I am fairly new to edibles - only introduced to this a couple months ago. I just love this way to get high and happy not to smoke anymore.
Just a bit of history about me... I am 55 and in excellent health. exercise every day and have a good diet. Take no medications and have no health issues I have been a regular weed smoker for 30 years - not every day but close.
Last night we were going to dinner with some friends. I had not ingested any weed in a couple days and decided that about 30-45 min before we went out I would have a firecracker. I was sitting at the bar - had a couple beers and was thinking to myself that I was somewhat dissapointed in my high and if was pretty mild. It wasn't long after thinking that, that the shit hit the fan. I began to get a wicked buzz... things seemed a bit surreal. voices seemed to go into the background and I felt the room beginning to spin. I was having hot flashed and felt I need to go out and get some air. I went to get off my bar stool and that was the last thing I remember. I awoke outside (helped there by friends) and found myself aware of what was going on but unable to speak or comprehend what others were saying. I blacked out once more and the next thing I know here comes the ambulance. I was taken to the hospital where I spent most of the evening undergoing tests from xrays, EKG's and bloodwork. I was so afraid that they do some sort of drug testing but I guess they didn't. I was released with the promise to see my regular doctor this week. Now unless I fess up to my doctor, I'm sure I will have to put up with several more expensive tests.
So basically, I OD'd on pot. never thought it could happen. I can smoke pot from the time I get up until I go to bed and have never had this kind of effect.
Let me tell you my dose... the firecracker I had was made from the leftover weed from making cannabutter. I squeezed out the weed and instead of discarding the used up weed like any recepie calls for, I made firecrackers out of them. I think my downfall was that I hadn't eaten since breakfast and took it on a completly empty stomach.
So there is my warning to you newbies. I never thought such a thing could happen to me but it did... so be warned with how much you take all at once.
