Back in '95 or maybe '96, a former flatmate of mine made an obscenely strong curry with about 2 grams of decent hash and an unknown amount of some cheap and nasty, crappy homegrown weed in it (£40 an oz, purely for historical interest -- there's certainly no longer any of it available for that much, so I hardly think that counts as bulk pricing -- and still a false economy really), which we ate before going to a Levellers gig. By the time we had got to the Assembly Rooms, it still wasn't showing any signs of kicking in, so we went outside and rolled a couple of J's to help it a bit; then went to the bar just to make sure.
And all I can remember of the concert is Mark Chadwick (whom, we would later discover, [spoil]eats m**t[/spoil] -- but that's another story) forgetting the words to the second verse of
Hope Street -- and me suddenly not being able to lie on the floor without holding on to something. I wanted to laugh, cry, come, piss myself and shit myself, all at the same time. It was at least as intense as any acid trip.
So, yeah, watch out, kids -- eating cannabis can floor you .....
EDIT:
For some fucking reason I am back on Smack, and got fucking floored by 0.4!
Well, that's a
good sign; it means you have lost your tolerance. As long as you practice good hygiene measures and don't let it turn into a multi-day binge, you probably will be fine. In my experience, a one-night blast is a lot quicker to recover from that a fortnight-long bender (days aot weeks). The worst thing you can do if you fall off the wagon is beat yourself up about it.
