It's a trap!I have never tried pot, but was talking with my HR person and she was telling me how her husband smoked regularly but she has also never tried it.
She suggested I come over some time and we could smoke up for the first time together.
Although I have no experience, something tells me this is a very bad idea.
(Still illegal here)
This argument was hard to rebut back when we had no data but the Prime Minister of Canada and the data from Colorado say that this simply isn't true.
Edibles are the devil for me....
It is Friday and all...feel free!I have never tried pot, but was talking with my HR person and she was telling me how her husband smoked regularly but she has also never tried it.

Guy told me it was white diesel which should be a good strain for me. I have no idea if that's what it is. I dont live in a legal state so have to depend on the dealer down the street.
Same exact way I get. Takes forever to kick in and then ####s me up way too much. The edibles my mil had are candies and I only take half. It's amazing you don't feel anything one minute and then the next minute it hits you like a ton of bricks. Those candies usually takes 90 min to hit me but my brother's cookies took 3 hours.
I had a similar experience years ago when I made brownies with butter I made from leftover vape. My cousin and I ate like an entire row of brownies at 8pm, and it didn't kick in until like 11pm. I puked my guts up and was tripping balls. I thought I was gonna be the 1st person to ever OD on weed. My cousin couldn't go to work the next day. I did go to work, but felt really stoned until mid-day. I have eaten edibles since, but I prefer smoking/vaping.
I've hit the anxiety point you're describing as well before. It sucks and it's more about the body high than the actually being really f'd up - it feels like an increased heart rate, etc. The body high is uncomfortable. I, like you, have no clue what strain I'm getting as I'm not in a legal state. So ya, perfectly normal to be honest and just remain cool and distract yourself with some game or youtube videos usually does the trick. I also find it usually helps to be alone in those moments, so I'll send the lady to bed or upstairs. Otherwise, me not being in the real world mentally won't freak her out and continue to #### with my anxiety. Either way, IMO, it's perfectly normal until you find your tolerance level/zone.
It's interesting you mention the body high because I always thought that the body high was supposed to be the relaxing part, and the head high is what causes the anxiety. I think you are correct, at least in my case. For some reason I felt like the body high was causing me to be uncomfortable. I actually enjoy the head high but it would be nice to not have to battle the anxiety.
Knowing you have the rx, it's a nice golden parachute to have. And just rest assured that I go through the same thing. Perfectly normal. I always power through it when it happens.
Do you vape or smoke? I just got a vape and wondered if that was making a difference too. I mean, I have had the anxiety from smoking also, just curious about vaping. I have read that you can use temp control to sort of manage your high.
If you look back a few pages, I just started again and it's been since college so I'm not expert. Bought a vape...still got the nasty anxiety you described the first time I did it. I won't smoke it. I'm in a rental, with very close neighbors and like the lack of smell provided by the vape. I bought a PAX 2 if it helps.
Ok so I'm definitely not the only one. I bought the boundless cfx and love the flavor, but I think I just need to go slower. It seems to creep up more with a vape.
1mg of Xanax with a couple cookies is an awesome buzz, almost as good as an opiate.
Sounds like something triggered your fight or flight reflex. Breathe as deep as you can, totally expanding your lungs and your parasympathetic nervous system will take over and you'll begin to relax.
Thanks for the link. It's interesting to see the different temps and how that could affect your high.
Thanks UH, interesting little article. I really think the body high is causing the anxiety. Not sure why that would be but I think I'm right. I wonder if higher sativa would be better for me? I think I will definitely explore and do my own research.
Did what you tried have a high THC%? You could try a low THC strain like Cannatonic to see whether it's the body high causes you anxiety by itself or the THC combined with the body high. On the other side you could try a high THC sativa like Girl Scout Cookies that has less body high.
Same exact thing happened to me. Went to bed barely at 9:00PM & was seeing colors with my eyes closed, had a garbage can handy. Room spinning also. No more edibles for me, just tokes that I can control.
did pot in college & played chess at night by candlelight. Was awesome. Have no idea if either one of us played good, but it was cool after 20 minutes or so when one of us would say, "who's move is it"?
God, I remember those days when I lived in Minnesota. Someone would claim to have some premium buds and I could smoke an eighth of it and end up asking myself if I was high or just really wanted to be high?
I noticed around 2010 stuff started getting worse. However, I'm still able to find Sativa's/ hybrids fairly easily, and pretty cheap. My theory is that the majority of dealers are driving it in from legal states. They are in it to make money, so they are buying cheap commercial stuff that probably has huge yields. Like that dense outdoor crap. I don't hear about nearly as many grow house bust these days, so I bet +95% is being driven/shipped in.
That wouldn't surprise me at all. I believe the Colorado law allows me to grow up to 6 plants or something like that. Might need to be medicinal, I don't know, but that isn't a high bar. Pre-legalization I had friends that got medical cards for such reasons as: Appetite, A bum knee, Stress relaxation and other fictitious reasons for about $100 - $150 for the doctor's visit. Note that I get that these reasons can be valid for others but they were certainly not for these friends. They just wanted to legally purchase medicinal pot.
Knocking this out tomorrow...last page bump for meReposting my oil recipe.
1/4oz. of herb per cup of coconut oil -- I only have access to premium bud. If you have access to mids or you know a grower who will give you their trimmings, you can pack in a lot more plant material, up to a half or even a full oz. of plant material per cup of oil. You can experiment with your ratios any way you like, just exercise caution as necessary with your consumption. You can always have a second cookie if the first one is weak, but good luck if you eat a cookie that's too strong and you're tweaking out like an idiot for 3 hours.
Your plant material should be ground as fine as possible.
Your coconut oil should be highest quality organic/virgin or whatever. Coconut oil has a much greater capacity to absorb the organic compounds from your plants than does butter for example. And it's a pure and delicious fat source that makes the best chocolate chip cookies you've ever had.
To maximize that absorbtion capacity, add 3 teaspoons of lecithin powder to each cup of oil. This step is really important in my experience.
But first things first: take your finely ground herb and place it in a pyrex dish. Cover TIGHTLY with foil and bake at 220 for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let it sit until cooled. DO NOT open the foil until it cools.
Add your coconut oil and lecithin to that cooked herb, as per the ratios mentioned above. Again, bake in pyrex and seal as tightly as possible. Bake at 220 for one hour, then turn off the heat and let it sit there until it's completely cooled. You've now started the process of baking the organic compounds from the plant into the fat molecules in the coconut oil. The lecithin you've stirred in has maximized that process. Now, freeze it for at least 8 hours. Freezing smashes up any trichomes that haven't already been broken down by the steps above. Then defrost, and again bake tightly covered at 220 for 20 minutes, again letting it sit until cooled.
Note that all of these cooking/freezing/defrosting/cooking steps have broken down your herb as completely as possible, until every molecule of goodness has been absorbed into that delicious oil with which you can now bake some quality cookies/brownies/whatever. It's been so beaten up by heat and cold that you don't even need to strain it out of the oil. By the time you bake cookies with it for example, the texture will be like any normal cookies you've ever had -- no weird chunks of stems, leaves, etc. But, every last bit of potency from your herb has been captured by this process and is suspended in that oil, ready to get baked into your favorite treats. It's the perfect extraction from a bud/smokable form to a liquid/cookable form. In other words: BIOAVAILABILITY.
I believe the feds have jurisdiction over things that cross state borders and marijuana is still illegal under federal law. You can not legally transport your stash.
Ive been uber lucky in this regard. 20 years post college and ive always had a top notch, very consistent hook-up. One guy over five guys during my time in LA, late 90s.
Vancouver is a bedroom community of Portland. There's plenty of legal weed shops there, but Vancouver is kind of a crap hole. As far as transport, I'd be very careful with weed and the TSA. If you smuggled it in the past, smuggle it now the same way. But, edibles should be very easy to transport. I don't know if Washington has the same limit on edibles that Oregon does, but that would be your best bet to bring it home.
