I hate edibles and I'm grumpy about it 1

I use to smoke a lot of weed when I was younger, until eventually I just stopped for some reason, and over the past few years I've been much more into mushrooms. They've been hard to get as I've moved a few times, so I'm thinking about just growing them, but in any case I've been dabbling in weed a bit again after many years of not really touching the stuff. I've been using vapes which has been quite manageable and even relaxing and enjoyable at times.
HOWEVER, i drank a SMALL!! Amount of a THC beverage some days ago, the whole drink was supposedly 100mg and I only had i don't know, a quarter? Or so? Anyway I greened the fuck out for like, 8 or 9 solid hours. I was a bit dizzy, very sleepy, depressive, and I get super droopy eyes so it feels like part of my brain goes dark. My mouth was super dry and I couldn't eat very well, which was frustrating.
But the worst part is, i was "hungover" (or still high??) for the whole next day, AND even still 3 days after I got so stoned!! This is just not something that happens to me with smoking, even if the high isn't always pleasant, I do eventually sober up. But I felt like I had brain damage, I've been very floaty, clumsy, forgetful, serious brainfog, and mood swings, mostly towards depressive and low self esteem. I was starting to get a little genuinely worried that I had somehow permanently harmed myself or caused some kind of psychosis, except that by very late today I finally started feeling somewhat normal again so I'm pretty sure I'll be fine eventually.
But seriously, 3+ days of symptoms from a small portion of an edible product??
I'm just annoyed at this point. I'm annoyed that it's so hard to find a weed product that I actually like, I'm annoyed it's taking so long to recover from that one dose, I'm annoyed that it's so hard to source shrooms that I might have to grow my own, I'm annoyed that shrooms aren't just LEGAL YET, lots of things annoying me lol.
It also made me think about how some of these products that are marketed as super-potent are made, basically it got me very sus. Remember when "marinol" was in the news years ago because it was supposed to be the "safe" "controlled" version of weed because it's synthetic THC, except it was making people act absolutely insane lmao? Before it was common knowledge that CBD and other compounds in weed mitigate the effects of the THC? That's the vibe it's giving, the edible experience is already so different from smokables, and it seems like it just gets more bananas as time goes on.
I'm sure it's probably nothing and I'm just mad about feeling so shitty lol, but it's just stuff I'm thinking about in my state while waiting to feel better. Plus there's not really any way to know how they make all that shit or what's actually in it anyway so. 🤷
Anyway.... don't fuck around with edibles especially if you're not already a heavyweight smoker (which I'm not anyway). Greening out is not a good or cool experience, i mean even some of my shroom trips that were approaching "bad trip" territory were at least somehow rewarding or healing or amusing. Bad weed trips are just bad. They're not really insightful, they're not stimulating or interesting, they just suck. I just still can't believe it's taking me this long to snap out of it again. Anyone else have days and days of consequences from an edible green out/weed hangover?

Everyone's different. I have a few customers that only use edibles. Some people prefer 1mg pieces, some people like 100mg doses. Some would barely feel even 100mg and need 150-200mg. I'm not too suspicious about it. It's serious medication when the dose is high and edibles are an easy way to dose high. But yea, people that don't expect a strong experience can green out and maybe edibles just aren't for them anyway. One person just takes them for sleeping, doesn't care to be high but loves how it knocks her out.

Im a lightweight but really enjoy taking small doses of dispo THC tincture. I mean like .27mls at 5mgs per 1 ml. Sounds like you just did too much my friend. If I took 25mgs, I'd be hatin' life too for a few days... Glad you're starting to feel better!

I begin to deform after 16mg of edibles, and it does not really straighen out for a couple of days. however I often have 5mg of water soluble thc and it's pretty good and not too dopey. always better after a break, which I am on right now.

100mg is a mega dose, in my view. For most people, 100mg of cannabis is something that can last a month or more of occasional use. A 100mg edible chocolate bar is typically divided into 5mg doses. So imagine taking 20 drug doses at once, and that's about the equivalent to your 100mg dose.
Yes there are some who can take that much, especially frequent users - but even among frequent users, doses that high are outside the norm. When I had no tolerance, 10mg sent me to the moon, 25mg sent me to the stars, 100mg was a severe greening, to the point of being unable to do anything the whole day.
I do think you might be able to have a good experience after some pause and reflection - when you come back to it, you might want to start at 5mg.

i agree that 100mg is a high dose. i like about 10-20mg personally. if you want to take a break and feel proud of making something, grow a plant and make your own canna butter. with an auto you could go from seed to harvest in 80 days so you'd get a nice break while tending to the plant.
i like edibles but when i buy them they all seem to be varying in effects/potency regardless of how many mg they say they are. but i mostly don't buy them because they're pricey.
making my own butter is dramatically cheaper, easier to find the right dose, and you know exactly what's in it. cannabis and butter. or olive oil or ghee depending on what fat you use. i use a .5tsp to dose with. If you were going to grow your own cubes, well you came to the place to learn how

Damn, that sucks! Taking too much THC edibles is an uncomfortable, sometimes very unpleasant experience. 
Perhaps there was a "floating" effect going on where there was higher concentration at the top of the drink. The other possibility is it had more THC than 100mg and it wasnt manufactured correctly 
I once bought a 50mg soda-edible product. That was perfect! Slowly drank like half over a half-hour period.
Nowadays, i really pay attention to the taste of edibles. On NYE last year, i had these potent edible gummies called "pearls". They were supposely 10mg each. I ate 2. The best tasting edibles Ive ever had! However, i greened-out as well. I noticed they still had a strong taste of "weed" but it tasted pleasant.
In my experience, there is little connection between THC smoking tolerance affecting THC edible tolerance. However, edible tolerance seems to affect smoking tolerance if you eat them a lot, at least in my experience. Sorta like a one-way tolerance effect.
One last thing. I feel its a good idea to keep Bud that is high in CBD on hand or keep CBD edibles on hand. CBD has the amazing ability of reducing the psychedelic effect of THC and would be useful in "greening out" situations.

There are 2/3 mg drinks out there. You just need to find the number that works for you. Less is more.

Edibles in general are kinda dodgy. I think that flower and concentrates are far easier to titrate and edibles are kinda like rolling the dice. Those beverages are even dodgier. Back before I lived in Colorado and I only had access to homemade edibles they varied greatly in potency, for obvious reasons. The stuff I can get from dispensaries is more predictable but they're still hit or miss.
I got a 100mg drink back in December and I kept nipping at it but I think I neglected to shake it up or something. I was thinking it was pretty weak until I go to the last shot and it felt like I got 90mg all at once.

The low dose stuff I've gotten here in CA has been fine. Just stay away from the high octane stuff. No need for a 100mg beverage unless you know that's your thing. 100mg would be a very unfriendly dose for me, and I expect for many. 10mg is about my speed, my wife is a 5mg person. One of me best friends happily downs 100mg or more. Not for me. I know that 20mg is my absolute limit and is usually too much.

10 mg thc on top of 25 mics of acid produced a cyclic numbing and squeezing feeling in the back of my neck top of head and to a lesser extent the upper body for a few hours.

I'm with you on that one, weed and shrooms you only have to manage a couple of hrs if it blasts you off and sends you to outer space.
On L, well thats a different story.
good advice from epilectric here

also to add, for what its worth.....
edibles seem to destroy me for some reason, vape pens or traditional joints im cool with.
just be cautious with drug synergies folks, been caught out a few times and it can be a very uncomfortable experience

I got probably more high and uncomfortable than I've ever been on edibles. Home made unknown strength ones. Passed out on the couch, woke up thinking I was dying of a heart attack. Same thing I was out of commission for a couple days.
Will never touch them again.

On more than one occasion I've jumped the gun and smoked too much weed too early into an acid trip and every time I get steamrolled.

I definitely prefer Pure LSD by itself however a small dose of edibles mixed in is quite nice too!

Edibles at the end is bliss. It takes the edge off the stimulant side, relaxes all your muscles and gets trippy again. Plus it allows you to sleep if you want.
