I once was lost but now I am found
It’s kind of inspirational actually searching for yourself with a bunch of other people helping.
We should start a club. Get 30 people together. Select a house in town at random. Then, we all show up at their door at 2 in the morning on a random weekday. We ring the doorbell until they groggily answer. We tell them we’re here to help them find themselves.
Heh the time in the bottom left is a nice addition
Yep, that was me the first time. I was so high it was ridiculous.
The first time I took edibles, I was solo and took too much. I was spaced out and far too aware of the wind blown by my ceiling fan as it touched my skin. It wasn’t even a fun trip.

That’s what I was trying to say. I ate a quarter, waited 30 minutes, thought “This ain’t shit!”

Then I ate the rest, and 15 minutes later I was so high I was miserable. Way, way too high. It was not pleasant. I learned my lesson.

What exactly do you do the whole time?

Like, just sit and wait for it to be over?

Well, reading comprehension is a good thing.

I thought I laid it out clear it was my first time, and like most folks who have smoked before, I didn’t know how long edibles took to kick in.

miiiight want to re-read the comment you replied to. they didn’t ask you why you did it, but what you did after. which though you answered, the “reading comprehension” comment is rather uh ironic there

Yeah, what you thought was a badass clapback in your head makes absolutely no sense, and reads as if it was written by an idiot.

Try harder.

Why are you like this?

Because I don’t like internet wannabe badasses, and I don’t like bullies.

Find a productive hobby.

Chief, you misinterpreted an innocuous question (what you were doing when you got way too high until it was over) and from there went on some sort of snarky and hostile comment spree. Nobody here attacked you or tried to “bully” you lmao

I’m wondering why this is so interesting to be an asshole about it?

Are you a child? Are you a novice pot user? A veteran would know what I’m talking about.

What’s going on here?

What are you on about man. Maybe lay off for a second and reread the whole thread. You are not even talking to the same person here
Alright, we’re done. You obviously want attention, and I’m not giving you any more.
💀 if you think me pointing out that you insulted someone over reading comprehension that you failed at is bullying then dang, you might want to sit down and have a hard think about what happened here and the idea of irony in general
…and what did you do while high?

Again… as I stated, I was so high that I secluded myself.

Why are you probing about this?

Because that’s what the other person asked. “Secluded myself” isn’t really an answer. I can seclude myself counting leaves in the forest, lay down and stare at the ceiling, walk circles around my room and try to make them perfectly circular…

It’s not that you have to tell; saying “I don’t know” or “I’d rather not say” would be an answer too. But you made a snide remark regarding the other person’s reading comprehension (why?) and fail to properly comprehend their question (or mine).

Buh bye.

Also, weed users who make that their whole personality are pathetic losers.

I mean if i was just chilling in the woods having a good time and a group of people came along and were like ‘theres a dude missing in the woods, we’re super worried about him, help us look’ id probably join them too. Seems like more of a failure by whoever called the search party. Of course that would never happen to me because I’d never tell anyone where im going and nobody would miss me.
“Curious how the name of the person we’re calling for is the same as my name”
“and they have the same outfit… we would make great friends! hope I can meet them 😀”

I mean if i was just chilling in the woods having a good time

That’s my kind of party.

Well, did she find herself?
When it comes to finding oneself, the journey matters more than the destination…

I feel like she purposely joined the search party. Why are they using the word “accidentally”?

Whether she knew she was looking for herself or not is a different matter.

It’s a cover story, she was trying to disappear and start a new life somewhere without extradition to get away from her life of crime before the consequences caught up with her. Bad luck to get swept along in your own search party but you’d only attract more attention by walking back out through the group.
She intentionally joined a search party, of course, but accidentally joined one that was for her.

Have legit tried edibles from multiple sources and nothing. Dabs and flower ok but edibles have had no luck.

Hoping its my luck, but could be the prenatal exposure 🤷

Here’s a weird question: do you have a gallbladder? People without a gallbladder tend to have that experience with edibles, or need a higher dose to get an effect.
I think some people genetically also lack the enzyme that converts the THC into whatever when it’s ingested.
Yea, it’s a thing. An ex of mine made funny brownies with a shitload of weed, and I got a small high from it at best. When smoking, I can get stoned fine. Also, might be because of my messed up metabolism I guess

I think I’m one. Tried weed multiple times in different types but never had any sort of experience let alone enjoyable one. Smoke a joint, just get sore lungs. Eat edibles? Bleh, just a gross tasting candy.

Only time I felt anything was after a 50mg gummy, and that was just a bit of light headedness for a half hour.

I would be very rich if I had your genes.
why?

Smoked a hell of a lot of weed and if I got no effect from it then I wouldn’t have kept doing it.

Although, to be honest I’m under no illusion I wouldn’t have self-medicated with something else, earlier than I actually did.

wow, i always thought edibles just sucked.
I do have one. Very interesting though.
You sure? Maybe someone stole it without you knowing. :D

Are you a ginger? Do you need more time for anesthesia to take effect or for your gums to be numb after dentist shots?

I’m working on a theory that if you have a high tolerance to the numbing stuff then the edibles don’t really work for you. I know someone that tried all different edibles cause they worked at one of the stores that sold it. None of them worked, except when they really overdid it and had a whole mushroom bar. Even then it was minor. Edibles just don’t effect some people.

Aren’t we all really in a search party looking for ourselves? 😔

Not me. I don’t care. The version of me that I’ve got right now is alright, I’m in no hurry to “find myself”. Either I’ll come across myself by chance or it can’t have been that important.

huffs excessive amounts of Copium

I found myself years ago. Been trying to lose myself ever since.
You’re not gonna believe this but I know this rapper guy who’s got like… a whole song about this
I wish I had a party.
Not all who wander are lost.
But we all can use a little…change
Omg. I’m here so high i was looking for the link to the article. I wanted to read and relate when it dawned on me. This is a meme.
