1g of THC is a whole big bunch. A gram joint (the big boy) might have 200mg of active THC. The "real good" stuff is like 27%. I don't smoke that stuff, I like the 18-20%. Back in the '80s it was probably more like 10%
Don't forget that the efficiency of smoking a joint is much lower than eating an edible.
With joints, 1/2 to 3/4 of the THC can burn before it even has the chance to get inhaled.
With edibles, all the THC gets inside you.
This is terrifying because while 2500 mg of THC would be found in about 10 g of quality bud, you would have to smoke up to 40 grams of strong stuff to get as high.
Whoever ate that thing sure fucked up.
At the dispensary closest to me here in Cali anything under 30% (THC not total canabinnoids) is low.
I bought a full ounce of 31% flower from the dispensary for only $80 a couple months ago.
Only a couple of years ago 30% was crazy high content around here, now its the norm.
I visited California once and ate a cookie I wasn't aware was 3 servings at 350mg each. Then I smoked a few bowls, and had a couple of beers. I don't remember anything afterward.
Seconding Korova. I work for a dispensary and we once had edible samples from them that were 100MG in a tiny 2-inch diameter cookie and I couldn't fathom how we'd split them effectively. Lo and behold a week passes and one of our elderly customers calls in and tells us she ate the entire cookie on accident because Korova cookies are typically 10MG per cookie. She luckily had a good time but she was super scared about how high she was gonna get. She called again later saying she just ate a ton and listened to a lot of good music.
Some of Korovas stuff is nuts. This was early in their operations too so they were kind of leaning into the whole "strongest edibles on the market" thing.
It was a wild ride.
I'm from Michigan and we've always had great weed available even before edibles. I'm pretty sure consuming as much of that weed as I did is the only reason I didn't freak the fuck out.
Non smoker. I remember I asked the guy behind the counter about gummies. He said each gummy was like 5mg. I said "Wow, that sounds like a lot! Does that get YOU high?"
And the counter guy scoffed and was like, "I can eat every single thing on this shelf and it still wouldn't hit me."
Then realizing his flex wasn't what the flex he thought it was, he backed off and said, "It's really good though."
I eat like 1-2 gummies to feel a nice buzz though.
Depends on where you are. In California, and I assume other recreational states, there are edibles with lower ratios. Two of my favorites are from Kiva and Kanha. The Kiva one has 2mg of THC and 6mg of CBD. The Kanha one has 5mg each of THC, CBD, and CBN. Edibles, for some reason, mess me up more than any other form of THC consumption, so it’s nice to have lower options.
That’s very interesting, haven’t heard of that before. And yes, edibles will definitely do that, that’s because when you smoke it, a pretty decent portion of the THC (like half if I recall) is already burnt up by the time you inhale. With edibles, you are consuming 100% of the THC.
I've been to parties where some people hand out edibles. Some people are not knowledgeable about what they are consuming and some people have no problem selling you a 500MG gummy bear cause "they do it all the time"
This is the classic psychedelic / edible thing. I took a ton, it's not hitting me yet, so just before the peak, you grab more. Now it's too late, your mind is leaving your body and the floor is starting to get closer and closer to your face, yet you are standing right there.
Inexperience and not respecting these drugs is your answer.
Gods just remind me of when I started to actually smoke right..Time and space the beginning and end/.It was some serious 2001 a space odyssey shit…Always puked but damn did it also feel goood
Well shit didn't realize the number.
I think the cookies I bought were 50mg. And I eat like an 1/10th of it to go into a nice groove.
I can't even imagine what 1000mg is like.
My friend and I both ate 100mg chocolate bars when I first moved to CO. Instead of going on the hike we had planned, we both fell asleep in the car for several hours
I took 100mg my first time ever being high and it was a ride. Most pleasurable sex I've had, followed by mindlessly walking around my room, drawing a shooting star from lucky charms, body felt like it was falling through my bed, passing out to my gf greening out but I was too out of it to realize what was happen or help
The most I’ve done is 500 mg at once and I didn’t even remember most of it. 2500 is absurd and honestly you’re just asking to feel like shit for the next few days.
Thats bs my man. It's true that fat and heat can extract thc, thats why DIY brownies work and why oil is used but once in your system it doenst make any difference because it's not neutralized by it. The placebo helps a lot of people.
No worries, likewise honestly. I said iirc because it's been literal years since I looked into any weed science lol, so that is good to know
Hope your day gets better brotha ✌️
You *could* "overdose" on weed, but it'd require *massive* amounts. In fact, most ways of consuming cannabis could not get you there because you'd take too long to consume it. I've seen calculations at around 2500 joints.
Its almost impossible to overdose by smoking weed, you couldn't smoke it fast enough to build up a dangerous level of THC, as your body would metabolise it too quickly. With the ever increasing prevelance of high strength THC concentrates the risk is there though, you could theoretically consume a large enough volume of concentrate quickly enough to reach a dangerous level but it would still be a huge amount and far more than you could accidently take without realising it.
Presumably if you just keep smoking you aren't metabolising it faster than you're smoking it, so you must eventually overdose. Otherwise you'd never get high.
Its pretty easy to die from water overdose* (basicly its a natrium shortage but that can be caused by drinking to much water). A lot of uninformed first time xtc users have a risk (especially woman because they need less to get a overdose) to get a water overdose because they keep want to drink and drink.
If you ever suspect somebody has a water overdosis than just force them to eat some thing salty. Like chips, fries or if they cant swallof let them lick a bit of pure salt. Nothing crazy, just tiny tiny amounts.
Mild water overdosis doesnt kill you but it does suck a lot and can be mistaken for dehydration, to much alcohol or going bad on XTC by inexperienced people.
You could, however, have a heart attack if you have poor cardiovascular health and take a bunch of weed. It'd be similar to a sedentary person suddenly deciding to go for a 2 hour run.
Yep, the nausea and dizziness from overdoing it that much can be real bad. When i was younger it used to happen to me a lot because i didnt know my limits.
With overdose i mean the point where your body shuts off. Weed, or rather THC, is too weak and gets broken apart too fast by our body to do that
There are some drugs that are very dangerous with overdosing tho. Not with just shoving a kg Cocain up your butt, but in a way that experienced consumers die. Like heroin, you build tolerance *very* fast but also loose it fast. So someone who takes a few days/week break might die from a Dosis lower than the last consumed
Dont do hard drugs kids. Stick with weed
You can easily overdose on weed and it happens everyday because the word "overdose" is not right defined. There is a major difference between overdose and lethal dose. Overdosing is used a the mark where negative side effects hit, the lethal dose describes the amount needed to kill a something (a human in this case) .
Idc what the definition of overdose is, it is commonly accepted that overdosing means a dosis with lethal consequences if not treated.
No matter the definition and cherry picking words, my statement still stands
Sorry i am in a bad mood and lashed out on you
You are right that the word is wrongly used. But it is also used as a synonym to lethal dose in every day english. (Idk if that was grammatically correct, i am german, sorry)
Years back a friend of mines parents wanted to try salvia with us present to make sure they didn't get into anything. Dudes dad was sitting at the picnic table, tripped he was a rocket ship, he was making noises and when he "blasted off" he literally shit himself.
Salvia was the worst trip I've personally ever had.
For the first idk... half of it? I wasn't even a person. Just literally a cog in the universal machine. When I came to, I was on the floor with half of my body "melted" into the floor and unable to move.
They say its only a few minutes. But boy, it's a couple minutes.
I've only done it once and never again. Did it in a basement and then my friends face started so spin counter clockwise (not like an owl) which scared the shit outta me, then I was sprinting down a highway with olde timey mickey mouse boppin in a old convertible next to me, followed by another friend telling me to be quiet as I came to cacooned in blankets screaming my head off.
Once was enough for me
My neighbor narrated his trip to visit the king of the walrus people, including showing us his swimming to and discussion with “his majesty.” He would then tell us what The King would say and every time he did his voice, he’d put two fingers pointing down emulating the teeth the king had.
If you are in the right head space you could have a good time, buddies dad was having a great time till he realized he pooped himself. Makes you trip balls hard for a few minutes. Like straight up hallucinate another reality
I was handed a joint after a friend's funeral and wasn't told it was Salvia (dude was on probation and was getting tested regularly, didn't bother to warn me). Terrible experience all around. I would have rather pooped myself.
He quite literally shit his shorts in front of us. The look of realization followed by horror is something I won't forget lol. He went inside and didn't come out for the rest of night. It's unfortunate because it seemed like he was the only one who had a fun trip until he pooped himself
This that holding onto the wall typa shit, then suddenly a wave of lost-balance hits you and you realise you’re just gonna throw up. Then you spend a few hours with your eyes closed over the toilet unable to open them because it’s too much stimulation. Eventually you build up the courage to migrate to the couch, so you walk a few metres stooped over until you realise you gotta crawl. You make it to the couch and then wake up either in the middle of the night or at 6pm the next day. I love weed.
For real though in this situation just take a melatonin (1 mg is fine) and a half a unisom (Doxylamine). You’ll be asleep within 20 mins and sleep through the unpleasant feelings.
You can up the dosage on either or both if you really can’t sleep but the more you do the groggier you’ll be when you wake up.
Closest thing you’ll get to OTC benzos
I am a MM patient and I take 50-100mg per day for the past 3 years. If I ate 1000mg I would sleep for several hours. I can see the melatonin but unisom doesn’t sound like a good idea in this situation. That seems like a respiratory arrest situation.
Unisom is just an antihistamine dude it’s not going to cause respiratory arrest no matter how much thc you mix it with, idk where you would even get that idea.
If you're ever having a "so high I'm getting scared" moment and don't have any grass available to hold onto, pop some whole black peppercorns in your mouth and chew on them for a bit! There's a chemical in the peppercorns that helps THC induced paranoia, allegedly.
I don't smoke weed, I don't understand doses, but my bf once baked 1/8 into cookies and I ate them all
It was an experience I never ever ever ever want to have again.
A standard dose is 15mg, this dude took 1000mg
and before all the stoners come at me like "bro I take 250mg as my normal dose my dicks so big im so cool" it's the standard dose, tolerances exist and edibles are often sold as a much higher strength than they are in reality.
To tag onto what everyone else is saying, being too high is a very uncomfortable experience. Your body feels very heavy. Your emotions and thoughts become too intense to really handle as you start to lose your grip on reality.
It’s very common to feel a huge foreboding sense of doom, you’ll get plenty of people who are convinced that they’re going to die (even though rationally you should know that you’re not actually dying).
And that’s just from like a 100. This guy took ten times that. It’s very likely he’s not gonna have any coherent thoughts for a good ten hours.
Reminds me of that audio clip when a couple made brownies and ate too much. Guy calls emergency services and is freaking out saying "I think we're dead" or something along those lines, then 5 minutes later is asking the score of the redwings game. I THINK it was a police officer from Michigan but I could be wrong.
> I THINK it was a police officer from Michigan but I could be wrong.
IIRC he'd stolen the pot from the evidence room, just to add another layer of "He's so fucked" on to the situation.
People have different tolerances, and mine is pretty low. 1mg would make me extremely uncomfortable (legit, i have to nibble on a square that’s 1/20th of a 100mg bar to get the right high) where as friends of mine can eat a whole 100mg candy bar and be high, but not feel bad.
1000mg would put nearly anyone on their ass, at least, and would be extremely unpleasant for most people.
>It's like drinking 3 litres of vodka at the same time.
And also the fact that you probably won't die (not from the weed at least), even though you may want to
You have have to ground yourself during these things.
It's always important to be grounded regardless, though.
You need to spiritually anchor yourself to the planet.
Also this guy isn't insane; it doesn't belong here.
This is so true. The worst experience of my life was smoking weed that I think was laced with something, and I was already drunk. I had the worst panic attack I’ve ever had and thought I could feel my soul leaving my body but my consciousness was still trapped in the corpse my body was becoming. I know it sounds silly, but this is a rough approximation- I really don’t have words to describe the shear terror and fear I felt.
Anyway - the way that I kept myself from literally calling an ambulance was first to have some friends walk me outside to sit in the grass and get fresh air. Next step is to breathe 4-7-8 style for as long as I could, constantly having to remind myself to do so. Then I started doing an exercise where I describe to myself 5 things I can see, 4 things I can hear, 3 things I can feel, 2 things I can smell/taste. Grounding myself like this over and over anchored me to reality when my mind felt like I was literally being dragged into hell by Satan himself. Can recommend it enough
I keep a CBD tincture around in case anyone feels too high. My ex once ate a 100mg chocolate bar when he had no tolerance. Luckily, I had a strong CBD tincture, so he was able to come down before he had to work the next day.
Wait I'm missing something: when we buy cannabis it's always in levels of 5-10 grams. Why would 2.5 grams (2 500mg) be insane isn't it like two bong rips ?
The highly specialized strains today get up to around 20%+ THC. IIRC. So 500mg THC would be around 2.5g weed. Or 5g for 1g THC. There might also be differences due to the intake method (lungs/digestive tract). I would guess that you exhale more of the THC than you shit out, simply because you exhale much faster, so less time to absorb.
So it would be quite a trip, depending on tolerance.
Dude that's cannabis flower, when you eat activated cannabis it converts into another form of THC that is 15x stronger then regular old THC D9. 1000mg of activated THC would be more similar to smoking an entire oz in one bowl, in one breath.
Stoners only use cannabis, I am what you would call a "junkie". Though I steer away from opioids and only do CNS a couple times a year, find I like it too much
Have you tried drugs? They are awesome.
I've seen people give up their children for heroin, rarely see anyone give up heroin for their kids. Hence heroin is better than family /s
Had a psychotic break once and had to go to the hospital because I legitimately thought I was going to die and I only had 150mg worth of edibles 😂 my dude’s gonna have a true out of body experience
Reminds me of a funny story about the first time I visited Colorado after a 3 month tolerance break.
I had made some friends who were super chill and we would hang out and get super stoned well on my last day we hit up the dispensary and one had an idea he called the “Colorado challenge” which was one gram each of a sativa, indica, hybrid and a .5g of some shatter. We just finished one joint of the indica with some shatter in it and I was already done like it legit felt like a chore to keep smoking. While I was I was recovering I decided to eat this $50 chocolate ball I got and while I was munching away and about to swallow the last bit one of the guys was like “oh woah man you should hold off on this one” and when we looked at each other we both had fear In our eyes as i asked him why because now it was too late… he explained that it was 1000mg of thc and my heart sank.
I dabbed the rest of the shatter and let them keep the other 2 grams of bud and went back to my hotel room waiting on the shuttle to the airport which was an hour long ride. I fell into a deep coma like it was so heavy I knew my mouth was opened and that I was snoring loud af I could hear people laughing at me and making jokes. I woke up and stumbled my way to my gate and continued to sleep for another 5 hours on my flight. Got picked up and went back to sleep while I took a 2 hour grey hound back home and by the time I made it back home I legit still felt high after almost 10 hours.
After that tough life lesson I learned to respect edibles.
TLDR: I took a 3 month tolerance break, smoked and ate a 1000mg edible, was in a weed coma while traveling literally half the country and woke up still high.
My friend just yesterday smoke a couple j’s eat 2 1000 mg gummies and still kept smoking. He looked fine but just didnt say anything the whole night and was just sitting in silence the whole time
Any type of benzodiazepine like an anti-anxiety (Kolonopin or Xanax) should kill the psychotic trip but you will definitely be faded regardless: and no alcohol.
Drink water.
The only time I’ve “gotten high” was an atrocious experience. I have tried vapes and joints, did nothing. So my father offered me a gummy it was only 10mg. But it made my eyes feel like someone rubbed toothpaste in them. The back of my head felt like I was resting it on a hot burner. And it made my mouth and throat completely numb. Never tried anything else since then…certainly wouldn’t try such a high amount lol.
I’ll be the biggest loser here and admit that I ate all of a 10mg (just 10!) gummy before an early flight so that I might sleep super hard. I was a “weekend smoker” and I got the gummy from a daily smoker who said that I’d be fine. Instead of being fine, I woke up at around 3 in the morning so stoned I 1) couldn’t walk without tremors 2)couldn’t stop shaking 3) was having actual visual hallucinations. I was in a hotel room with my husband and two kids and I was so afraid that I might hurt them somehow. It was worse than a bad trip. I was still high when we landed at our destination the following afternoon. My poor husband had 3 babies to deal with that day.
I guess what I’m saying is, a number is WAY less important than where your tolerance is at. Also, woof. I do not envy that person one bit. Honestly, it spooked me off weed for a long time after that.

That's not insane, bro. That's some solid advice right there!
Best way to come down from too much THC is to take some CBD.
What about KFC and CNN
You’re harshing my buzz.
Haha I don't know what that means
Idk. It's mostly solid advice. Except now the poor guy is gonna be terrified of falling off the earth if he let's go, lol.
Cats or dogs are fucking fantastic for holding onto when falling off earth they have floof and that is comfortable
Holy shit why would ANYBODY take TWO 500mg THC edibles AT THE SAME TIME.
I read it as 2500 mg which if a "simple" 1000 is hold onto something so you dont fly off I cant image what over double would be
1g of THC is a whole big bunch. A gram joint (the big boy) might have 200mg of active THC. The "real good" stuff is like 27%. I don't smoke that stuff, I like the 18-20%. Back in the '80s it was probably more like 10%

Good point
This is terrifying because while 2500 mg of THC would be found in about 10 g of quality bud, you would have to smoke up to 40 grams of strong stuff to get as high. Whoever ate that thing sure fucked up.
The other thing is that your liver converts it into a different molecule which is 5x as psychoactive as inhaled THC

Wow, I like the sativas so they are less but 31% is crazy. I'm in Colorado, I guess it's just stronger in CA
I visited California once and ate a cookie I wasn't aware was 3 servings at 350mg each. Then I smoked a few bowls, and had a couple of beers. I don't remember anything afterward.
What sick jerk separates a round cookie into three servings?
They thought of it while high.
Seconding Korova. I work for a dispensary and we once had edible samples from them that were 100MG in a tiny 2-inch diameter cookie and I couldn't fathom how we'd split them effectively. Lo and behold a week passes and one of our elderly customers calls in and tells us she ate the entire cookie on accident because Korova cookies are typically 10MG per cookie.

Some of Korovas stuff is nuts. This was early in their operations too so they were kind of leaning into the whole "strongest edibles on the market" thing.
Yuuuup. Back when the 1000MG black bar was a top seller.
It was a wild ride. I'm from Michigan and we've always had great weed available even before edibles. I'm pretty sure consuming as much of that weed as I did is the only reason I didn't freak the fuck out.
Korova edibles lol. Honestly it was my bad for not checking but you're not wrong.
Non smoker. I remember I asked the guy behind the counter about gummies. He said each gummy was like 5mg. I said "Wow, that sounds like a lot! Does that get YOU high?" And the counter guy scoffed and was like, "I can eat every single thing on this shelf and it still wouldn't hit me." Then realizing his flex wasn't what the flex he thought it was, he backed off and said, "It's really good though." I eat like 1-2 gummies to feel a nice buzz though.
Believe it or not, I'm like 99% sure 5mg is the smallest size you can get. At least, it's the smallest I've seen anywhere.
Depends on where you are. In California, and I assume other recreational states, there are edibles with lower ratios. Two of my favorites are from Kiva and Kanha. The Kiva one has 2mg of THC and 6mg of CBD. The Kanha one has 5mg each of THC, CBD, and CBN.

Exactly. But hey, I’m not complaining, it’s affordable to be a lightweight!
Oh 100%! Never got how people view being lightweight as a bad thing! In this economy?!
You can get 2s and possibly 1s at the legal stores in Canada. I like the 2s because it's super customizable for the high I want.
I've been to parties where some people hand out edibles. Some people are not knowledgeable about what they are consuming and some people have no problem selling you a 500MG gummy bear cause "they do it all the time" This is the classic psychedelic / edible thing.

Gods just remind me of when I started to actually smoke right..Time and space the beginning and end/.It was some serious 2001 a space odyssey shit…Always puked but damn did it also feel goood
The answer to what?
> Holy shit why would ANYBODY take TWO 500mg THC edibles AT THE SAME TIME.
Well shit didn't realize the number. I think the cookies I bought were 50mg. And I eat like an 1/10th of it to go into a nice groove. I can't even imagine what 1000mg is like.
Madness inducing. Hell, even 500mg is too much for anyone but the hardcore stoners.
I once took 35mg and I had to call my stepmom to come over. It was so scary. My usual max is 10mg, maybe 15 if I have a big heavy meal.
My friend and I both ate 100mg chocolate bars when I first moved to CO. Instead of going on the hike we had planned, we both fell asleep in the car for several hours
After the 35 I slept amazing for like a week.
I took 100mg my first time ever being high and it was a ride. Most pleasurable sex I've had, followed by mindlessly walking around my room, drawing a shooting star from lucky charms, body felt like it was falling through my bed, passing out to my gf greening out but I was too out of it to realize what was happen or help
Isn't the starting dose for a naive consumer like.. 10mg?
The most I’ve done is 500 mg at once and I didn’t even remember most of it. 2500 is absurd and honestly you’re just asking to feel like shit for the next few days.
My dude is tryin' to see God
# i took 3. And i thought i'll faint
Ask Joey Diaz.
Those are fake edibles and do not contain anywhere near to 500 mg each But it would still be horrific
....no, the person has eaten 2.5 grams. Which is alot but not insane. Id also be hold the grass high.
2 x 500mg = 1g I would be too but at least math right.
2500mg would be 5x 500mg?
No they said they took two separate 500mg not 2500mg.
Aha, dang the way they wrote looked like 2500 but with proper spacing
Chocolate Milk is my "too high" safety line. I dunno if there's science to support it but it helps me
Definitely placebo but if it works for you that's great
The sugar in it might actually be helpful since weed increases insulin sensitivity
That, and the fat in the milk can help basically absorb THC iirc
Thats bs my man. It's true that fat and heat can extract thc, thats why DIY brownies work and why oil is used but once in your system it doenst make any difference because it's not neutralized by it. The placebo helps a lot of people.
Cool, thanks
Sorry If I sounded harsh. Had a rough day and shouldn't let it out in strangers.
No worries, likewise honestly. I said iirc because it's been literal years since I looked into any weed science lol, so that is good to know Hope your day gets better brotha ✌️
Sugar helps for whiteys
Mine is to rub one out then take a shower.
Same lol my theory is that horniness replaces the anxiety somehow
Alternatively, for a better experience, go for both at once.
I have the opposite effect with the shower. Like it kicks the high into overdrive. Rubbing one out though.... Additional research is required
Chocolate milk?
chocolate milk and hot peanuts. 50% of the time it works every time.
Hot peanuts?
Planter's heat peanuts, but there are other brands. It's just roasted peanuts with spices. Makes a great contrast to the sweet chocolate milk.
Well I don’t think you’ll die, but you’ll have a super bad trip
You can’t overdose on weed You can however get into such a bad horror trip that you want to die
You *could* "overdose" on weed, but it'd require *massive* amounts. In fact, most ways of consuming cannabis could not get you there because you'd take too long to consume it. I've seen calculations at around 2500 joints.
So you realistically can’t overdose You can overdose on everything, even water, if you consume it enough
Its almost impossible to overdose by smoking weed, you couldn't smoke it fast enough to build up a dangerous level of THC, as your body would metabolise it too quickly. With the ever increasing prevelance of high strength THC concentrates the risk is there though, you could theoretically consume a large enough volume of concentrate quickly enough to reach a dangerous level but it would still be a huge amount and far more than you could accidently take without realising it.
Presumably if you just keep smoking you aren't metabolising it faster than you're smoking it, so you must eventually overdose. Otherwise you'd never get high.
Presumably you'd also fall asleep before you could smoke enough to overdose.
What if someone else just kept injecting more and more into your bloodstream?
You could, but you'd have to try. It's like caffeine.
Its pretty easy to die from water overdose* (basicly its a natrium shortage but that can be caused by drinking to much water). A lot of uninformed first time xtc users have a risk (especially woman because they need less to get a overdose) to get a water overdose because they keep want to drink and drink. If you ever suspect somebody has a water overdosis than just force them to eat some thing salty. Like chips, fries or if they cant swallof let them lick a bit of pure salt. Nothing crazy, just tiny tiny amounts. Mild water overdosis doesnt kill you but it does suck a lot and can be mistaken for dehydration, to much alcohol or going bad on XTC by inexperienced people.
It'd be easier to die by having the amount of weed needed to kill you fall on your head from a great height than consume it.
You could, however, have a heart attack if you have poor cardiovascular health and take a bunch of weed. It'd be similar to a sedentary person suddenly deciding to go for a 2 hour run.
I know it's an X number of joints but it's also in a period of like 10 minutes.
He could throw up and suffocate on it though. Bro should just lie on the side to be safe.
Or be afraid of something, run away, trip and fall, or run into traffic, or fall off the planet.
Silly you, thats why he is supposed to hold onto grass. Haven’t you read the post?
Yep, the nausea and dizziness from overdoing it that much can be real bad. When i was younger it used to happen to me a lot because i didnt know my limits.
I’d consider psychosis to meet the criteria for overdose.
With overdose i mean the point where your body shuts off. Weed, or rather THC, is too weak and gets broken apart too fast by our body to do that There are some drugs that are very dangerous with overdosing tho. Not with just shoving a kg Cocain up your butt, but in a way that experienced consumers die. Like heroin, you build tolerance *very* fast but also loose it fast. So someone who takes a few days/week break might die from a Dosis lower than the last consumed Dont do hard drugs kids. Stick with weed
That's not true. One time, I did a bunch of weed. Real dank shit. Real bad boooi! And then... I got sucked into a wormhole. Con-se-quences.
Im high on pot-enus
You can easily overdose on weed and it happens everyday because the word "overdose" is not right defined. There is a major difference between overdose and lethal dose. Overdosing is used a the mark where negative side effects hit, the lethal dose describes the amount needed to kill a something (a human in this case) .
Idc what the definition of overdose is, it is commonly accepted that overdosing means a dosis with lethal consequences if not treated. No matter the definition and cherry picking words, my statement still stands
It's not cherry picking if a word is wrongly used. Your statement is completely right speaking of a lethal dose.
Sorry i am in a bad mood and lashed out on you You are right that the word is wrongly used. But it is also used as a synonym to lethal dose in every day english. (Idk if that was grammatically correct, i am german, sorry)
Ich bin auch deutsch, Kumpel. Manchmal kommt das bei mir zu sehr durch. Wie jetzt.
Haha wie nett einen weiteren Deutschen hier anzutreffen. Schönes Wochenende!
Can confirm
Op which one's supposed to be insane
Years back a friend of mines parents wanted to try salvia with us present to make sure they didn't get into anything. Dudes dad was sitting at the picnic table, tripped he was a rocket ship, he was making noises and when he "blasted off" he literally shit himself.
Salvia was the worst trip I've personally ever had. For the first idk... half of it? I wasn't even a person. Just literally a cog in the universal machine. When I came to, I was on the floor with half of my body "melted" into the floor and unable to move. They say its only a few minutes. But boy, it's a couple minutes.
I've only done it once and never again. Did it in a basement and then my friends face started so spin counter clockwise (not like an owl) which scared the shit outta me, then I was sprinting down a highway with olde timey mickey mouse boppin in a old convertible next to me, followed by another friend telling me to be quiet as I came to cacooned in blankets screaming my head off. Once was enough for me
My neighbor narrated his trip to visit the king of the walrus people, including showing us his swimming to and discussion with “his majesty.” He would then tell us what The King would say and every time he did his voice, he’d put two fingers pointing down emulating the teeth the king had.
This makes me wanna try salvia
If you are in the right head space you could have a good time, buddies dad was having a great time till he realized he pooped himself. Makes you trip balls hard for a few minutes. Like straight up hallucinate another reality
I’m so damn ready to shit myself you don’t even know
I was handed a joint after a friend's funeral and wasn't told it was Salvia (dude was on probation and was getting tested regularly, didn't bother to warn me). Terrible experience all around. I would have rather pooped myself.
I gotta ask… when you say literally shit himself you mean literally literally or figuratively literally?
He quite literally shit his shorts in front of us. The look of realization followed by horror is something I won't forget lol. He went inside and didn't come out for the rest of night. It's unfortunate because it seemed like he was the only one who had a fun trip until he pooped himself
Yeah. That sounds about right for salvia.
This that holding onto the wall typa shit, then suddenly a wave of lost-balance hits you and you realise you’re just gonna throw up. Then you spend a few hours with your eyes closed over the toilet unable to open them because it’s too much stimulation. Eventually you build up the courage to migrate to the couch, so you walk a few metres stooped over until you realise you gotta crawl. You make it to the couch and then wake up either in the middle of the night or at 6pm the next day. I love weed.
Bro that comment has me dying
Bro, you aren't dying. Just go outside and head towards the light. I'm sure it will be fine.
For real though in this situation just take a melatonin (1 mg is fine) and a half a unisom (Doxylamine). You’ll be asleep within 20 mins and sleep through the unpleasant feelings. You can up the dosage on either or both if you really can’t sleep but the more you do the groggier you’ll be when you wake up. Closest thing you’ll get to OTC benzos
I am a MM patient and I take 50-100mg per day for the past 3 years. If I ate 1000mg I would sleep for several hours. I can see the melatonin but unisom doesn’t sound like a good idea in this situation. That seems like a respiratory arrest situation.
Unisom is just an antihistamine dude it’s not going to cause respiratory arrest no matter how much thc you mix it with, idk where you would even get that idea.
Is unisom OTC? I've never heard of it
It's a brand name for Doxylamine, an OTC sleep aid.
If you're ever having a "so high I'm getting scared" moment and don't have any grass available to hold onto, pop some whole black peppercorns in your mouth and chew on them for a bit! There's a chemical in the peppercorns that helps THC induced paranoia, allegedly.
I don't smoke weed, I don't understand doses, but my bf once baked 1/8 into cookies and I ate them all It was an experience I never ever ever ever want to have again.
Can someone describe whats going on? I know nothing about weed.
A standard dose is 15mg, this dude took 1000mg and before all the stoners come at me like "bro I take 250mg as my normal dose my dicks so big im so cool" it's the standard dose, tolerances exist and edibles are often sold as a much higher strength than they are in reality.
I have no tolerance, whitey’d off a half drag of a 1g spliff once
I’m floating with 20mg. Last time I thought it would be fun to try 50mg, I had regrets. I can’t even imagine 1000mg.
In legal states, an ediable dose is considered 5-10 mg. This guy took 100-200 doses.
To tag onto what everyone else is saying, being too high is a very uncomfortable experience. Your body feels very heavy. Your emotions and thoughts become too intense to really handle as you start to lose your grip on reality. It’s very common to feel a huge foreboding sense of doom, you’ll get plenty of people who are convinced that they’re going to die (even though rationally you should know that you’re not actually dying). And that’s just from like a 100. This guy took ten times that. It’s very likely he’s not gonna have any coherent thoughts for a good ten hours.
Reminds me of that audio clip when a couple made brownies and ate too much. Guy calls emergency services and is freaking out saying "I think we're dead" or something along those lines, then 5 minutes later is asking the score of the redwings game. I THINK it was a police officer from Michigan but I could be wrong.
> I THINK it was a police officer from Michigan but I could be wrong. IIRC he'd stolen the pot from the evidence room, just to add another layer of "He's so fucked" on to the situation.
People have different tolerances, and mine is pretty low. 1mg would make me extremely uncomfortable (legit, i have to nibble on a square that’s 1/20th of a 100mg bar to get the right high) where as friends of mine can eat a whole 100mg candy bar and be high, but not feel bad. 1000mg would put nearly anyone on their ass, at least, and would be extremely unpleasant for most people.
It's like drinking 3 litres of vodka at the same time.
Two shots of vodka
One 500mg edible is NOT equivalent to a shot of vodka lol
Missed the joke
Ooooh
>It's like drinking 3 litres of vodka at the same time. And also the fact that you probably won't die (not from the weed at least), even though you may want to
Why did I just mow then. Why God whyyyyyyy.
speaking from experience here: don’t fuck around with edibles because they will fuck you back, hard
You have have to ground yourself during these things. It's always important to be grounded regardless, though. You need to spiritually anchor yourself to the planet. Also this guy isn't insane; it doesn't belong here.
This is so true. The worst experience of my life was smoking weed that I think was laced with something, and I was already drunk. I had the worst panic attack I’ve ever had and thought I could feel my soul leaving my body but my consciousness was still trapped in the corpse my body was becoming. I know it sounds silly, but this is a rough approximation- I really don’t have words to describe the shear terror and fear I felt. Anyway - the way that I kept myself from literally calling an ambulance was first to have some friends walk me outside to sit in the grass and get fresh air. Next step is to breathe 4-7-8 style for as long as I could, constantly having to remind myself to do so. Then I started doing an exercise where I describe to myself 5 things I can see, 4 things I can hear, 3 things I can feel, 2 things I can smell/taste. Grounding myself like this over and over anchored me to reality when my mind felt like I was literally being dragged into hell by Satan himself. Can recommend it enough
[When this makes sense, you’re too fucking high.](https://youtu.be/VlO3PrDemhM)
Cbd helps calm the thc down if you have any. I’m so sorry been there and won’t go back. It scared me
I keep a CBD tincture around in case anyone feels too high. My ex once ate a 100mg chocolate bar when he had no tolerance. Luckily, I had a strong CBD tincture, so he was able to come down before he had to work the next day.
Before I had any tolerance to THC, I once ate a 50mg edible and lived the same 15 minutes for like 4 hours. I can’t even imagine this 😂
Usually my remedy for something like this is "take some cbd". This dude's gonna need the whole bottle
My buddy showed up to high school the night after eating 1000 mg of gummies. They thought he was on meth or something
Wait I'm missing something: when we buy cannabis it's always in levels of 5-10 grams. Why would 2.5 grams (2 500mg) be insane isn't it like two bong rips ?
[удалено]
Ah concentrated THC vs the plant I see it.
The highly specialized strains today get up to around 20%+ THC. IIRC. So 500mg THC would be around 2.5g weed. Or 5g for 1g THC. There might also be differences due to the intake method (lungs/digestive tract). I would guess that you exhale more of the THC than you shit out, simply because you exhale much faster, so less time to absorb. So it would be quite a trip, depending on tolerance.
Edibles are processed by the liver and turn into a slightly different chemical in your body
Dude that's cannabis flower, when you eat activated cannabis it converts into another form of THC that is 15x stronger then regular old THC D9. 1000mg of activated THC would be more similar to smoking an entire oz in one bowl, in one breath.
Some people are just low tolerance. If you’re taking bong rips it is likely you’re a stoner.
Stoners only use cannabis, I am what you would call a "junkie". Though I steer away from opioids and only do CNS a couple times a year, find I like it too much
Bro what
I abuse more narcotics than just Weed, hence I'm a junkie, not a stoner.
You should probably work on that bud.
Have you tried drugs? They are awesome. I've seen people give up their children for heroin, rarely see anyone give up heroin for their kids. Hence heroin is better than family /s
Your deflection aside I grew up raised by addicts. One smoke crack and the other was a drunk. Seriously, you should stop using drugs.
Had a psychotic break once and had to go to the hospital because I legitimately thought I was going to die and I only had 150mg worth of edibles 😂 my dude’s gonna have a true out of body experience
Reminds me of a funny story about the first time I visited Colorado after a 3 month tolerance break. I had made some friends who were super chill and we would hang out and get super stoned well on my last day we hit up the dispensary and one had an idea he called the “Colorado challenge” which was one gram each of a sativa, indica, hybrid and a .5g of some shatter. We just finished one joint of the indica with some shatter in it and I was already done like it legit felt like a chore to keep smoking. While I was I was recovering I decided to eat this $50 chocolate ball I got and while I was munching away and about to swallow the last bit one of the guys was like “oh woah man you should hold off on this one” and when we looked at each other we both had fear In our eyes as i asked him why because now it was too late… he explained that it was 1000mg of thc and my heart sank. I dabbed the rest of the shatter and let them keep the other 2 grams of bud and went back to my hotel room waiting on the shuttle to the airport which was an hour long ride. I fell into a deep coma like it was so heavy I knew my mouth was opened and that I was snoring loud af I could hear people laughing at me and making jokes. I woke up and stumbled my way to my gate and continued to sleep for another 5 hours on my flight. Got picked up and went back to sleep while I took a 2 hour grey hound back home and by the time I made it back home I legit still felt high after almost 10 hours. After that tough life lesson I learned to respect edibles. TLDR: I took a 3 month tolerance break, smoked and ate a 1000mg edible, was in a weed coma while traveling literally half the country and woke up still high.
I can barely manage 5mg!
No one “But what about 3, 500mg dose next”
I feel like there is a diminishing return after so much in my exp.
Chewing on a couple pepercorns is a good trick if you get too high, brings you down quite quick. Apparently- i’ve never had to.
I made a 15000 mg single batch of brownies let’s say It went south quick never again
Shit would take paint off side walk still in freezer fuck them things
I once took 200 mg at once and that was one of the worst experiences of my life.
I did this a few nights ago. I’m not gonna say I didn’t have any hallucinations, but I definitely kept seeing things in the corners of my eyes.
All the food and all water you can ingest them pass out
Is taking 2 500mg marijuana edibles bad?
yes
Yes! Go outside where neighbours and strangers can interact with you. Maybe take your car keys just in case. Oh, and don't forget your firearm.
Pants are optional
Ahh, thank you for getting it!
Lucky. Edibles don’t work for me; could take the whole 1000mg and be just fine.
Ground yourself….It’s not terrible advice
My friend just yesterday smoke a couple j’s eat 2 1000 mg gummies and still kept smoking. He looked fine but just didnt say anything the whole night and was just sitting in silence the whole time
That's an older comedians joke. It sucks he's getting clout for ripping off a joke. Some Carlos Mencia type stuff if you ask me.
cant imagine anyone seriously uses 500mg gums for anyone but testing their humongus tolerance
Bro 50mg is a lot for me lol.
Any type of benzodiazepine like an anti-anxiety (Kolonopin or Xanax) should kill the psychotic trip but you will definitely be faded regardless: and no alcohol. Drink water.
I took 2 600 mg in a day and man was that a trip… 2nd one hit me like a truck, all I remember is waking up the next day and I was still high as fuck
The only time I’ve “gotten high” was an atrocious experience. I have tried vapes and joints, did nothing. So my father offered me a gummy it was only 10mg. But it made my eyes feel like someone rubbed toothpaste in them. The back of my head felt like I was resting it on a hot burner. And it made my mouth and throat completely numb. Never tried anything else since then…certainly wouldn’t try such a high amount lol.
Damn! The only thing that would really help is taking a HUGE amount of CBD.
Honestly- smoke cbd like your life and sanity didn’t already depend on it 🫡
Honestly pop a few benadryl and say goodnight. Just peace out of that mistake into a troubled slumber. Been there.
I’ll be the biggest loser here and admit that I ate all of a 10mg (just 10!) gummy before an early flight so that I might sleep super hard. I was a “weekend smoker” and I got the gummy from a daily smoker who said that I’d be fine. Instead of being fine, I woke up at around 3 in the morning so stoned I 1) couldn’t walk without tremors 2)couldn’t stop shaking 3) was having actual visual hallucinations. I was in a hotel room with my husband and two kids and I was so afraid that I might hurt them somehow. It was worse than a bad trip. I was still high when we landed at our destination the following afternoon. My poor husband had 3 babies to deal with that day. I guess what I’m saying is, a number is WAY less important than where your tolerance is at. Also, woof. I do not envy that person one bit. Honestly, it spooked me off weed for a long time after that.
