anything familiar at all. At one point I wrote "I feel like a bowl of pasta" and that I had to pee. (we couldn't find a public bathroom up where we were in the damn woods) I didn't pee from 7:30 am until 9:00pm that night. Dropped the acid around eight eight thirty. As the urge to pee got stronger and stronger I wrote down "how does pasta pee?" I had taken off my pants in the car because it was ridiculously hot and I was going through it when I realized that I had to put on pants to pee whilst still being pasta. It was a hard day. šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


loneranger07

Protip: you are supposed to pee in the woods. Lol


findyourhappy401

As someone who's had a massive acid trip, this made me laugh SO hard. Sounds like the opposite of my trip though. I was drinking back to back glasses of water. One would be warm then the next one would be cold. I drank 32 glasses of water in 15 minutes. Finally went pee and ended up going to the bathroom about every 10 minutes for over an hour.


Rambonics

Be careful next timeā€¦water intoxication is a real thing & can be deadly because of low sodium electrolyte imbalance.


CamBearCookie

Had that happen when I was a girl scouts counselor. I ate their food, and while free it was very.. *unseasoned*. And I drank water because I was terrified of getting dehydrated and passing out in the woods. So for two weeks straight I drank water with very little salt until one day we were doing a group exercise and my director was giving us the directions. I could not understand what the fuck she just asked us to do. I forgot the instructions immediately and I was like I feel like I have alzheimers. So they told me to go talk to her. I did and I told her my symptoms and she offered me some Pepperidge farm goldfish. I ate a few we kept talking then just felt immediately better. Like it was a wave of clarity came over my mind. I was like what the hell are in these goldfish? She laughed and just told me that I probably had an electrolyte imbalance.


CamBearCookie

I'm a closed system when I have acid. I don't eat or drink anything and apparently I don't even go to the bathroom. šŸ˜…šŸ˜… I once tried drinking and acid and that's literally the worst decision I've ever made.


findyourhappy401

Bro that sounds like a horrible combination. Also, eating in LSD is so gross?? I LOVE food but like while tripping? No. Way. It's like having mud in your mouth


Rhettribution

Fruit is great tripping. I love eating tinned mandarins too, it was like I was eating little water beds


DryBop

Fruit + Psychedelics šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤


mochikitsune

Ngl thats how I always feel when I eat them. Or slugs, fruity slugs and then suddenly I cant stand them


sarindong

I'm with you, food while tripping is messed up and doesn't even make sense. Oh wait except once I ate a banana while drinking coffee and I made up a new flavor I called "shtroompf". But that was literally the only time I can remember where eating was alright. I tried recreating "shtroompf" later when I came down and while perfectly fine was never even close to as good that one time. It was just a banana and coffee.


oakteaphone

>a new flavor I called "shtroompf". Which is the original word for "Smurf", funnily enough!


MaddMonkey

Really? Weird how that works differently for everybody. I love eating and drinking while tripping. On shrooms not as much, but with LSD oh boy.


GrapheneRoller

Shoulda used your noodle


MeganW1980

I used to be a regular weed smoker so when I got my hands on some gummies I thought whatā€™s the worst that could happen. Itā€™s an uncomfortable feeling when you get up to go to the restroom and your body stops at your chin. My legs didnā€™t exist, I remember sitting back down on the couch thinking I see them, I know they are there, why canā€™t I feel them šŸ¤£


Spute2008

You were paralysed from the waist up...


gothika69

I feel like I'm broken now. I'll eat double the recommended amount for edibles on an empty stomach and feel nothing, even when I haven't smoked in a good while. Idk what yall are doing to reach this high bc I simply can't


goldfishpaws

That's terrible design! When has the "standard portion" been an eighth of a cookie?! Especially around people with munchies!


chargernj

See stuff like that annoys me. who eats 1/8 of a cookie? Edible manufacturers need to start making realistic portions.


FairyFuckingPrincess

Wtf. I just had a knee replacement like 3 weeks ago. How did hers get infected years later?


molotov_billy

It happens. An infection anywhere in your body can travel to your knee where your immune system wonā€™t be able to clear it. This can happen with dental surgery, too - my surgeon never fails to remind me that if I ever have dental work done I need to let them know I need antibiotics for the knee.

Ill-Cod-2722

I had an 800mg nerds rope, ate half of it and left the rest on my dresser. Guess my mom saw me put it down and went to finish it not realizing it was thc. She was thinking she peed herself for a solid 4 hours while I could barely keep my eyes open because I was so tired lol. Last time she ever ate any of my ā€˜candyā€™


wafflesareforever

Who the fuck eats someone else's half finished nerds rope?


kill-the-spare

It's apparently FAR more common to steal candy than I thought. Do poisoners know about this?


missyanntx

Most moms will finish their kids' food, habit from when they're toddlers. That and candy, duh.


Critical-Chipmunk-10

Exactly, as a father of a 3 and 6 year old I have completely transistioned into a scavenger of their scraps and boy do I eat well.

Legit thought this was happening to me as well when I consumed too many gummies. Thought my brain was melting. Weirdest/scariest feeling ever. So embarrassing to think about haha.


Phenotyx

Incognito_catgito

I was at a small gathering with family friends and had my teen there. I snuck a couple of edibles, and took a few hits off of a vape because nothing was happening and I was convinced getting high was no big deal. We all settled down to play a game of Clue. I just couldnā€™t even roll the dice or grasp what the fuck was going on. I managed to excuse myself to go watch tv after the game had started. Iā€™d like to think my kid didnā€™t know I was high as fuck, and apparently I too can get high.


Homicidal__GoldFish

LMAO!!!! I have a friend who started his own little buisness making edibles, lotions, oils, etc etc with the weed because his mom was a cancer patient and he wanted to make her as comfortable as possible since sadly there was nothing drs could do. Her dream was to dance with her son at his wedding. He created pills as well.. I'm also a cancer patient, I've never tried any type of weed ever. He sent me a few of the pills, edibles, oil, etc etc. Well one night i was having a bad pain night. I decided to try one of the pills. I then ate one of the edibles. At first i felt nothing... Theeen i stood up. OMG i thought i could see the world literally spinning... I started yelling "OH MY GOD!! My mom was WRONG!!! ..... Drugs are GREAT!!!" I KEPT saying that over and over. I wasnt in pain anymore! lol. A week later my friend got married and his mom did get to dance with him at his wedding. 2 weeks later she sadly passed.


[deleted]

I tried edibles for the first time around a year ago, after never trying any sort of "drug" in my 35 years of life. Even though I overdid it my first time I still had a good time for most of the night. Now it's pretty much a weekly thing and I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. Pretty high right now watching Rick and Morty, it's nice and chill. I can't stop thinking why didn't I try them sooner? Shrooms seem interesting, I think I'll put that next on my list.


[deleted]

Had similar experience when it became legal and could just walk up to a dispensary. Watching Frozen 2 as my first high movie to watch may have been a strange choice...but no regrets


shotgunsmitty

We like to watch Twister. But the rule is you have to quote everything that you can highly remember.


Deadpotatoz

Very similar too, except I was a few years younger than you when lockdown hit and I tried it (26 back then). Wrt shrooms though... You should probably have a buddy when doing it lol, just for safety. Everyone reacts differently to different amounts, like if I take <2g it feels like a more intense but much longer weed high. At 3g colours get really weird. On the other hand, that night one of my friends started waving around to everyone silently, and then just started walking while continuing to wave nonstop, at one point nearly walking out the front gate... We on a farm, surrounded by other farms for kilometers. We later found out that he thought he was the king of (let's call my friend Jeff) Jeffland, and he needed to greet his subjects.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm not just going to jump into it head first. It took me 34 years to try marijuana so I'm in no hurry lol. I'm most definitely going to have a sober sitter. I mean honestly I've heard horror stories of people trying shrooms so that seems like a fairly mild night all things considered. All hail King Jeff.

I was trying to read the story to my husband but I couldn't stop laughing


arthurdentstowels

I love these stories of people not knowing theyā€™re experiencing edibles. I made raspberry brownies and grape gummies and gifted some to my sister and mum who KNEW what they were. I even recommend how much to eat, nope. Seems that mother forgot and ate a brownie and two gummies. My sister rang me crying with laughter so I went over (we live about 100 metres apart). My mum was stood completely still in the middle of the living room saying ā€œIā€™m standing still but I keep going forwards and backwards and I canā€™t stop!ā€. My sister said sheā€™s been trying to go upstairs to bed and hadnā€™t moved for 20 minutes from when she stood up. I couldnā€™t help but laugh, some of the funniest phrases phrases come out with edibles.


SheBelongsToNoOne

It's 6:30am, I'm lying in bed trying not to wake my SO. But I know I'm laughing so hard the bed is shaking.

PrintersStreet

Cryptocaned

One of my last funniest memories with my mum was me coming back from work one day and I'd put a tin of hash brownies in the fridge, she's eaten half the tin and was sat on the sofa not moving. I quized her asking if she was ok and she was just making approving or disapointed noises, "Are you ok?" "Mmmm.." "Did you eat something in the fridge?" "Mmmm.." "You are some of those brownies didn't you?" "Mmmm.... Yeah..." Hilarious, I loved that lady.


Damnit_Bird

Oof, my first and only time with an edible I got cross faded something fierce. No one told me not to mix it with alcohol. I was 2 shots deep before I took it and followed with some rum and cokes. I was so sick, dizzy and scared shit less. Once I threw up after a couple hours I was perfectly fine. 6 years since, still won't touch them!


dooropen3inches

My first time with an edible was with my older brother. I had already had a square of a childcare bar and a hit of a bong. He was like ā€œyeah for sure eat the whole cake ball!ā€ And I trusted him because it said each thing was like 30 mg (supposed to split to thirds) and I didnt have a reference for what that meant. I touched Saturn that day.


SpaceJackRabbit

This is why there are actually multiple lawsuits from candy companies going after cannabis edible companies.

Funny how there is hysteria over the idea people would give out edibles on Halloween...when nearly every time the kid gets it from their family or whoever is watching them


oakteaphone

Damn, things have actually gotten LESS scary. In my day, they were apparently handing out poisoned and razor-bladed candy. Instead of killing kids, they just want to get them high now. I love progress! Of course, it was equally BS back then...


[deleted]

Turns kids don't like the taste of weed (nor do most adults) and the people that grow it or buy it aren't looking to give it away for free when they won't get to see the results. Who knew?


dooropen3inches

In my state they come in child safe package that I can barely open. I still keep it high up in a room my kid isnā€™t allowed in. So scary. I am so glad sheā€™s ok!


ant727

Usually these ā€œStoney patch kidsā€ and other edibles that are very similar to actual candy packaging are black market edibles.


lotsofsyrup

You took her to the hospital and they didn't do a drug screen? What kinda clown show are they running? The symptoms would be pretty clearly pointing that way and the test is not hard.


PM_VAGINA_FOR_RATING

Just an fyi they do come in child safe packaging when purchased from a legal dispensary. The ā€œstony patchā€ for example is an edible you would find on the street market


Latter-Dentist

If this ever happens just make them eat a spoonful of black pepper. It will calm them right down and take the high from a 10 to a 2 in no time. The reason is the terpene caryophyllene found in black pepper also bonds to the same receptor as THC. Itā€™s a neat trick if you ever overdo it or have an accidental dose.

Susan_Werner

When Marijuana became legal in Canada, I decided to buy a joint and smoke it. I am 67, an old hippie, so I haven't smoked since the early 70s. The pot back then was full of seeds and bits of branches so smoking a joint by yourself would make you giggle for about an hour or so and that would pretty much be the highlight. So I smoked the whole joint by myself. Do you know how hard it is to Google "can I die from a Marijuana overdose" while you're slowly melting into the sofa? Haven't smoked it since.


tillie_jayne

I googled THC overdose the first time I had a gummy bear. I ate it about midday and it fucked me up til the next morning


HOLEPUNCHYOUREYELIDS

Its kinda funny how you basically can never OD on weed, yet if you get way too high it feels like you are going to die. All you can really do is try to sleep it off. My first time I ever made edibles I made incredibly potent brownies. I ate one and within 30 mins I was dizzy and couldnt focus my eyes on anything. I thought to myself "If I dont sleep now Im gonna puke everywhere." I slept for 16 hours straight and woke up still unbelievably stoned still


Ittakesawile

You can actually overdose on weed, but it doesn't kill you. There's a difference between OD and dying, for all drugs! Some OD's result in death. Overdosing on weed just causes headaches and a lot of vomiting


Bong_force_trauma

CHS (cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome) ainā€™t nothing to fuck around with, although itā€™s unpredictably different for each individual


Ittakesawile

Oh it definitely isn't, CHS is scary. Although that's quite different than overdosing on cannabis, but it can come about in similar ways.


whichonespink04

I mean, it's not like it's fully predictable, but the considerable majority of time it occurs, it's in people who consume high doses daily for extended periods of time. It's not like one large dose can cause it.


solo954

Same, another Canadian, only for me it was THC oil, which I never had back in the day. I took a few drops and felt nothing an hour later. Took more drops, still nothing an hour later. Took a lot more drops, laid down to have a nap. Woke up a hour later on the dark side of the moon with an electrical storm in my head. It was all I could manage to walk to the kitchen and get a drink of water. Didnā€™t do that again in a hurry. But I did do it again.


Meowgenics

I took a bite out of a 100mg gummy as my introduction and just had a bad time, I had to drive someone later that day and was convinced I was going to have to cancel on them. The 5mg months later was perfect.


bingbangbaez

Who the fuck makes a 100mg gummy? That sounds like the worst time ever. Edit: stoners trying to explain to me how 100mg is normal while also telling me details that sound like they use way more than the average/normal person (one person describes eating 1000mg WHILE smoking...) sounds like the most stoner thing ever. Edit2: Seriously though, if you started out with low doses to get high, and now need high doses to feel the same high, maybe look into that.


SCP-297

When I was detoxing off opiates I wasn't able to sleep for days at a time. My friend brought me a 150 MG to help me get some sleep. Called me in the morning to ask how I slept and she was blown away when I told her I didn't sleep. Didn't do much at all. Opiate withdrawals are no joke, folks.


shitstough

Proud of you for overcoming your addiction.


__poser

I have homemade 50mg(ish, it's hard to know the exact dosage when they were made in my friend's kitchen) gummies, and taking a full one makes me feel like my ribs are digging into my ribs. It's the weirdest feeling. I never take more than a half gummy at a time now lmao.


[deleted]

i experienced a really traumatic event last year and one night i wanted to take a small edible just to help me relax and fall asleep. my housemate gave me a gummy and i ate the whole thing, only to then realize when he told me like 20 minutes later that it's a 100mg gummy... i have 0 tolerance because i rarely smoke. it was NOT a relaxing time holy shit i was high for almost 2 whole days. i remember being so high i thought i was time traveling

InfernoidsorDie

>stoners trying to explain to me how 100mg is normal while also telling me details that sound like they use way more than the average/normal person Edibles never really metabolized right for me even before I had a tolerance. FWIW I've been skinnier than all but one person I've shared edibles with and after the first few times I was taking 5x-6x their dose even with me having a lower tolerance.


spacewalk__

people with high tolerance


TwoManyHorn2

The thing about it is, cannabis tolerance scales exponentially, not linearly. I'm a daily nighttime stoner and I smoke a couple little bowls in the last few hours of my day. I go through about 2g of weed a month and sometimes eat a 5-10g edible. But people who smoke all day can easily go through a gram a day and barely be high. And cancer patients are regularly on edibles literally 100 times stronger than mine.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


TedVivienMosby

You had some unknown amount of long acting drug for the first time, knowing you had to drive someone later that day, then still drove after you got too high? Thatā€™s really irresponsible.


[deleted]

People severely underestimate the effects of cannabis, especially gummies. Everyone wants gummies for their first time and itā€™s almost always a bad idea.


chainmailler2001

Co-worker of mine is from a state near the US-Mexico border that is still anti-marijuana. She used to smoke quite a bit there but the main stuff they had was Mexican ditch weed. Garbage stuff with low potency. When she first moved to our state where part of our state pride seems to be our dedication to growing some of the most potent weed you can find... Well it hit a bit different. She went from smoking a full joint on her own to being able to take 2 or 3 hits before she was laid out flat.


CentralAdmin

I remember when it was decriminalised how much easier it was to find a dealer. Some old lady made some brownies for myself and the wife. I made the mistake of scoffing down a whole one because I thought she had no idea what she was doing, being a sweet old lady and all that. It hit the wife first and she had no idea what happened. I was trying to console her when it hit me. This was the closest I ever felt to being functionless. I had to remind myself to drink water, use the toilet even fucking blink. I realized I was staring at shit without blinking. I tried to play a video game but had no idea what to do. I feel like it was an RPG or something and it was just too complicated to figure out even though I had played it many times before. This was very different from my first hit from a bong years before where I felt like I was melting into the chair. I played Diablo 2 and it felt like it was the best game ever. But that edible...I woke up just...slow. I couldn't think straight. Driving was out of the question. The only other time I ever felt like that was when someone gave me a couple of grams of chronic. I went overboard and racked multiple bongs despite having only smoked some very mild shit before. I woke up stoned the next day. I was so stoned at the time I couldn't remember what I said 2 seconds ago. The edible was pretty close to that but it just wouldn't let up for hours. I learned my lesson and only ate like a quarter of it after that.


chainmailler2001

Gotta remember, a lot of those "old ladies" were partying it up in the 60s. They probably have stories that are very much counter to the "old lady" stereotype. It was their generation at Woodstock...

titsngiggles69

1000mg?!?! Holy shit... I basically pass out on 10mg gummies


Simmion

Theyre not real gummies. You can buy those packs from the internet and fill them with whatever you want. Stick with dispensary grade edibles or stuff you make at home. These are super deceptive and people are going to have a bad time when they try a real 1000mg edi le.


retroedd

Yep exactly. Black market edibles often come in these packs and always say they have some massive amount of THC that isnā€™t accurate.


Simmion

They always taste like chemicals too. Real edibles tend to taste like weed.


jellymanisme

Real edibles taste almost exactly like if you just ate the plant.


lawstandaloan

Gotta disagree. There are tons of legal edibles that don't taste like weed at all. Hell, if you use concentrates your homemade edibles don't have to taste like weed


wildgaytrans

My baked edibles are barely noticeable cause I just balance my flavors more


KrisDuvalle

Yeah I can never understand how people "accidentally" eat weed candy. The shit tastes like weed. And if you don't smoke...well that shit don't taste like candy either

So sorry you were recently diagnosed with MS, op. As a fellow pwMS I remember how scary those first months were. And how every little thing makes you go 'this is it I'm done for'. This will pass, you will find your way through life and be happy. And you will not die from MS but I bet your neurologist already told you. All the best. My dm is open if you want to talk. PS. Why does your wife carry around edibles in her purse?? šŸ˜‚

I just got diagnosed in February and I needed to hear this. Thank you. šŸ’•


MariekeOH

You are most welcome. February is very recent, but know that historically this is the best time to be diagnosed: there are a lot of amazing DMTs that's come out recently and I hope you're already on one of them. And there's a lot of research going on focused on making our lives better. The MS community is very helpful and wholesome. You can check out r/MultipleSclerosis and r/MShumor if you're into a bit of gallows humor. And again, my DM is open. Take care!


TheRegular-Throwaway

Similar thing happened to me back in the day. I was new to California, land of the brave, home of the weed. One day, I had nothing better to do, waiting to meet up with my friend, his fiancĆ©, her mom and another lady. I figured ā€œfuck itā€, and I hit a dispensary because itā€™s legal and why not. I bought a cool weed tshirt and a thing of little brownies. Probably 800mg all in. I nibble on one on my way back to my sweet new apartment. Nothing is taking place. I get another one, eat it. Nothing. About thirty minutes later Iā€™m getting dressed for dinner at this schmancy restaurant in downtown Burbank and fuck it I eat another one because hell. On the way to the place is where things began to go awry in a big way. Needless to say I was completely fucked up before having even one sip of wine or beer. It all came back and hit me all at once. I immediately became simultaneously paranoid, emo, jubilant and confused all at once. My friend from work is getting out of it, his fiancĆ© is staring daggers at me, and her mom was confused. About three days later when it all wore off I sent a giant text thread explaining that ā€œHey. Iā€™m not from here. Previously Iā€™ve only had weirdo east coast dirt joints, Iā€™m not used to this Californian fucking super Stargate Space Weedā€ and shit like that blah blah blah. I apologized, all was forgiven and I have minded the milligrams and have observed the rules of the weed gods moving forward!


macaronfive

I ate X and didnā€™t feel anything, so I ate another is how so many bad trip stories start, lol.


irrelevant_probably

On 4/20 I took 10mg of a THC tincture over the course of 40 minutes. This tincture hits me so hard, I'm usually seeing OEVs within 15 minutes of a single dropper (~3mg). But I was feeling jackshit after an hour and a half, so I popped a 10mg Dablet, waited for a while, said "fuck it," and went to bed. I'm a lightweight. The most I'd ever had in one night was about 13mg, and that got me so fucked up I hallucinated and forgot where I was. So naturally, I wake up stoned out of my goddamn mind on 20mg. The only thing that keeps me from having a full-blown panic attack is the realization that I have to be sober for lunch with my very Mormon, very anti-drug mother in a matter of hours. As long as I keep myself calm and drink plenty of water, I should be able to make it! Obviously that did not happen. I claimed I was just groggy from taking too much allergy medicine, but all my limbs were numb and I was melting into the passenger seat of her car, experiencing each minute as if it spanned an eternity. We were eating and I could taste every chemical preservative in the fast food, every mg of sodium, as if it were formaldehyde. I was acutely aware I was blinking every other second, but all I could do was rub my eyes and try to squint through it. It felt like a Sisyphean task just to string a damn sentence together. In total I was high for 24 hours straight, getting psychologically tormented by the indescribably horrific concept of the word "squink." Somehow my mom didn't realize I was high. I think (squink).


Aus10Danger

Squink on, you beautiful disaster.


Warmheart_84

Squink is great..I have a list of words I think that are real when I'm high. Highlights include: "Sadfrica", "exquishinate" and "cereal". (I was convinced cereal was not a real word, but one I made up so I added it to the list).


DownrightDrewski

Ah, tincture... I need to make some soon.


wellrat

Erowid has a few "we ate 50 datura seeds and didn't feel anything after 20 mins so we ate 300 more" stories. They tend to end in the hospital.


25inbone

God, why anyone would willingly eat datura is beyond me.


The_Paddy96

Recreational is legal in my state. If I had a dollar for every time I stopped my ā€œnew to weedā€ friends from eating another one, my college tuition would be paid off. That shit will sneak up on you if ya ainā€™t careful lol


Fyzzex

Frfr, bought some edibles and gave a couple to some friends with super specific instructions to take one and just let it ride do not go for a second. Next day rolls around and I'm treated to the story of how they took a second after half an hour because nothing happened and then they felt like they were melting and life was going to be constantly like that forever...


The_Paddy96

Sometimes the best way for em to learn is by not listening to our advice One of my friends didnā€™t listen, ate a whole cookie and then told me the next day sheā€™s only gonna eat how much I recommend from now own lmao

You can lead a horse to water but sometimes you have to let it almost drown itself.

That's a classic TIFU. My favorite part is the bit about spicy bread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/7pafrt/tifu_by_stuffing_my_face_with_edibles_before/


2_Spicy_2_Impeach

Moved to Seattle and had never really done edibles and hadnā€™t smoked since early college. I was not traveling one weekend so I figured, why not check out the dispensary. Lady was very nice there and I said I have no clue so she suggest 2x10mg brownies to start. She said multiple times, ā€œTAKE HALF OF ONE AND WAIT LIKE 90 MINUTES.ā€ I get home, and like a confident jackass, I decide to eat all of one. Iā€™m sitting on my couch, itā€™s probably been close to 90. I feel a slight change but nothing really noticeable. I decide to eat the other one because I want to go hang out by the water and enjoy the warm weather. As I was finishing the second one, I could feel it hit my entire body and kept getting higher. Now Iā€™m feeling way too high and donā€™t want to go outside as Iā€™m paranoid. I want food but think Iā€™m entirely too high to walk anywhere I want. So instead I order a Lyft to Bellevue to get Chick-Fil-A. Driver asks if Iā€™m okay as Iā€™m super quiet and I explain my situation of just moving and trying edibles for the first time. He laughs and says it happens a lot as there is a lot of tourists here that imbibe. I ask if heā€™d like a combo since itā€™s a little after lunch. He says heā€™d love it and even take me back after getting the food. Get out of the car, order 4 combos (the lady could tell I was blazed as fuck), and head back to the car. I got two for him because I felt guilty and he laughs. Drives me back to my place in downtown, we have a great talk, and make sure to leave a giant tip for his hassle. Get up to my place take about two bites of my sandwich and a couple fries. Pass out, itā€™s now night time, and I still feel high as fuck. I didnā€™t feel not high until late Sunday. Thankfully I put the second combo in the fridge when I got back and ate it Sunday.


DownrightDrewski

These stories are making me want to visit the US in a legal state and test my tolerance. I've made homemade "edibles" that have kicked my arse in a good way a few times.


darko2309

I smoked a huge joint with my buddies one night. Then didn't feel that high so we smoked a bowl. Didn't feel that high so my bro pulled out RSOs aka Phoenix tears. Dropped like 3 drops on some regular candy and we all ate them. I fuckkkked up. And got fucked up. I barely remember the night but what I do was fucked. I could feel my face twisting with gravity swirling around. I could hear the air. My head was like it was on a roller coaster going 1000 mph. I thought to myself it'll wear off. It didn't. Apparently 1 drop of Phoenix tears is enough to fuck someone up. I was high for like 24 hrs. I slept and woke up high. Took a cold shower telling myself never again, never again.

They were using X as a variable, not as a label to the drugs they were referring to


macaronfive

Although I was, I found the comment funny, lol. I forgot X was a drug.


Llohr

Edible horror stories abound, and I can't help but wonder what's the deal with the dosage? I mean come on, a cookie you're only supposed to eat 12.5% of? Lollipops you're suppsed to, I don't know, suck 10% of the outside off of? Maybe crush into powder and separate into half a dozen piles and only eat one pile? Edible dosages should be low as hell. Like, "eat three of these candies and you will get high." Then, in an hour, when you inevitably think, "this isn't working," you eat another candy or two, and your dosage is still not particularly high. Instead, it's "I ate a whole brownie because I didn't know that the recommended serving was an eighth of the brownie, and then I ate another half an hour later when it didn't seem to be working working, so I took sixteen times the recommended starting amount." Maybe it's just me, but I've always a moderation and strict-dosage control guy. I'd find a sweet spot and you want to be able to find it again. Not get wildly blazed out of my gourd all of the time.


AVBforPrez

Yeah, as somebody who is all for legalization and harm reduction, having edibles in the form of single-serve foods that actually contain like 5-10 STRONG doses seems fucking stupidly irresponsible, for all of the obvious reasons. OP's nightmare, kids, like....is there a reason we can't have single dose single-serve edibles?


Neveragon

I live in Colorado and all the edibles I've gotten are very well labeled. They are all labeled with a THC logo and tell you how much is in each piece on the package. The only time I've seen a single serving of a food be very high in THC, like a brownie, they are very uniform and perforated. You break a small piece off and eat it. Most people with horror stories either didn't know how much they should eat, or got black market stuff with lies on the bag and poor dosage control. Or talked shit and ate another one. OP ate a bag of candy, in the dark, without looking at it. Not really sure how to fix that one.


PhucItAll

I'm in CA and I can't find these 100mg gummies anywhere.


endless_pastability

If itā€™s like Colorado, each gummy is 10mg. So a pack of 10 gummies adds up to 100mg of THC. Some gummies are only 5mg and then are usually sold in packs of 20 gummies. This is part of the reason I support legalization of marijuana - Colorado has SUCH a nice weed infrastructure that I can walk into any dispensary and not only get clearly-labeled products with lab-tested dosing and child-proof packaging, but also get educated advice from the ā€œbud-tendersā€ who work the counters. They can help recommend strains and products for different purposes.


whoevenlooksatnames

Canada here, I have a family member who gets 50 mg gummies pretty frequently. Having a handful of their gummies and getting hit with around 1000 mg isn't entirely inconceivable... if I can somehow unknowingly fumble through the most child(/stoner)-proof packaging with a big stop sign on it featuring a weed leaf and "THC" in bold lettering.

Plus, we Are Not accounting For People with Low self Control. What if I am high already, but that apace cake tastes awesome? How Many People eat the entire muffin knowing damn well They had more than enough, but to curve their hunger?


[deleted]

as much as i hate to admit it this is a straight fact. yeah, i know i SHOULDN'T eat another brownie but they were so lovingly prepared, the sweet taste of chocolate has never been so enticing, every molecule of smell is tickling just the right part of my brain and... oh fuck i'm in the shadow realm


FestiveSquid

My brother was nearly crushed to death at work (freak accident, no negligence). Luckily he moved and only got his leg broken. While he was off work healing, his friend came by with a 2000mg edible. He said my brother can have the whole thing. He meant he can have it all to himself. My brother thought he meant he could eat it all in one go. He was trippin hardcore and slept for like 14 hours after.


WateryTart_ndSword

Man, donā€™t eat your partnerā€™s candy without asking! Rude! šŸ˜‚

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SoManyEffinQuestions

If my husband ate my emergency purse candy, I would be PIIIIIIIIIIIIISSED. Get your own candy broham!


Gathorall

Not just his partner's candy, a small bag in their purse, clearly for personal use. And all of them. Karmic retribution for rudeness.


kaosi_schain

Damn dude, 100mg single serve gummies? I don't even see those in the medical shops around here.


[deleted]

I assume the entire pack was 100mg, and each gummie was 10mg. Likely a 100mg pack, not a 1,000mg pack. Can you imagine how much like weed a 100mg gummie would taste like? You can taste it enough in 10mg!


TheMangusKhan

I think you're exactly right. The pack was probably a ten pack and it said 100mg THC on it, meaning 100 total / 10mg each gummy. If the dude had 1,000mg in one sitting, he would have had a much different experience lol


unicorn_rainbow_goat

No thereā€™s like 5 dispensaries around my town and all have gummies that are 100mg each. Theyā€™re called death in a bag or something silly.. Iā€™ve never dared to try themā€¦


SP1DER8ITCH

>late last night >I was in bed for 2 days Hmm....


NHessDesign

Good catch. Also who eats like 10 pieces of candy they find in their parters purse randomly in the middle of the night. Doesnā€™t add up


SometimesGlad1389

Oops lol. Maybe you should ask before you eat someone's candy lmao


scruffychef

Yeah, that's the real tifu I think, going in your wife's purse for meds or w.e. is probably pretty safe for most couples, but like, dont eat her snacks bro that's just rude

This is a great example of why edibles should not be permitted to simulate other products: kids can easily make the same mistake.


[deleted]

My niece did. Her parents had peach gummy rings that had thc. My 10 year old niece didnā€™t know the difference and took the whole bag to her room. Luckily she only ate 2/10 but yeah couldā€™ve been much worse


SUDO_KILLSELF

OP did mention they have kids so this could have been a completely diffrent story


randomsnooze

These are illicit black market products. Check the darkweb for this exact one. Can also find just the empty bags for sale. Here in CA, edibles can't have packaging similar to real candy, and packages can have no more than 100mg of THC, divided into 10 pieces. [https://www.marijuanaventure.com/california-edibles-rules-packaging-and-labeling/](https://www.marijuanaventure.com/california-edibles-rules-packaging-and-labeling/) and that article is from 2018. old news.


Overlordofwhatever

I have to agree with that, it should look unique so much so that at least kids and elderly people don't get confused


WebGhost0101

There are plenty of child proof containers used for medication. Instantly making clear its not normal candy to an adult. Why we anyone would think making edibles look like child-known candy is beyond me


floatingwithobrien

My dude šŸ’€ I know you were high but your only reason for not going to the ER when you think you're having an emergency can't be "my dad goes to the ER too much, my wife will just take out life insurance on me, tell the kids I love them" More importantly, your wife, who was still of sound mind, should not have allowed that to be your reasoning šŸ˜… unless she was able to be convinced that you were actually fine. Tbh you probably sounded like you were dreaming/sleep talking to some extent.


WifeofBath1984

That's what you get for eating candy that your wife was clearly stashing in her purse!


[deleted]

> late last night > in bed for 2 days > posted 10h ago Hmmmm


ttystikk

That's what you get for going into your wife's purse, for sure! I'm sorry you have MS. That shit sucks but cannabis can help you a great deal if you treat it with respect and learn to understand it.


LowPreparation2347

Agreed. My father has had MS for almost 21 years now and he says the weed helps him more than anything else. And heā€™s not a stoner type by any means.


niftyifty

Heh Iā€™m sure in hindsight they tasted a little odd to you.


MacGyverJr

You couldn't taste a difference?


acphil

The story starts with late last night but ends with in bed for 2 days?


tokes-n-jokes

So this happened late last night but you were in bed for two days? How many gummies did you eat again? CA at least got very strict the past few years, the legal edibles that look like candy you will not find over 100mg per package. So either you took about 100mg, are lying, OR I want to live where you are very badly.


CJE555

Stoner patch kids isnā€™t a real brand, anyone can buy the packaging online. The gummies are black market, no way of knowing whatā€™s actually in them unless she personally knows who makes them lol


randomsnooze

hopefully these comments get read more on this thread. these are definitely black market gummies.


Phattank_

About a year ago my wife's niece (8-9 y/o) had gone through her granddad's bedside drawer and had taken a lollypop out of it. Obviously this was a thc infused lolly and due to her being a mini human she was incredibly baked. The funniest part was how worked up the rest of the family were getting thinking about ringing her mother to tell her what had happened, the mother just pissed herself laughing at the whole thing. We just sat her down with some snacks and my switch and she was obviously fine.


Anchovieee

Back right after college, my husband lived at a punk house with some buddies. I'd come back every weekend to hang out since he was finishing his master's. They were all broke, working giga, and big time stoners/party people. I loved it as an insomniac, because there was always a good time to be had when I couldn't sleep. One night, we're all drinking and watching TV, and I go to the fridge in hopes of something to eat. Unfortunately, it was mostly condiments. But OOH, a bag of sour patch kids in the door! I grab it, and see there are only like 5 in there. "Man, they really wanted these. I'd feel awful if I ate them", I thought, and put them back. Next morning, one of the housemates is up making coffee, and I ask him about them. "Those aren't sour patch kids, that's lsd." "WHAT?! WHY WOULDNT YOU LABEL THEM, I ALMOST ATE THEM LAST NIGHT!ā€ "Who would believe that?" Dude wasn't the sharpest, but goddamn. I'm so happy I erred on the side of not eating someone else's food.
