    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.

    alternatively, 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

    I 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

  I 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

  I’m told edibles only work if you say the magic words, which are “this shit ain’t doing anything”.

• zaphod@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  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.

  • PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.

  • paultimate14@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.

  • treesapx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    You 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?

    • Zorro@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Exactly this! I’d sooner not go if I can’t get high…sober at a gig? Fuck that, lol!

    Maybe they mixed up their edibles and regular old gummies?

      More likely they got sold regular gummies, believing them to be edibles.

  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.

      The hallucinogens and dissociatives are the real threat here. I can’t help people who are that fucked up over 2 gummies. Maybe you need to do 2 more often.

  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.

  • PieMePlenty@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Dude, 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.

    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.

    It is likely that your stomach is too acidic, that’s why they didn’t work on me. Eat it with something alkaline.

    When 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.

    source

    • chuckleslord@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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.

• MissJinx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Well 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)

  • TheBluePillock@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    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.
