Did you smoke more pot/take more gummies after it became legal in your state? (4 Viewers)

[Navin Johnson]

Need some advice. I haven't smoked weed in over 20 years. I did spend a good 10 years smoking pretty heavily. Snowboarding and weed were my thing. I have never taken a gummy. They came well after my weed days. My wife and kids are out of town and a friend offered me a gummy. I turned it down then ended up deciding to try it.

The package is Cloud 8 500 mg delta 9 thc. Might as well be in French. Ha ha. The directions say to eat half? Any gummy gurus got some info for me? 500mg a lot or a little? I plan on staying home and eating and watching TV. Kinda ashamed but im looking forward to it tomorrow.

I don't know the difference between THC-9 and THC. I think they're pretty much the same in terms of effect. THC-8 is weaker.

Is the dosage 500 mg per edible, or 500 mg per the entire package of edibles?
If you're taking 250 mg --- just don't do it. It's way too much. Just don't.
If you're taking 25 mg, that's still way too much for me but may be OK for some people. I'd suggest starting with 5 mg.

Good post. After further review of package they are 25 mg per gummy. I think I'll eat half. Im old now. Ha ha

5mg usually gets me a good buzz, I have been taking 10mg lately only because my parents brought me a 100mg gummy that is difficult to cut into smaller pieces. I have 25mg tabs that I quarter.

Looks like I'm an outlier. 70mg is my sweet spot, but I've had a little "practice" so ymmv. Definitely start at 5mg and take more if needed. Much easier to take more vs trying to undo too much.

Old stoner trick if you do overdo it is chewing on a few peppercorns to mellow it out. Tic toc seems to think it's new, but this has been around forever.

TikTok users are easing their weed-induced anxiety by chewing peppercorns and drinking lemon juice — and it's based on real science

TikTok users are trying peppercorns and lemons to calm weed-induced anxiety. The foods contain terpenes that can help balance out THC.

Does your state have legal drinks? The weed drinks are a nice way to replace alcohol. You can get them in 2.5, 5 and 10 usually. I kind of consider 2.5 to be equal to a beer. You can get a nice controllable buzz with them and it has the same act as drinking.

I started out with 5mg (a quarter 20mg gummy) but found a half (10mg) to be the sweet spot. Takes a special occasion to have the whole gummy for me. About $2 per gummy + taxes in my area unless you shop the deals page.

Never had these, but that sounds pretty awesome. Quit drinking a few years back since I have an allergy to alcohol and break into handcuffs. This sounds like a perfect way to drink without drinking and not be a total social outcast at BBQ's.

Oh ya. Don't judge me. I deserve this.

I consume ~5 mgs most evenings. That's plenty to help my mind and body relax a bit and I can turn my brain off before sleep without going to another planet. I usually buy 10 gummy packs that are 10 mgs each.

500 mgs or just taking half at 250 mgs would likely send me to a different universe and would make me feel way too out of control. I would encourage you to take a very small bite and give it a couple of hours and see how you feel.

If @Major chimes in on this, ignore him.

Texas is banning all the alt delta products again. There are so many dispensary they this might cause a real estate crash.

No legal in my state (SC).

We'll be one of the last ones unfortunately.

Normal THC hasn't been legal but all the alts have been ok. THC is legal with a medical card. That isn't changing.

The alts for many many people do just as well.

You'd think but the hypocrisy is thick down here. And to culdeus' point, every few blocks in Houston, Austin and Dallas there is bound to be a vape/delta shop. So much for that pro business party thing.

Good post. After further review of package they are 25 mg per gummy. I think I'll eat half. Im old now. Ha ha

5mg usually gets me a good buzz, I have been taking 10mg lately only because my parents brought me a 100mg gummy that is difficult to cut into smaller pieces. I have 25mg tabs that I quarter.

Appreciate everyone's feedback. I'd just like a buzz where I can enjoy myself, relax, watch tv and eat some food. I do not want a comatose drool experience where I just want to sleep. Ha ha

Update?

Never had these, but that sounds pretty awesome. Quit drinking a few years back since I have an allergy to alcohol and break into handcuffs.

That's a creative way to describe getting arrested.

Need some advice. I haven't smoked weed in over 20 years. I did spend a good 10 years smoking pretty heavily. Snowboarding and weed were my thing. I have never taken a gummy. They came well after my weed days. My wife and kids are out of town and a friend offered me a gummy. I turned it down then ended up deciding to try it.

The package is Cloud 8 500 mg delta 9 thc. Might as well be in French. Ha ha. The directions say to eat half? Any gummy gurus got some info for me? 500mg a lot or a little? I plan on staying home and eating and watching TV. Kinda ashamed but im looking forward to it tomorrow.

I don't know the difference between THC-9 and THC. I think they're pretty much the same in terms of effect. THC-8 is weaker.

Is the dosage 500 mg per edible, or 500 mg per the entire package of edibles?

5mg usually gets me a good buzz, I have been taking 10mg lately only because my parents brought me a 100mg gummy that is difficult to cut into smaller pieces. I have 25mg tabs that I quarter.

I started out with 5mg (a quarter 20mg gummy) but found a half (10mg) to be the sweet spot. Takes a special occasion to have the whole gummy for me. About $2 per gummy + taxes in my area unless you shop the deals page.

I can get 100mg for under $10 (plus taxes) in the Santa Cruz area so about the same $ I guess. Prefer to have the 10x 10mg because it's easier to break up into 5mg, but Iam down to the 1x100mg so I am taking about 10mg a pop now for the next few months. Still got about 250mg before we go back

For regular gummy users please ignore this post. For first timers or people looking to try them take this as an honest review from someone who has never tried:


I took in everyone's input and then just decided to take the entire 25 mg gummy. I concluded half measures don't make sense. I have no responsibilities for the evening so it's full measure time.

I knew if the hunger hit I wanted food on the ready. Grilled some burgers and mushrooms, then made a big shrimp cocktail. Put some peach pasties and cinnamon rolls in the oven. Had the chips and salsa ready. I was set.

Throughout the night I never had this moment where I thought I'm really messed up. It was subtle things I did that said I was in a decent spot.

I called the dogs inside saying the word "breat" instead of "treat." In my mind, I literally thought I was tricking them because they couldn't tell the difference. I believed I didnt owe them a treat. I began laughing at myself.

I spent about an hour flipping through countless clips of guitar solos from the 80s and 90s. I caught myself studying strum hand fingering positionings. I began laughing at myself.

Made peach pastries. Was upset we were out of whip cream, but instantly felt joy when I knew we had vanilla ice cream. Put ice cream in bowl and started cutting the peach pastries into slices over the ice cream with my kitchen scissors. I stopped cutting and just started laughing because this got way too fancy fast.

I spent prolly 30 minutes individually holding each one of my 7 lbs dogs scratching their head and looking into their eyes. I was trying to figure out which one loves me the most. I had quite a few tender moments eye gazing with each one. I began laughing at myself.

Scrolled my feed and saw a quote, "Sobriety is when your children look at you and trust what they see." Hit me hard. Spent the next 45 minutes wondering if I was a good father. I began laughing at myself.

I spent prolly 30 minutes staring at the food in my kitchen in the eyes of how much protein is in each item. I concluded protein is everywhere but some items have way more. I began laughing at myself.

I think overall the experience was quite nice. Just put me in nice state of mind. So calm. It's just way different then back in the day getting stoned. Back in the day when you got stoned, you had an immediate physical response, followed by moments screaming I'm so high. I never felt this with the gummy. These gummies are like a slow cooking crock pot. A wonderful and gradual increase in calmness. The calmness was just so relaxing. Bottom line, I just felt silly and wanted to laugh, but also felt like a really smart deep thinker. I can see these being helpful to people with stress. Also, I'm fit and really watch my calories. I ate more calories last night then last week combined. It was embarrassing how much I ate. These gummies will add weight to you. No question.

This all seems spot on! Glad you enjoyed yourself and keep this experience in mind if you ever feel like you can imbibe and then go out in public or to a social gathering.

It's not legal where I live, but I go to Missouri a couple of times a year and less than a mile from where I go each time is a legal dispensary. I make it a point to visit each time for some gummies called Cherry Bomb. Pretty high THC content so typically I do half since I don't get to partake often, but occasionally I'll do a whole one. I added what are called Baby Js this time, just for the heck of it. I look forward to trying those soon.

Does your state have legal drinks? The weed drinks are a nice way to replace alcohol. You can get them in 2.5, 5 and 10 usually. I kind of consider 2.5 to be equal to a beer. You can get a nice controllable buzz with them and it has the same act as drinking.

Never had these, but that sounds pretty awesome. Quit drinking a few years back since I have an allergy to alcohol and break into handcuffs. This sounds like a perfect way to drink without drinking and not be a total social outcast at BBQ's.

You can get them delivered. This is the brand my wife and I get.

Ordered these up and got the variety pack, 2.5mg. I figure if they're a little light for me i can just crush them like i used to Busch lights and it'll work itself out.

Also, the munchies are a real thing. I have to also set out my snacks in advance but half the time I just wind up raiding my kids' candy jars.

Reminds me of my MIL's first time eating a gummy. She had 5 mgs. She was standing there speaking with me (her SIL) and my BIL (her bio son) explaining that maybe she needs to take more and she doesn't understand the experience. We kept speaking with her and carried on the conversation. She even claimed after about ten minutes that maybe she's like our boy Major and is immune.

That's when we both pointed out to her that she had just eaten four of my kids' donuts during the conversation despite all of us finishing a large dinner maybe an hour prior. Her confusion turned disbelief turned to realization was pretty funny.

Back in my 20s, a couple friends of mine and I would hang out at this one guys house that he shared with his girlfriend. After hours of over doing the bong he suddenly grabs his girlfriend's cat and shotguns smoke into the feline's mouth. Cat was surprisingly ok from the experience. Bong guy was definitely unhinged, not sure whatever happened to him.

After dealing with some GI issues that MAY have been alcohol-related, I've been on a gummy/pen kick. But man, these things make me ultra-sleepy, especially if I'm just partaking while at home, which means laying around watching sports. I think it's probably an overall "win" for my body, though. But I haven't been to my old standby dive bar much at all over the past 6 months or so. Again, probably a positive considering how much money I'm saving in Ubers and beers while at the bar. But I do miss socializing with folks.

Maybe this is just me, but i find if i take an edible and go do something and let it hit while active i stay active. If i let it hit sitting on the couch i stay sitting on the couch and fall asleep.

That was my biggest concern. I didn't want to just take one and fall asleep. Surprisingly enough I stayed up in bed on my phone till like 1 am studying the history of Sudan. Ha ha

Not just you. I've taken a gummy (or two) and gone out for beers with buddies and am able to stay active in conversations and whatnot. I've even brought along the pen to keep the feeling going.

And yeah, if I do the same while just sitting around watching TV, I'm out like a light. And man, I get some nice, deep sleep. If I ever had sleep issues I would most certainly be on some kind of THC/CBD regimen.

That was my experience. I never had that I'm just bombed moment. It was a subtle reminder. I'd be watching TV then find myself spending 20 minutes wondering how many people it took to actually assemble my television. Was assembling televisions a good job? Then I'd catch myself and just laugh.

Love the deep sleep and that's my main motivator. Feel like a million bucks in the morning.

On the flip side cornhole at a bbq is in the zone instantly and a bike ride on the paved bike path feels like I'm doing the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs at 10 mph . Fun stuff.

Definitely a substance to enhance whatever it is you're doing at the time.

I knew if the hunger hit I wanted food on the ready. Grilled some burgers and mushrooms, then made a big shrimp cocktail. Put some peach pasties and cinnamon rolls in the oven. Had the chips and salsa ready. I was set.

Throughout the night I never had this moment where I thought I'm really messed up. It was subtle things I did that said I was in a decent spot.

I called the dogs inside saying the word "breat" instead of "treat." In my mind, I literally thought I was tricking them because they couldn't tell the difference. I believed I didnt owe them a treat. I began laughing at myself.

I spent about an hour flipping through countless clips of guitar solos from the 80s and 90s. I caught myself studying strum hand fingering positionings. I began laughing at myself.

Made peach pastries. Was upset we were out of whip cream, but instantly felt joy when I knew we had vanilla ice cream. Put ice cream in bowl and started cutting the peach pastries into slices over the ice cream with my kitchen scissors. I stopped cutting and just started laughing because this got way too fancy fast.

I spent prolly 30 minutes individually holding each one of my 7 lbs dogs scratching their head and looking into their eyes. I was trying to figure out which one loves me the most. I had quite a few tender moments eye gazing with each one. I began laughing at myself.

Scrolled my feed and saw a quote, "Sobriety is when your children look at you and trust what they see." Hit me hard. Spent the next 45 minutes wondering if I was a good father. I began laughing at myself.

I think overall the experience was quite nice. Just put me in nice state of mind. So calm. It's just way different then back in the day getting stoned. Back in the day when you got stoned, you had an immediate physical response, followed by moments screaming I'm so high. I never felt this with the gummy. These gummies are like a slow cooking crock pot. A wonderful and gradual increase in calmness. The calmness was just so relaxing. Bottom line, I just felt silly and wanted to laugh, but also felt like a really smart deep thinker. I can see these being helpful to people with stress. Also, I'm fit and really watch my calories. I ate more calories last night then last week combined. It was embarrassing how much I ate. These gummies will add weight to you. No question.

These were Delta-9s, right? I would still start with 5mg when you move to the regular THC gummies.

Also, if one doesn't want to get too sleepy/tired, then you need to partake in a sativa strain product. Sativa = social. indica = "in da couch".

Vape pens are great, well for ease of use and discretion. The 1g carts that I get usually last me about a week/week and a half. So, $25-50/week depending on quality is a pretty good bargain. My local dispensary just ran a "buy 2, get a 3rd for $0.01" deal for the medium priced ($25 each) carts that I get.

I got some "samples" from a place that specializes in the Delta-9s. I would do 15mg, wait a couple hours and do another 15mg and would feel pretty jazzy.

I have a pen right now. Paid $40 for this particular dispensary's "top of the line", and it's lasted me a month so far. Granted, I don't use it daily.

Yeah my plan was to ramp up usage and drink less but I still drank just as much. Or when I do willingly drink less I end up eating a bunch of snacks

These gummies are like a slow cooking crock pot. A wonderful and gradual increase in calmness. The calmness was just so relaxing. Bottom line, I just felt silly and wanted to laugh, but also felt like a really smart deep thinker. I can see these being helpful to people with stress. Also, I'm fit and really watch my calories. I ate more calories last night then last week combined. It was embarrassing how much I ate. These gummies will add weight to you. No question.

These were Delta-9s, right? I would still start with 5mg when you move to the regular THC gummies.

Also, if one doesn't want to get too sleepy/tired, then you need to partake in a sativa strain product. Sativa = social. indica = "in da couch".

Vape pens are great, well for ease of use and discretion. The 1g carts that I get usually last me about a week/week and a half. So, $25-50/week depending on quality is a pretty good bargain. My local dispensary just ran a "buy 2, get a 3rd for $0.01" deal for the medium priced ($25 each) carts that I get.

I got some "samples" from a place that specializes in the Delta-9s. I would do 15mg, wait a couple hours and do another 15mg and would feel pretty jazzy.

I have a pen right now. Paid $40 for this particular dispensary's "top of the line", and it's lasted me a month so far. Granted, I don't use it daily.

how many "times" would you say are in your $40 vape - and do you generally use it to get fairly stoned?

For regular gummy users please ignore this post. For first timers or people looking to try them take this as an honest review from someone who has never tried:


I took in everyone's input and then just decided to take the entire 25 mg gummy. I concluded half measures don't make sense. I have no responsibilities for the evening so it's full measure time.

I knew if the hunger hit I wanted food on the ready. Grilled some burgers and mushrooms, then made a big shrimp cocktail. Put some peach pasties and cinnamon rolls in the oven. Had the chips and salsa ready. I was set.

Throughout the night I never had this moment where I thought I'm really messed up. It was subtle things I did that said I was in a decent spot.

I called the dogs inside saying the word "breat" instead of "treat." In my mind, I literally thought I was tricking them because they couldn't tell the difference. I believed I didnt owe them a treat. I began laughing at myself.

I spent about an hour flipping through countless clips of guitar solos from the 80s and 90s. I caught myself studying strum hand fingering positionings. I began laughing at myself.

Made peach pastries. Was upset we were out of whip cream, but instantly felt joy when I knew we had vanilla ice cream. Put ice cream in bowl and started cutting the peach pastries into slices over the ice cream with my kitchen scissors. I stopped cutting and just started laughing because this got way too fancy fast.

I spent prolly 30 minutes individually holding each one of my 7 lbs dogs scratching their head and looking into their eyes. I was trying to figure out which one loves me the most. I had quite a few tender moments eye gazing with each one. I began laughing at myself.

Scrolled my feed and saw a quote, "Sobriety is when your children look at you and trust what they see." Hit me hard. Spent the next 45 minutes wondering if I was a good father. I began laughing at myself.

I spent prolly 30 minutes staring at the food in my kitchen in the eyes of how much protein is in each item. I concluded protein is everywhere but some items have way more. I began laughing at myself.

I bought it primarily to have/use during a college reunion back in April. I wasn't sure how much alcohol I was going to be able to consume, so I wanted an alternative "feel good" device. I hit it about 15-20 times on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday of that weekend. Since then, I brought it out to breweries twice... probably 5-10 "times" those two days. And then this past weekend I probably hit it 5-10 times on each of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. From the little indicator on the side which shows how much juice I have left, I think I probably have enough for another 3-4 days of "typical" use.

The person at the shop said it lasts the "average" user at least a week. I'm not an average user haha.

Oh, and it does the job. I usually start with a 10mg gummy and then supplement with a few hits over the course of a few hours just to keep things going.

I began laughing at myself

this right here is how you know it was the correct dose.

Also, the munchies are a real thing. I have to also set out my snacks in advance but half the time I just wind up raiding my kids' candy jars.

Reminds me of my MIL's first time eating a gummy. She had 5 mgs. She was standing there speaking with me (her SIL) and my BIL (her bio son) explaining that maybe she needs to take more and she doesn't understand the experience. We kept speaking with her and carried on the conversation. She even claimed after about ten minutes that maybe she's like our boy Major and is immune.

That's when we both pointed out to her that she had just eaten four of my kids' donuts during the conversation despite all of us finishing a large dinner maybe an hour prior. Her confusion turned disbelief turned to realization was pretty funny.

Yeah my plan was to ramp up usage and drink less but I still drank just as much. Or when I do willingly drink less I end up eating a bunch of snacks

I'm fortunate enough where if I'm taking an edible I actually have no desire to drink. In fact, twice this weekend I drank on the golf course (not crazy but enough where if I kept it going through the evening the next day would have be rough) and then switched to an edible afterwards to cut the need to keep drinking and instead switch to electrolytes the rest of the evening.

The above notwithstanding, no box of sour patch kids or skittles stands a chance if I have them about two hours into an edible. I had to awkwardly explain to my son that no his sister (who does have her own history of stealing her siblings' candy) didn't take his gummy worms but that Daddy did and I'll buy him more.

I see good ole Otis started this thread and hasn't been around in over a year? Anyone know what happened to him? Hope he's ok

Per Facebook. he posted on May 12th that he's "not a socials oversharer..." (sic) as he's sitting with family courtside at the Knicks game near celebrities.

I laughed initially then the realization hit me that the old Otis we knew and loved is no more. He and his family appear to be doing wonderful and this is likely the best development for them, but FFA seems to be fully in his rearview.
