I'M AN IDIOT and NEED HELP!

Hey, so I'm new here (obviously) and let me just preface this by saying; SWIM (does this forum use swim? I'll just use it but sorry if not :/ ) is a total new comer to marijuana... so if you could take it easy on him that'd be nice! he's easy to make fun of, because when it comes to this type of stuff he's a pansy anyway, swim's never touched the stuff until yesterday. Swim was given a dispensary "Stix!" (swim thinks is what they're called), cannabis infused pixie stick yesterday and downed only a half of the tube at about 2:30? ish p.m. on an empty stomach. (stupid idea?) after downtown shopping for a bit, swim and friends went to grab some food. Now, realizing that swim doesn't have any tolerance to THC at all, had an idea that half a tube was juuuust right, not too much, not too little... god was that a stupid thought.... At about 3:50 ish swim just went "BANG" in the head. knocked out of reality, Like swims vision looked like an extremely dizzy and choppy millisecond blurred frames of reality and couldn't keep his eyes open. Nothing, swim repeats, absolutely nothing about this experience was fun in the slightest. Swim could barely speak, felt sick to his stomach, couldn't see, had a raging headache, felt extreme nausea and had severe derealization and if I had to guess what ketamine or some dissociative drug like that felt like, this is what I imagined or something. haha So long story short it was absolutely the worst thing ever, to say the least.

ANYWAY, I guess my real question is... what happened? is this what being high feels like? maybe it's just not for me :/
I hope this isn't what a marijuana high feels like, because swim wants to give the herb another chance because he also received a vape pen with a hashberry cartridge (havent used) and if this is what it feels like, I don't know what to do with the pen.

Thanks guys, and sorry if I posted in the wrong area or used the wrong lingo! ):

Additional info:

-Half of a "STIX!" cannabis infused pixie stick 50 mg THC, 25 mg CBD

also, the high lasted for at least 12 hours. swim still felt some moderate effects through out all of today

we don't use swim here. I've always seen that and wondered what it meant but this is the most effort I've put into figuring it out. If you had a bad experience with smoking maybe smoke less next time. It can make people a little anxious, or paranoid or something. I would suggest doing something while you're high. I like playing video games, watching movies etc. I can't just be high and bored or I'll start thinking stupid stuff. Oh, and it's real easy to "overdose" on edibles. A lot of people who smoke don't like them in the first place, and they can last a really, really long time.

oh man sorry! haha i didn't know, well i guess the title validates my idiocy even more then aha

Using SWIM kinda paints a target on your back which is probably what your trying to avoid in the first place huh?

I wish I could get that high still....

High lasted for 12 hours. Sounds like "not you" got something other than MJ! sounds like a bad acid trip to me. yes, some paranoia is normal for new and occasional users. There was that time me wife who doesn't partake did eat too much of that cookie....

Weed is "legal" in like half the country. Even the feds have said they won't do nothing about legalized weed unless people are taking it across state lines, etc. They don't have the resources to be investigating millions of people who are smoking a doobie while doing laundry. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless you are shipping lbs and lbs of weed over state lines etc.

To answer your question, NO THIS IS NOT WHAT A MARIJUANA HIGH IS ALL ABOUT. You said yourself you are new. Now, I don't know what you told your "dispensary representative," but if you told him you are new to the game, the LAST thing he is going to recommend is an edible. Eating and smoking cannabinoids are two completely different things.

A responsible dispensary would have suggested something that won't fuck you up beyond all reality, seeing that you are new to this. To be honest, you should go back to that dispensary and tell the manager about the "state of shit" you were introduced and get either a refund or have him recommend some shit for beginners.

This is what I fucking hate about dispensaries now. They are all about the fucking money, not about the welfare of those keeping them in business. Fuck sake, this is why I love Canada. Despite my Southern U.S. roots, I have way more respect for Canadian breeders because they don't bullshit you and they actually give a fuck about your well-being.

I stopped reading after the first "SWIM"

You are NOT an idiot, even if that's what your mother called you.

what's swim?

Someone Who Isn't Me. I'm sure that would hold up in court like the stupid disclaimers people have been putting in their sigs for years on these forums.

sorry about the swim thing... haha and thanks everyone for at least responding to me haha

mcrandle, agreed its all about money.

eclypse, hahaha NO... yes... and it put a whole new meaning to the word stoned - not priding myself... it sucked. hahaha

so edibles maybe just aren't my thing, but would smoking (vape pen) be an enjoyable expierence?

LOL I had to check out this thread after seeing the title. Dude u just need to chill. Find some light weed with lower THC higher CBD content like a good indica or something and you'll be straight. Can't start off knocking it out of the park with strong shit like that. Fuck, I've never even heard of that shit.

Swimming=Getting wet=Pcp

As someone already stated.
If you informed the budtender that you were a first timer, big time shame on him/her for giving you edibles! That is cruel and very irresponsible, I would go back and talk to the manager or owner and tell them about your experience. If they try to dick you around AT ALL at that point I would suggest turning around and NEVER going back,, even hop online and leave some negative reviews.

I would suggest smoking one hit and waiting five minutes, then if you are feeling ok take another toke. It will take time to learn your tolerance.

OK, learned something. I guess. Yawn.

You should definitely go back to the dispensary and say something, if only to prevent it happening to another newcomer to the herb...

Really dude...Get a refund on shit you already smoked or ate. Thats pathetic if you think you are entitled to getting your money back for bad weed. Dispensary or not. There is no quality control in growing. Everyone grows differently. And to hold the dispensary responsible for your bad high is as moronic as a meatballs statements on this forum. To the op. You had a bad high your first time. Next time, eat or smoke less. Dont go back to get a refund. They will look at you like you are a moron.....

Voice your opinion! Tell them, thats the only way the owner can make changes.
I was in a San Jose Collective, and had asked if they sold "Auntie Deloris carmel corn" the bud tender recommend some other that I had tried, I said "no thanks, Last time it was stale." The Owner overheard this as he was walking up behind me, he quickly got behind the counter, grabbed a bag, gave it to me and said, "if this one is stale (no charge), let me know, I'll get rid of them," then went on his way.

They proudly serve "Auntie Deloris" products now. LOL

But being New, you should be aware that Edibles can be very potent (well, you know now) the good news is, what you experienced
is the worse thing that can happen when you get too much.
The potency can very between the same manufactured products, so start with small doses till you find what you are comfortable with.
