Hmmmm. How high are we talking?

I don’t know an exact mg that I’d mark as the cutoff point, but man, when all the concentrates/vapes/oils started coming out someone gave me a syringe of oil to make brownies with, which I did. Having been an avid smoker for 2/3’s of my life I assumed I was fine licking the remnants from the bowl, where I didn’t even taste the oil.

This was right before a halloween party we were throwing at my old house and 2 hours later I’m sitting in the back as people are showing up when I got hit with the worst paranoia and anxiety I’ve ever felt in my life. Nothing preceding it, just like a wall of it hit me and it felt very, very similar to a bad mushroom trip.

I had to go to my bedroom and lock the door, I was in there for about 4 hours freaking out thinking the feds were going to come bust the party up because it was made up of mostly vegan activists that were starting to get into some dumb shit with breaking onto farms and letting animals out (and getting stuck in farm equipment and almost dying in the process, which was fucking hilarious).

The first week I started taking RSO I had about 3 doses hit me at once and I could tell I was maybe 1-2 doses away from the same experience. I’m all set with that!!!!

I smoke constantly but when I can’t smoke (like a family vacation my in laws are at) I’ll take THC capsules. It takes at least 40mg dosage to get me started, 60 is preferable and I’ve done 80-100mg before. Idk, my system is tolerant as fuck and I hate that about it lol

I’m at the point where I’m buying weed based on the THC percentage. 30% and over is what I aim for lol

I would for sure be having a panic attack, 10mg is plenty for me.

I too aim for 30%+ when I buy weed. For a long time I only did rosin dabs so I definitely built up a tolerance, but it’s never taken more than 10-15 mg orally to get me baked. Some people just need massive doses orally for some reason, glad I’m not one of them.

Yeah that’s me. Its expensive lol
 
The first time I tried to make an extract, I made canabutter and had no idea how potent it was. Long story short, we couldn't function for hours and we were still feeling it strong enough 12+ hours later that I was still unwilling to drive. Later estimates suggest the dose consumed was likely between 300-400 mg! I did not have the paranoia though so it was more of some extremely unproductive hours than a bad experience.

I guess similar to too much acid or mushrooms, but not necessarily a bad trip, and not as bad as drinking to the point of vomiting IMO. That said, it's still nothing I plan to intentionally repeat, but I am a little surprised a majority would say it was a bad experience they never wanted to repeat.

There’s something about a THC overdose that flips a panic switch in some people’s brains. I tripped on ~500 mics of LSD and I couldn’t really talk for function for 12 hours but I held it together. But I overdid it on edibles like you and legitimately thought I was dying for 3 hours. It’s not fun when it happens.

I’ve never gotten paranoid from being too high. The worst that’s ever happened to me is the FIRST time I ever ate chocolate edibles it rocked me and I ended up passed out in my spare bedroom lol - I was disappointed that every other experience with edibles has been lackluster 😂

Luckily I haven't had the panic switch issue, and I don't plan to tempt fate until it does happen. I have always preferred things in moderation. Except for chocolate and bacon.

It was my last dog we were giving the liquid CBD to, I can’t remember the brand specifically but it was a brown label with black lettering, Just Essentials or something similar. We’d just drop it in his water each morning. He had chronic arthritis and was 14 years old when we got him, they gave him 2 months to live so my ex and I took him home to give him the best two months we could and right around that two month mark, instead of dying he started running laps in the backyard and he stuck around for 2.5 years. While we had him on a rather expensive diet and got him back to a healthy weight fairly quickly, I definitely think that CBD played a huge role in those last 2.5 years.

I have some CBD treats for my current dog for holidays because South Florida celebrates everything with fireworks, they’re made by Zesty Paws and are pretty effective at calming him down.

That’s an awesome story! I’m going to try some of this on our male boxer. He’s getting arthritis and we have him on a good diet but I think it could help. It helps me with mine. Thanks for the info!
 
There were a few times where I took too big a bite of a 1000mg brownie. Once at home where I suffered panic attacks and muscle cramps and another on an airplane midflight! After that my tolerance was built and I was dropping edibles every day. This was medical, before recreational in California and the laws were less strict and prices weren't as crazy as they are now.

I'm kind of glad they limit packaging now for that reason. Dumb asses like me!
 
I scooped up some more RSO products yesterday; fast-acting gummies and a tincture. The tincture seems to be the perfect solution for what I'm trying to use it for, using an eye dropper to take the doses makes it much, much easier to repeat the same dosage as where the regular RSO sludge is basically like tree sap, can't do much more than squirt some out and eyeball it.

The 10mg RSO gummies might actually do the trick. The normal 10mg THC gummies hit me harder than I expected they would, but I tend to forget that my 'smoking' at this point consists of taking the RSO oil at some point in the afternoon then taking a few hits off my vape every couple hours. I did buy a tiny dab rig a few weeks ago but at most I'll take one dab and not touch it again for the rest of the night, that shit is nuts and I'm not really looking to get stupid baked that often.

If I have to medicate myself to not get frustrated dealing with the world around me, at least I got some pretty good options for doing so. :rofl
 
Wow. Too cool. Just picked up an RSO Dart this past weekend. Haven't opened it up just yet.

I've been doing some reading and my preliminary understanding is those anxiety triggers are very real, and likely based on both genetic and bacteriological (our microbome) factors.

In other words, if your ancestors waked and baked you may be better off. If not, then your biology is literally like "WTF!?!! I am dying!" :idk

Due to circumstances (military and the threat of drug tests looming at most employers I've had), I had not partaken in literally decades - like since high school, but about two years ago during some time off from work and on a Saturday night, I took a few hits off one of my wife's vapes (she has been using for years to combat chronic pain), and I guess I didn't realize the potency, but FUCK - that shit made me almost have a panic attack about 15 minutes in :eek:. It must have taken me two hours before I calmed down from that.

In the not-too-distant future, I will be in a position not to worry about work-related testing, so I will dip my toe back in - but very slowly next time!

Oh man! Those distillates in a vape like that are damn near all THC!!!
:LOL:

Glad you made it. I have friends who drive commercially for work and
have to refrain from using due to periodic drug tests.

That makes so much sense.

I'm one of those that can smoke and function fairly normal.. I have a few friends that are the same.

Then there are those that have to tippy tow or they can get weirded out.

I figured it's a genetics thing. I also stay pretty much the same when I drink.. I don't get aggressive, mean, or lovely dovey.. I just stay myself.

The flipside of that coin is I have a few alcoholics in my family.. I assume that's why my tolerance is what it is.

It does make a lot of sense to me, too. If you come from a long line of teetotalers then look out.

So much of our microbiome is apparently inherited (even if we can do things to boost it, or
deplete/fatigue it). Kind of like cultures and ethnic groups that are lactose intolerant. :idk

Some people are going to be way more sensitive to alcohol, pot, and different types of food.

I think there is even a nutrition book/theory based on this principle of eating/consuming a
diet close to what your primary genetic makeup is.

Oh, and are you Tom Buckovac?? :lol

He says the exact same thing about alcohol.
:LOL:

Probably descended from a more European makeup where
wine and beer are consumed from an early age and as part of daily life.
 
I haven’t had a panic attack since I was 14 and me and a couple buddies smoked schwag joints for 3 hours straight. I puked 3-4 times and then I was convinced the cops were going to come kick down the door. If I have shit to do 15-30mg or a couple blinker rips off the vape will set me up for success. If I’m planning on killing a Saturday just dicking around I’ll go 50mg and smoke all day. I like my average reality with fuzzy edges. Besides, what else are you supposed to do the first 20 minutes of band practice besides get disabling stoned. Our drummer likes to pack up XL cones of Moonrocks and keef for pre-practice. That’s about the only time I think about my teeth.
