I tried edible marijuana and felt nothing

I tried edible marijuana and felt nothing Charles Passy
By now, just about everyone has heard of Maureen Dowd’s ill-fated experiment with edible marijuana — that is, the night of paranoid hallucination that followed her devouring of a cannabis-spiked candy bar in Colorado. As the New York Times columnist observed: “I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing…I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.”
So, when I visited Colorado some months later — to report on a cannabis trade conference, appropriately enough — I thought I’d put edible pot to the Dowd test. Would I have the same long, strange and unpleasant trip? Or would I enjoy the mellow buzz that is the supposed quintessence of cannabis?
As it turned out, I experienced neither. In fact, I experienced nothing.
I’ve been thinking about my experience — or non-experience, as it were — in light of a new report from the Journal of the American Medical Association that shows marijuana edibles are often labeled inaccurately, with potency levels sometimes way less than what’s listed (also see Quartz’s If you buy medical marijuana edibles, you are probably getting ripped off). And yet, this hasn’t seemingly stopped cannabis consumers from embracing edibles. In Colorado, the first state to fully legalize pot, some 4.8 million edible marijuana products were sold in 2014. The “strong demand” for these items, as a state report described it, seemed to take industry watchers by surprise. (Isn’t pot all about smoking?).
Which brings me back to my story. I had never tried marijuana in edible form, so I was more than a little curious. (And again, I was visiting a state where I could legally satisfy that curiosity.) The first thing that struck me when I went to make a purchase at a dispensary was just how many options I had: candies, cookies, even something called “Groovy Granola.” But it was hard to get a handle on which product would be the right fit — meaning I hoped to try something that would get me high but not, well, Maureen Dowd high. Granted, I knew a lot depended on the amount ingested, but that was my very concern: I wanted the relationship between the portion size and the likely result to be abundantly clear. (Dowd got tripped up — pardon the pun — by how many squares of a candy bar it would take to have the requisite effect.)
On the advice of the dispensary I visited, I went with an item called Dew Drops, a marijuana “tincture” that’s essentially cannabis in a concentrated liquid form. (It came courtesy of Dixie Elixirs & Edibles, a Colorado company that’s a leader in the burgeoning biz of edibles and was recently ranked as the fourth most important enterprise in the cannabis industry. The product instructions said to place the dropper under my tongue, take a small dose (the bottle contained close to 10 servings, but I was advised by the dispensary to err on the safe side in portioning) and wait for my high. “The effects should be felt within 15-60 minutes,” says the Dixie Elixirs site.
I did just that and took an instant liking to the taste of the drops (I went with the spearmint flavor, though the watermelon was equally tempting). But instead of feeling mellow (or paranoid), I got the same kind of buzz I get from drinking a couple of O’Doul’s. (“Wait, isn’t that a non-alcoholic beer?” you ask. Precisely.)
Still, I didn’t give up. I took another hit (er, drop) after a safe period of waiting. And again, I came up blank in the buzz department. So, I repeated the process a third time. For a few seconds, I thought something was starting to kick in, but then I realized it was just that end-of-day sensation otherwise known as sleepiness. I hit my hotel room bed feeling tired but thoroughly sober.
And the next night? I tried the experiment all over again — with the same outcome.
I know I could have broken the rules and swigged the whole bottle, but that’s how Dowd got herself into trouble. Additionally, the dispensary had all but insisted that caution was in order — they even gave me an “Edibles Education” card, created by the Cannabis Business Alliance, that offered various pointers. Chief among them: “Start low. Go slow.”
The result? I got the anti-Dowd effect. But when you think about it, I had the same problem as Dowd in that I couldn’t get a handle on the correct dosage. Dowd ended up feeling like a zombie. I ended up feeling like I got ripped off (the drops cost me 20 bucks). But it’s an issue either way.

0.4g in nutella in a pot, heat but dont overheat
put in coffee and stir
will have a weird consistency, but it will make you high and dizzy for a day 12-16 hours trip
it seems the real dose might be 0.2g or 0.1g , I double dosed, couldn't move for 12hours really very unpleasant, out of body all the time over and over with open eyes... very dizzy back and forth

Must have been some bunk edibles. I know people who try to make weed brownies and they do it all wrong. Overheating can vaporize all the THC, for example. The fact that it was a legit company with bunk edibles is odd though....

Nope. Dispensaries and edible companies don't sell bunk edibles or they wouldn't be in business. Some may be weak, but not bunk. It seems a very small percentage of people are practically immune to edible cannabis for whatever reason. I am one of them. It took me many years.. and a LOT of experimentation to come to this conclusion. But I am quite confident in that statement.
I can smoke a bowl and get high just fine. I can eat tons of edibles and barely even catch a light buzz.
I've gone over this many times but I guess I'll elaborate here.
I've been smoking pot for ~18-19 years now, pretty much daily, but I take tolerance breaks every once in a while. Even when I have a high tolerance, I can still get high just fine by smoking.
I have eaten hundreds of different kinds of edibles.. at every stage of my cannabis use.. and they hardly effect me at ALL. I have never ONCE been blazed from edibles. At MOST, I get a VERY light.. mild buzz.
People always say oh you are just getting bunk or super weak edibles.. the people making them aren't doing them right.. yadda yadda blah blah... no.
- I have eaten many firecrackers with 2-4g of top shelf kush - they do nothing. Meanwhile I can smoke a single bowl of that SAME WEED and get high.
- I have eaten numerous "super potent" edibles from dispensaries in EVERY form you can imagine - they all do practically nothing. Gummi bears, cookies, rice krispie treats, tinctures, chocolates, etc etc etc. It's a complete waste. The exact same edibles - other people can eat them and get zombified couch locked high as shit for 6-8 hours. I eat three to four times as many as they do and feel almost nothing.
- I have eaten numerous batches of homemade brownies made with premium cannabutter that a grower friend made. Everyone else gets high as shit from them. I doubled the dose of cannabutter. Nothing. I have put up to an OUNCE of top shelf herb in a batch of brownies. Other people eat a quarter of ONE and get completely fried. I eat four of them and barely catch a buzz.
- Other people make super potent brownies... they tell me to "be careful bro.. only eat half of it and hope you don't have anything planned for the rest of the day... " I'll eat three or four of them, they are hard to get down because they taste so strongly of herb. catch the lightest buzz possible, barely even noticeable and go to work.
- I've had a professional "pot chef" make me some cannabis food - nothing.
- Bhang - same exact thing.
I've challenged people to make me an edible that can get me high. No one has been able to do it. An edible that everyone else says will get them completely fucked up, I can literally eat 5x as many as them, and barely even catch a tiny light buzz. That's the most I have EVER gotten from edibles... a SUPER light body buzz.. barely even noticeable. Every single time I feel like I got jipped. I have tried taking a tolerance break for 3+ weeks, they still do nothing. Then I take one hit from a bong and get fried. It has absolutely nothing to do with the potency of the edibles or my tolerance. They can be the strongest edibles in the world and I could have zero tolerance and it would be the same thing. I could drink a whole bottle of that spearmint tincture he is talking about, and I can pretty much guarantee I would feel very little effects.
It is a complete and absolute waste of weed for me to consume edibles. They do basically nothing for me.
We aren't talking an isolated incident or two with someone that didn't know what they were doing. I am talking about hundreds of different attempts, of some of the most potent edibles you can make. Believe me, I have tried... HARD.
For whatever weird reason... eating weed does not really effect me at all. Which really sucks. Because I want to feel that lasting, super deep body high that everyone talks about from edibles.. But it's impossible for me. It doesn't matter what my tolerance is like. It's my liver.. my metabolism.. something with my body chemistry... I have no fucking clue what causes it.. but eating weed does nothing for me. So I just stick to smoking/vaping it. Works like a charm, every time.
I've talked to one or two people on the shroomery here that have the same issue. It's extremely rare, but it happens for some reason.
I am guessing the guy who wrote this article has the exact same issue. It's not a problem with the potency or consistency of the product, the problem is with him most likely. I bet you if he gave someone else those same drops they would get high from it.
I would really love to find a scientific explanation for why this happens. We need more studies on this.
(Note in case it's relevant.. I am not overweight by any means, in fact I am skinny. I am 6'2 and 175lbs)

Many people think they are immune when they first try edible cannabis, I thought so too the first 5 times
Then 6th time I ate 1/3rd of what I used to, 0.4g in coffee and it blew my mind for 12-16 hours or so
Out of body, torn out of body every few secs for 10+ hours, very dizzy and unpleasant, wanting to throw up all the time
Very unpleasant and strong
Edibles suddenly start working when you make them right, if you make them wrong they just don't work
I have tried eating 1.2g before with little effect, but this 0.4g got me higher than I've ever been
( and I used to smoke 1/8th oz bags all the time of the best green skunk )
The coffee nutella trick did the trick for me.... very good method didn't even taste it.... just got extremely high after like 1-2 hours+ , much too high, and it kept getting worse and more high all the time to 4-5hrs +
Couldn't move out of my chair for a half day!!

I had another nice experience, ate one weed cupcake and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing for like 5-8 hours :-)
it can certainly work, very high on that one....
some cakes work better than others, that one worked better than my 1.2g cake

Yeah about that.....I really don't think you read my post at all..... I've been eating edibles for over 15 years. HUNDREDS of times in every different form imaginable. They weren't made wrong. Professionals have made me ganja food - it does nothing. The SAME EXACT edibles get other people high just fine. I can eat 5x as much and barely get any effects at all. I'm not some noob that just tried edibles a couple times. I've probably eaten more than you. Believe me when I say, I am practically immune to edibles. Read my post in its entirety.
People ALWAYS say oh the edibles weren't made right... yeah that's BS. Not when the exact same edibles get everyone else high as FUCK and I don't feel anything eating double or more than they do... hundreds of times. I have been trying for YEARS.

That sounds really strange and unfortunate, I haven't had edibles for years, in fact I have only smoked a handful of times in the last 2-3 years. I'm in the UK so "official" edibles don't exist here, but when we used to make them the high was nice and certainly worth the effort for the different effect.
Is there anything that you find potentiates ganja for you? Benzos or booze etc? That is the only thing I can think of. It could be the mechanism of your gut that is failing to absorb the THC I guess, maybe eating some easily absorbed fats beforehand would help, I understand that THC needs to be carried into the bloodstream by fats, which is why just eating a handful of weed doesn't do much.
Might be worth doing some reading on the transition of THC from gut to blood, although I kinda think you probably know about all that stuff already, have you done a search for people with similar issues? Never know what you will find, there are some random miracle "cures" out there for all kinds of stuff.
Sux to be you, man, hope you find some answer to your problem.

Relax man, I got adhd or suchh, I don't read very well ;-)
I haven't been able to read more than a few lines at once in my whole life, so this is not new to me,I usually skip most of the details I read
Bad short term memory..
Maybe you got some stomach enzyme weirdness/dna mutation ;-) Oh well, it's not like I like weed much anymore after doing psychedelics, do you still like it?
Weed is more like an anxiety attack for me now if I smoke it, very unpleasant
But I can smoke like 2 joints in a row and then it gets unpleasant, wondering if the thoughts ever stop etc.
I haven't been able to smoke weed pleasantly since I took my first LSD trip

Nope.. everything I have tried has been a no go. There isn't really much of any information out there on it because it seems to be pretty rare. But certainly not unheard of.. This is the closest explanation I have found http://www.reddit.com/r/eldertrees/comments/2purbf/i_have_never_experienced_any_effect_from_edibles/ KifKif has the same issue, says he is a budtender and he's noticed like 5% or less of people don't get any effects from edibles regardless of dose. And the best theory seems to be it has to do with the differences in our digestive systems or the enzymes. Some people with IBS say edibles don't effect them at all.. but then some people with IBS say they get them high just fine. I definitely don't have IBS.
One thing I think it might have to do with is my metabolism. I have always had a SUPER crazy metabolism, (probably why I'm so skinny and can eat as much as I want without ever gaining weight). I often sweat like CRAZY at night when I'm sleeping. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and the blanket is completely drenched in sweat. And it doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the temperature.. if I don't use a blanket I get cold as shit so that doesn't work. And I don't always sweat.. just sometimes. But when it happens, it's pretty intense. It helps purge whatever toxins from my body that's for sure.. I basically never get sick... at least not in the past 12 years or so.
But I've tried pretty much everything to try potentiate it.. supplements, alcohol, coconut oil, etc etc etc. Two things I haven't tried... one thing that kifkif mentioned is lipase supplements which is an enzyme that breaks down fatty substances. I might give that a try sometime.
The other thing I never even thought about before, is eating ripe mangos before eating edibles. Mangos are proven to potentiate cannabis significantly if you eat them 45min - 1hr before smoking. So I might give that a try with edibles. Maybe even combine with the lipase. I really would like to at least once in my life get completely blasted from edibles.

Stomach enzymes is a very likely culprit.
But yeah, I love weed.. always have. I have smoked pretty much daily (5+ times a day ) for the past 18 years or so. Weed has never gotten old for me. If it becomes too much fogginess, as can happen when you abuse it... I take breaks.. or curb my usage a bit. A week or two without is enough to clear things up usually.

I've had gummy bears, and hard candies from CO that have literally knocked me on my ass for hours. I make some dank dank dank ass butter, and they got me beat tenfold.
Of course people rip people off on edibles. At festivals 1 out of 10 edibles I eat was worth the 5 bucks. The rest is barely thresh hold.....but if I make my own firecrackers at home.....you best believe I look like I'm on heroin 45 minutes after I eat them.

God, I want to go there. I can only imagine what it's like. I've made 4-5g firecrackers (extreme overkill..) that do jack shit to me. It's just a huge waste of weed. But maybe they are on to something with this lipase thing.. it's worth a try at least.

Hell yeah man. Ive been screwed over all too many times by OD'ing haha...
I used to always concentrate all my outdoor trim into lethal green butter that took an entire day to carefully prepare...
I remember having this birthday party. I hooked my buddy up with a pound of my butter & he brought "space cake" in the shape of boobs with gumdrop nipples. One problem for us that night was getting the munchies off one piece and eating more. I realized I started saying "mannn" a lot repeatedly. Just like the first time I got high at 14... like....oh mannn.. man... you know man? Uh oh...
We got no songs done that night and I crawled up the stairs on my knees since I could hardly stand.. The next day I went to stand up when I awoke and fell straight on my face. After I regained, I was able to walk but felt like my body weighed 2 tons... I later watched my drumer wake from my couch... He goes "what time is it?" I was like...um 3pm...whoah carefull buddy" as he stood up. Yup. he fell on his ass also....
So... fucked up for 2 days and I have endless tales like this...haha... Scary shit if concentrated.
Lately ive been runnng pure sativas to quick cook high heat for the psychedelicness w no tiredness... Had a gigglefest going tubing last weekend. So very euphoric and pleasurable...

That sounds fucking awesome to me. Just ONCE.. I would be happy if I could get THAT fucked off edibles just once.
For now it's just for life
I'm determined though. I'm going to try mangos, and lipase supplements.. and then OD on the dankest edibles I can get my hands on. Something has got to give!!!!!#111

It often causes a particular unpleasantness in my feet for some reason. Like my feet are high as hell physicaly and I have to move them as if with restless leg syndrome or something.... Usually if im trying to lay down in a meditative state
I think one of the reasons my butter was so ridiculous is that id use pounds of trim. Plus with the water method, the 212F is far below the vaporization point so nothing lost. I should make a TEK here someday

I got a few life situation problems past few years, and if I smoke weed it just kicks my ass, shows me my problems right in my face
Not pleasant..
I liked weed when it was once in a while, but I don't regret stopping daily for sure
It can have many positive effects, but it also has a few negative ones that can last a long while when smoking daily, but I'm sure you know
My mom is getting canna oil for her pancreatic cancer right now and I hope the best for her that it will help better than morphine which she can only lay in bed on and not even speak
I believe for every pill there is a natural pill too, which often has fewer side effects
Problems come when we concentrate nature into pill form often, more abuse, more negative side effects etc.
Weed had a positive effect on my reading though, I could read for hours, never been able to read so much as when I smoked, 50 pages in a row. Normally I've never been able to make it past 2-4 pages max, and often only 5-10 lines if lucky then I'm onto something new and forgot all I just read

best way to make edibles is with hash oil. I assume your bad results where from not decarbing the bud enough.
put the hash oil on parchment paper in a bowl. decarb the hash in the oven, this step is important. look it up, but i think it is like 250 f for 20-30 min. The hash will melt and bubble. Once it stops bubbling, let it cool down a bit in the oven, then throw the parchment paper into the freezer. Once it goes cold, it will turn back into shatter so you can get it off of the parchment paper.
Take some coconut oil and heat it up with a double boiler. I use a large metal ramekin (sauce cup). Once warm and melted. Toss in the decarb'd hash oil into the coconut oil. BHO fully dissolves really fast, you dont really need much coconut oil.
No you can use this coconut oil in any recipe. I like to double boil melting chocolate mix it in and then pour it in a thin layer over parchment paper. You can add coco powder and some more sugar to thicken it up, the coconut oil will thin out the chocolate. Then you can weigh the chocolate to get your dosing info.
1 gram of BHO is about 10-20 doses of edibles. 0.1g is nice for me. 0.2g eaten will rock me. 0.05g can wreck someone with out much tolerance.
Even subpar BHO makes good edibles.
Easy easy way to eat straight flower buds is to use NATURAL peanut butter. The kind that has oil on the top when you buy it at the store. Mix the peanutbutter up well so the seperated oil goes back in. Put the peanut butter in a metal ramekin. mix in dry well ground up weed. 0.3g to 1g of bud is a typical dose depending on how good it is.
Cook in the oven. 325f for 20-30min is good enough to get it to decarb. I like to wait until it smells like toasted peanuts.

Colorado resident here i'll tell you what's up. I hit up the dispensaries the first week they opened looking for edibles because I'd only ever smoked pot before. The girl advised me not to eat more than a fourth of the 100mg bar (25mg). But I develop a tolerance after the first dose so I could not get high 4 times off one bar. Then I went to thirds (30,35,35 w/ the dose going up to compensate for tolerance) and now I split them in half (45,55) and the smaller, first half still hits me harder.
If you were advised to take less than 10mg then that's why you felt nothing. With edibles, it's easier to take too much but also to take not enough. Also (w/o a medical card) these 100mg products cost about $20-25 so split that in half and it's not a cheap high. At some point it's worthwhile just to smoke it, but half a bar is a nice potent high lasting about 4 hours. I'd have to keep smoking to maintain that high which is what I normally like to do, but the main difference is with edibles IMO is you want to take the dose all at once rather than build it up drop by drop to get the most bang for your buck, with the risk then being that you can overdo it. I stole this link from the redosing thread I think may be relevant here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyphylaxis I'd say not to eat more than 50mg until you know what it's like.

how bout a gram of bho for a single dose (no prob if your making and/growing your own) for the OP?
maybe see for himself if he can really trip out with edibles or not.
i do 0.2grams decarboxylated and ground up buds / ml of coconut oil extraction run... 240ml oil per batch of cookies... 2 dozens per batch. so thats like 10ml - 2grams of decarbed buds per cookie... and at that concentration, its the BOMB.
