I’ve never smoked and I’ve only done edibles once. And it was by and large the worst experience of my life. I literally walked to a corner in the kitchen sat down and asked people to not let me get up because I was having thoughts of throwing myself out of the window.

So I just sat there with my senses completely messed up. Hallucinating ( I don’t think you are supposed to right? ) and completely trapped in a trip I did not want to be in and wondering if I died and gone to hell and that’s how my brain was coping with dying.

So yeah. Not a good time.

I’m wondering what everyone else’s experience is.

And is it luck that causes you to have a good or bad trip? Is it something we can influence ?

    I personally dislike edibles. It’s hard for me to measure & time them even with labeled dosages. Vaporizer definitely tastes better than combustion and you can customize temps to dial in on effects, allegedly. I say allegedly because I primarily do CBD dominant flower now, which is occasional.

    Years ago, right after an insurance provider change that resulted in loss of coverage on two meds I was on (stimulant+stimulant adjacent for adhd), I was offered some of a blunt. I didn’t even smoke an obscene amount but my short term memory tanked so hard that words would just fall out of my head the moment after I had heard them, or thought them. I was in my neighborhood but not home and couldn’t string together sentences to text. I barely managed to remember “GET HOME” and when I did it was like I was trapped in my brain with no way to communicate. It was just gone.

    I have been very careful ever since not to have too much and if I want more than a gentle buzz I only opt for certain indicas.
