Is this a normal experience with marijuana edibles?
    #22326862 - 10/03/15 04:14 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes:

This was a few years ago, but the experience still stays with me vividly. My friend's older sister and brother-in-law made us pot brownies for his birthday. Quite a nice thing of them to do at the time. Regardless, I've always been a lightweight, and the kind of person who only smokes on occasion. It isn't uncommon for me to go several months without smoking. Needless to say, I was aware at the time that edibles could produce very strong effects, and when I had heard that there were pot brownies available, I was a bit hesitant over whether or not I should eat any at all.
Now, the brother-in-law brings down a pan of brownies and tells us not to give any to his younger son, you know, since they contain drugs. I think that it is also important to note that they did not use canna butter to make the brownies, rather they mixed dried flower into the batter and baked them like normal. I know this is the wrong way to do it, but I figured it is worth mentioning. My friend and his girlfriend each eat a very large slice, like a 5th of the pan each. I was then offered some, but I responded by saying that I'd rather not. Unsurprisingly, I was pressured to take some and "have a good time." So, I took a very small piece, something the size of the last joint on my thumb, maybe only a few cubic centimeters in size. I was told that that the quantity I ate wouldn't have much at all of an effect, and that it was pretty much pointless to eat such a small amount. But, knowing what I had read about edibles, I refused to eat anymore and stated that I just wasn't comfortable with the prospect of getting too high.
Fast forward about an hour. I don't feel any effects, and at this point, I just assume that I didn't eat enough. TBH, I don't think my friends were feeling much either, knowing how long edibles can take to kick in. They ended up leaving to hang out with some other friends, and I went home since I was feeling a little tired. After getting home, I talked to my brother and my mom, watched a few things on the computer, and went back into the kitchen to get some food before going to bed. At this point, it probably had been 1.5-2 hours since I ate that very small piece of brownie, and I had honestly almost forgotten that I had done so. I was definitely under the impression that I hadn't eaten enough and that wouldn't feel any effects, especially if I hadn't already. I was wrong, very wrong. Just as I was about to open the fridge, it hit me. It was like one minute I was completely sober, and the next I was at a [4] or [5]. I had a bit of an "oh shit" reaction at that point. What surprised me was that I just continued to get higher and higher. I had a bit of difficulty judging the passage of time, but I would have to guess that 2-3 hours later, a full 4-5 hours after ingesting that very small piece of pot brownie, I was still getting higher. The type of high was certainly different than any I had experienced smoking. It's a little hard to explain, but it was not like one I'd ever experienced up to that point. It wasn't until a good 6 hours after ingestion that I can honestly say that I started to return to normal.
I had originally planned on going to bed shortly after getting home, but I ended up staying up until 6 or 7 AM since I felt too stoned to go to bed. I remember thinking to myself that I was very very glad that I didn't listen to my friend, and that I only ate the small quantity that I did. I didn't have a 'bad trip' type experience that some have had on edibles, but I would definitely say that the high I experienced was uncomfortably strong, and lasted far too long for my liking. If I had eaten any more than I did, I certainly would have had a very bad time. I just don't think that I could have handled anything stronger. I don't have any way of knowing how much thc was in the small piece of brownie that I ate, but I do know that a "dose" is considered to be 10mg of thc, and supposedly produces mild effects. I can only imagine how high my friends got, considering that they ate probably 10x the amount of brownies that I did. I haven't eaten edibles since, but I certainly would like to if I have the chance to go into a recreational store in a legal state. If I get that chance, I plan on eating either one or one half of a 10mg candy to compare its effects to what I experienced, as I have been told that 10mg is a good starting point. Because of what I experienced, I just wouldn't want to consume edibles again without knowing exactly how much thc I was ingesting.
Overall, the experience wasn't what I expected out of edibles, and I was very surprised at how long it took to kick in, the length of the experience, and how strong the effect was. Is it common for someone to eat such a small amount and feel nothing for nearly 2 hours, then be very high for 8+ hours after?

I've heard stories of seasoned smokes getting completely caught off guard by their strength.  Apparently, tolerance for edibles is separate from smoking tolerance.  The common problem is that people will eat one edible, wait an hour, then think that they didn't eat enough, and eat one or two more and are high for 24 straight hours.  Method Man did an interview where he said that he ate too much and couldn't leave his hotel room for like 16 hours.  This is a guy who has been smoking for decades and probably has a sky high tolerance.

I once ate a gram of hash oil kinda by mistake. I thought it had hardened so I was going to gently suck it out of the tube but what happened is it all went into my mouth because it wasn't hardened :foreheadslap:
I got a pretty good tolerance but it didn't matter. I could really feel my heart beating and it was like I was exposed or something. I felt so damn vulnerable.
All I could do is sorta curl up in a ball until I fell asleep. I felt amazing the next day when I woke up though. :awesomenod:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11-Hydroxy-THC
Quote:

11-OH-THC is more potent than THC and crosses the blood–brain barrier more easily.[5]

Peak THC concentrations are lower after oral than smoked administration, but conversely, 11-OH-THC/THC ratios are higher after oral than smoked cannabis.[6] After oral administration, approximately equal quantities of THC and 11-OH-THC are formed, whereas 11-OH-THC is a minor constituent after administration by intravenous or smoking routes.[7] Because oral doses are processed by the liver before entering the bloodstream, oral THC produces high levels of 11-OH-THC, while smoked cannabis does not.[8]

11-Hydroxy-THC is subsequently metabolised further to 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC, which is not psychoactive but might still play a role in the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis.
