recreationally legal now in CA!

which means lames and squares will be smoking ... so i quit for the new year, to maintain my hipster cred

Welcome California! The West Coast is now solidly legal from Mexico to Canada.

WEXIT

does CA allow personal growing?

plz share all reports of people smoking too much and having bad trips/freaking out this week

It's not the smoking it's the edibles

FO REAL

xp to sleeve yesssssss

edibles are no joke

no sir

Guys can we act a little more mature

Can we get a muthafuckin moment of silence

For this smaall chronic break

deez nugs

For some reason the novice or novalty partakers are always drawn to the edibles and it's like the worst thing for them to do unless they are very aware of dosage which of course they are not. I smoke daily but rarely fuck with them myself.

novices probably partly drown to edibles as smoking is viewed as unhealthy. lots of stigmas about that still

my wife had a terrible episode w/ a single cookie the other night

i had one from the same batch earlier in the day and for me it just felt like smoking a bowl more or less but she doesn't smoke as much as me so it hit her pretty hard

rec supposed to be on the ballot again here in OH in 2018, i think launched by the same folks who lost in 2015, hopefully they've learned some lessons

i ate half an edible gummy thing on new years day. the effort it then took me to take out the garbage, go do groceries, and cook a really simple one pot dinner was truly herculean

yea i've only had edibles a few times but i strongly prefer smoking or vaping. vaping probably most of all

The great thing about habituation is not only will you learn to perform mundane tasks while stoned but it I’ll actually make the chores more enjoyable

oh i smoke weed a lot, i even smoke shatter at my regular poker game, but edibles always manage to throw me

oh no doubt! with the music blasting too, there is no other way i do chores xp

A weed store just opened near me called "4:19, Got A Minute?"

we should really have a "weed store names" poll, my favorite local name is "Terpene Station"

west hollywood is going crazy for the green shtuff

With all of you who are thrown by edibles. My worst trips have all came from eating the stuff. I've had black outs and even had all sound turn to white noise.

just... don't eat it all at once

yeah just having "a single cookie" like marcos' wife could mean you've had like 8x the recommended dose

1st time my sis did an edible, I was with her and we had no clue what size a dose was. She wound up needing to take a moment to get her sht together on hiking trail so she sat down at this picnic table. A moment turned into 45 mins or so before she could walk the mile back to the car. Thus was born the term "picnic-tabled".

I have reasonable tolerance, although I've cut down over the last 2 years so probably not what it used to be, a few months ago I had a bad cold and ate a whole cookie and went to bed hoping it would just knock me out, ended up shaking uncontrollably for about an hour. When I got out of bed the next morning I almost fell over I was still so stoned.

Back in the late 90’s I was working part time temp in a huge grocery warehouse . One of my buddies that worked there made cookies he would sell on the side for a few bucks and they were pretty strong as one would get you really stoned. So one day he was just giving them out to people at work and this one new temp who thought he was pro stoner or some shit decided he needed to eat two despite our advise otherwise . A couple hours go by and I hear some commotion at the other end of the building where dude is flipping the fuck out , he convinces someone not in the know to call 911 because by says he was poisoned and is dying . Cops and ambulance comes he rats out the guy that gave it to him and starts naming names of other people that took it. everyone gets fired

they sell 50 dose brownies here - roughly the size of your palm ... i ate a quarter of one once. then i died.

The one I had was 100. I stick with a quarter of one and even that is sometimes too much, sometimes barely does anything

thats the thing that i don't like about them, determining the appropriate dose is too difficult. plus they take too much time. "oh eat 1/2 a cookie and wait 2 hours, then if you want more, eat the other half. then in 4 hours you'll feel great!"

xp 100 dose?!? you mean 100mg, no?

Yeah, couldn't remember the unit and didn't want to inadvertently claim 100g or something which it looks like I kind of did anyway by omission. So yours was 50 doses? How much is a dose?

10mg = 1 dose ime

I'm with you, marcos. I only do them when I have people in from out-of-state and they want to do some, mainly for the novelty factor.

the bar i’m talking about is 1000 mg!

Jesus. I'd probably be wrecked 2 days later if I had a quarter of that

and yeah i’m convinced they sell it for novelty factor because who wants to break a palm-sized brownie into 50 pieces?

i know some medicinal users that need to take huge doses for their ailments though

it wasn’t all that bad actually because i was at home and about an hour in when I realized how bad i had fucked up I decided to get in bed and sleep it off ... and I immediately passed out

woke up about 16 hrs later feeling quite groggy (not high) and that groggy feeling took a day or two to pass

i put the rest of the brownie down the garbage disposal instead of the trash because i was afraid a raccoon would get at it and flip the fuck out

xp yeah i guess so. i’ve been smoking daily for close to 10 years now and it was way over my tolerance but i guess it might be different if i was eating edibles daily

a single brownie broken into 50 pieces?! that is absurd.
how is labeling of edibles standardized? is there something like a nutrition label or a metric like proof/alcohol to determine strength? do people follow the directions usually?

They usually have a label with the THC amount. This is based on Californian ones, could be different elsewhere

until it's legal nationally, is it likely that standards & labeling will vary from state to state?

how much did that 50 doser cost?
