when i was new to smoking years back, it was when i'd swear i was having a heart attack.
just a couple of years ago, after years of tolerance build up, I had the most freaky tripped out experience ever with cannabis.
I made cannabutter for the first time. had no idea how it came out or it's potency. I was well aware of being careful about taking too much and wait for an hour an all that. this was the first time i ever used cannabis as an edible. i swallowed about half a teaspoon. nothing, i waited over an hour and still nothing. so i took 3/4 of a teaspoon.
about 45 minutes later it started to hit me, it was 7pm, I remember looking at the clock. man i never knew what fucked up was until that night.
I've never done hallucinogenics of any kind, but I think it was almost at that level.
I started getting all these thoughts and ideas, it felt like they could overwhelm me. I started talking non stop. i was well aware of it and still i couldn't stop, i started talking about how i couldn't stop talking. my wife was laughing at me.
but then it started to get more intense as i was sitting in my chair, i was gripping the armrests trying to keep myself together and prevent my head from running away from itself.
this started at 7pm, i think i peaked at midnight, noticed i was coming down by 2am and by 4am i was pretty much normal.
during that whole time i didn't crave a smoke at all, i didn't even think to smoke a joint. normally between that time frame i would have smoked a lot. but i was so out there my body wasn't asking for more no how.
on the whole it was not fun and i couldn't wait for the effects to level off and feel like i was my normal self.
I have no desire to ever get that high again. I also realized it is a very fast way to build up a lot of tolerance quickly. after a trip like that a few hit off a joint isn't going to buzz you much. I slacked off smoking for a couple of days and it returned to normal.
