rumschlumpelI already made that mistake once. Incredibly shitty night. Half of one would have had me zoning the fuck out and I ate two …
And preferably whenever you do drugs for the first time, get a sitter. Everyone being drunk/high/tripping/whatever makes for a poor situation if something does go wrong.
arctanthropealternatively, maybe don’t be with people with much higher tolerance than yourself. my first time with edibles my friends who were huge potheads and about half my size were taking like 80mg, so I said, “oh, I should be able to do like 50 then, right?” and they did not tell me no
BroadfernSounds like my first time with edibles too lmao
How many days until you were able to speak a coherent sentence after that?
I was fine the next day, but I remember almost nothing about that night, and what I do remember from early on in the evening is that I was worried I would get lost on the way to the bathroom
SubArcticTundraI thought my edible was spiked and got super nervous. Not to mention that I was alone. I made myself go to sleep ASAP and was fortunately fine the next morning
How much, lol?
Someone at a festival once gave me an edible, it didn’t do anything. Maybe I should’ve had a second one, because the one not doing anything was a little disappointing.
Careful the next time the opportunity presents itself. The previous experience has little bearing on the next as you have no idea of the efficacy of the random edible.
Oyu F'kaYou can’t consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?
You need to wait ~45 minutes, then loudly complain “these edibles ain’t shit!”
That’s the activation phrase. The THC in your metabolism needs to hear that to start working.
I feel targeted.

LenaWhen consuming edible THC there is a time between when you have consumed the drug and when the drug kicks in. During this time you would wait and not consume more drugs because you will over consume and have a less pleasant experience.
To expand on this, when smoking thc, it will hit immediately, peak within minutes, and last generally about an hour or two. When consuming thc, it will start to kick in between 15-45mins later, peaking in intensity at 1.5-2.5 hours, staying there for about 2 hours, and will still be effective for up to 6 hours after consumption. If you take more within the ramp up period (between 1-3 hours) and end up taking too much, you could be very high for the next 3-4 hours.
Alternatively, can you say you’ve lived if you’ve never greened out?
I took three once and forgot how to walk. Absolutely terrifying moment of my life. Never did it again. That was as the end.
The first several times I tried edibles they did nothing. I didn’t know that can just happen to people. So each time, I waited a few days and tried again. But, figuring the last one did literally nothing, I doubled the dose the next time.
I paused at 40mg, wondering if that was really a good idea. It wasn’t. When it hit, time literally stopped. A minute felt like an hour. But I had only myself to blame and I was super high, so I thought it was funny as fuck. I got ready for bed, giggling to myself constantly, then passed the fuck out.
It’s still funny to me, and it always reminds me that mindset is huge. That was the first time I ever tried weed and I could have freaked out, but I just accepted my mistake and laughed at how stupid I was. It makes it a good memory.
SeductiveTortoiseMe, 15 minutes after eating my first edible: this shit doesn’t do anything! I’ll eat a second one!
Me, an hour later: wheeeeeeee!!!! chuckles while flying around saturn
Guy IngonitoI did this with mdma and ended up in the icu
Can confirm, wait else your gonna have a rough time
BlueFootedPeteyMeh, if its a weed edible your fine to take a second.
Unless this is your first weed product ever, or you have weed/paranoia issues, yer fine with a second.
Sure but it’s a waste of money. After a certain point it stops being enjoyable.
Also at a certain point it becomes actively unpleasant. Like yeah, an evening of nausea as the world spins and time goes slow won’t harm me, but it will suck more than not being high
Id have to disagree for me personally, but yea I see your point it might be a waste of money for you (whoever this hypothetical person is)
Dharma Curious (he/him)I miss the cheap ass ditch weed of my youth. My tolerance is insanely low. One hit of anything nowadays and I’m too stoned and hate it :(
MissJinxWell it really didn’t work for me. My psychiatrist told me it’s not impossible since my medication do make me resistant to some types of drugs.
I was in amsterdam and since all my friends were smoking (i don’t know how to smoke anything and am super alergic) I decided to joi the fun and had an edible. They gave me only half, but a couple of hours later nothing had happened so I ate the other half. Well… still nothing happened. So I just went to sleep.
Btw I ate a couple of magic mushrooms (ate them raw, so idk) and also, nothing… So this was tested with a couple different of drugs.
To this day I never had the “on drugs” experience (besides my medication that is awesome lol)
SSRIs and the like will mess with shrooms. It varies by person, like all this stuff, but you generally need like twice as much. On meds, I got a nice high out of 4.5g. Off meds, I get hit harder than that from 2g. Shroom potency also varies a lot, so it’s not that odd to just have a dud.
Edibles took me several tries to feel anything, but did eventually just start working. They don’t for some people, so that is possible, but it could just take a few tries. I think it was 4-5 for me.
I actually can’t get high from edibles. It really sucks, I’ve always wanted to experience it since people say it’s different. I’ve tested myself by eating 3g of RSO. Probably once a year I’ll eat 1g to see if anything a changed and it never does.
Have you tried a beverage?
Did you try heating it before eating?
Dozzi92Dude, you’re not gonna believe this but hear me out. You are high right now. This isn’t real. Lemmy isn’t real. You’ve been high for what may feel like a year now. Its not been a year. You’re in your room on your bed. Its 10PM. Its July 2025.
No. You’re high. You think it’s the year 1999. It’s actually closer to the year 2199. You’ve been living in a dream world.
Edibles are bizarre.
I switched to edibles only right around Covid because… well, I was scared of Covid and compromising my lungs seemed like a luxury I couldn’t afford anymore (well, I probably couldn’t in the first place but that isn’t the point). RSO strictly does not work for me, as you’ve said — I have eaten copious amounts of RSO sober and it just doesn’t do shit.
Many of the dispensary edibles I tried simply didn’t work. I’m not sure if it has something to do with legislation not being strict on quality control, or if I got scammed, or if there’s something magical and abnormal about my stomach acid – I do not know.
Point is, I had to try many edibles before I actually found a brand of them that got me to where I wanted to be. You might be facing something similar, you could always try creating pot brownies yourself from scratch — unless you have.

whoisearthYou’re not missing much. It’s like the difference between getting trashed on red wine vs. beer. More of a body buzz.
You wanna feel amazing do bottlera through the nose that shit wrecks your brain. I will never be able to get as high as I did as a teenager because of that.
MoreFPSmorebetterI consume THC primarily through edibles so I am often the guy people come to for their first time getting high. I give new users 5mg and I tell them to wait for an hour. For first timers it can take a little longer for them to notice. Sometimes I will make sure they get up and do some jumping jacks or something to get that blood moving.
If after one hour a new user is not reporting feeling any different from 5mg I will give them 5mg more and tell them not to take another gummy for at least 5 hours. I would say 95% of the time that second 5mg they do start to feel it properly.
I should note that everyone is different and some people will not ever feel 5mg and some people (like my father) take 2.5mg because that’s all he needs. After doing this for years with a lot of people I feel confident in saying that 5mg and an hour wait should work on 75% of people.
My little sister who weighs next to nothing compared to me barely notices 10mg so your milage may vary. It’s a bit like alcohol. Some people get drunk off one glass of wine. Some people need a whole bottle to feel anything. Always take it slow your first time and it’s ok if you don’t feel anything the first time. There is almost nothing worse than going way too far on your first time with THC. My brother did that for me and I was coughing and throwing up for like 20 minutes before I basically passed out in the backyard.
well fuck, so yeah they just don’t work for me
last time I tried I took 30mg in an hour and I couldn’t tell if what I felt (calmness) was placebo or just because it was a beautiful fresh snowy evening
Poor Britney, man. Look at all the life in her eyes in that image. All gone now. Merica.
I’m told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are “this shit ain’t doing anything”.
I avoided this mistake by giving up (I only had two with me anyway). It took six hours to feel my buzz and it only lasted a few minutes.
Been there done that.

potoooooooo ✅️Yes. And it’s also extremely true with mushrooms.
e̶t̶t̶y̶b̶l̶a̶t̶a̶n̶t̶right? I saw this and was like acid too, kids!
Literally every edible horror story I’ve heard starts with “I took one but I wasn’t feeling it, so I took another one…”
I don’t know, just makes me sleepy
