I took half an edible last night (first time, 5 mg delta-9, 50 mg CBD total). It was around 10 pm when I took it, I went to bed at like 1 am, was pretty high. I got up this morning and thought I felt normal, but it's been over 12 hours since I took that edible last night and I'm realizing I still feel a little goofy. Some brain fog, and kinda don't care about stuff still. Is it possible for someone to have this long lasting an effect? When i was younger I got laughing gas at a dentist once, and had a really strong reaction too it (felt super good, didn't care at all about the surgery, whereas other people in my family said it had no effect).

Guess I'm just trying to decide if I can do this stuff on a weeknight or not lol.

    Yes, it is possible, especially with edibles. I'm a dirty stoner and while I don't dabble with edibles the last time I took one I was pretty high the following morning.

    Although 5 mg is nothing, you just popped your cherry so your tolerance is really low. In other words it's very possible.

    Your tolerance will increase and you'll miss being able to get blasted like its your first time but yes, you will be fine and you won't feel so groggy once you're not a virgin.

      Yeah. 10 PM is a little late for me for edibles. If I take them that late, I'm generally asleep right as they kick in and I wake up in the middle of the night in a daze to pee, then a foggy morning.

        Yeah good to know, I'm in a weird living situation right now or else I probably would have started earlier.

      Cool, that makes sense, guess I'll live it up while I can lol. It's wild though cause it's almost been 24 hours now and I can still feel it lol.

    Do you take any allergy meds or supplements?

    Because I once went on a nearly 12 hour trip because I do

        Depending on med, some herbal supplement or even foods, it can mess around with how your liver metabolizes different drugs - could slow it down and make it go longer or speed it up and sober a little faster. I know st jon's wort and grapefruit both have interactions with cbd (maybe even thc), can't remember exactly how though lol. Benadryl I think can also impact thc metabolism in a major way.

    I've had delta-8 edibles hang around in my system for around 14-15 hours before, especially if I do a double or triple dose. I'm usually a wreck for most of the next day. A mellow wreck, but a wreck nonetheless.

    It could also just be the effect of sleeping high - it can kinda fuck with your sleep pattern and make you wake feeling unrested, but there might be some slight carry-over too

    I know - why would it make you so warm and snuggly if it fucks your sleep :sadness:

    Y'know I've never liked edibles for this exact reason.

    Smoke: high now, not high later. Great.

    Edibles: not high now, high later. Who wants that?

    I eat between 25mg and 100mg edible every night and yeah sometimes I can absolutely feel it the next morning. Through someone who works around it, I got these retail packages that couldn't actually be sold because the packaging doesn't reflect the THC content accurately and the outfit realized they had made a mistake when dosing them and they couldn't sell it legally. It seems like every pack is way overdosed, like I can take a 100mg edible but a friend & I took two of these from the same pack and we went to another dimension - we greened out and woke up 13+ hrs later and felt bizarre.

    edibles last way longer in your system then other consumption methods. If I take a large amount (for me 15-20mg) I'll normally end up feeling it a bit in the morning maybe 12-15 hours after I took the original dose. (body high is normally gone at this point, sometimes i dont realize im still feeling it until I start talking to people) 5mg is a pretty normal first dose, but I wouldn't exceed that if you have anything to do the next morning lmao.
