Never felt anything like it, but it brought me back to how I was in my childhood and I could even play more video games and enjoy myself more.
Like, damn.
Just one edible, I took. Sativa. Peach-flavored. From Beyond / Hello.
Before that, I took half of an edible.
I was relaxed and my head was swimming, but I felt in control.
I had to lie down at first, though, but I wasn't worried.
My interoception (feeling your own body) was on fire though.
I will tell you now that you're beginning your weed journey, sometime you will do too much. Time will stop. You will feel like you are definitely going to die and that the dying will last forever.
I am going to tell you now that it will not last forever, you will not die, you will be okay, it will go away.
Also moderation is your friend. I know that the trope is that nobody can ruin their life with weed but you absolutely can. Nothing wrong with using it to relax or enjoy yourself now and again but the majority of the people I know that do it daily have major issues as a result.
Yeah, so don't get high more than once a month. That's what someone told me.
And don't use it too much beyond that.
I think it's different for everyone, moderate yourself however you're comfortable moderating. I think most months I have a few small puffs of my vape pen a few days a month, and then one big edible evening once ish a month, and that works really well for me. Some people do less, some people do more. I just think that folks who smoke all day every day are probably not in as healthy as a place as they claim to be, and my evidence for that is basically their entire life. I also don't necessarily blame them though we all have to do what we have to do to cope in capitalism and for some folks the way they need to cope is to be constantly slightly high. I just don't think that's something to aspire to.
Yeah, definitely not something to aspire to.
"I just think that folks who smoke all day every day are probably not in as healthy as a place as they claim to be, and my evidence for that is basically their entire life."
Yeah, and I get that.
I'm not going to do it "every day."
I'm going to take an edible every now and then, I think, and not get high too often as well.
Sounds very enjoyable :)
It will be, I'm sure.
When I get heavy into weed, it's like 3-5 times a week. Mostly just don't do to many full day trips and you should be fine. If you feel lethargic the day after then maybe ease up a bit.
Basically listen to your body and don't treat it like a crutch from like a bad day or whatever and you should be fine.
I got a friend who basically smoked 3-4 times a day for like 15 years and he's a bit fried.
Yeah, I'm looking to not be a pothead.
I think once a week sounds reasonable, at least for me, right now.
Lol I wasn't trying be a "everyone is doing it" dude. Once a week as a weekly "nightcap" is nice.
Yeah, agreed.
lmao I remember the first time I felt like the dying would last forever. I tried telling myself "you KNOW this won't last forever, no one gets too high forever" and then thinking "but what if, like, my PERCEPTION of time lasts forever and I'm trapped in this state forever because that's how my perception works now?"
Then I laid down and fell asleep and woke up only a little high
Easily the best advice. Being told nonstop how weed is nothing but pure euphoria does not prepare people well for the times things get too difficult. They're not common but they happen and that's how people end up thinking their weed is laced with pcp but na weed can just be strong as fuck.
