So, I haven't smoked weed since I was in college in the mid-'90s ... and even back then I wasn't that into it. (Alcohol was much more appealing to me.) I'm back in grad school now, and I have a professor who smokes often -- like, multiple times per day. He's always offering, and I'm always declining. Finally, last night, he showed me these THC-infused gummy candies (dosed at 25mg) that someone sent him from Colorado. Very official looking medical-grade product ... except for the candy aspect, I guess! He offered me one, and I said what the hell? They looked like they were meant for children.
Holy shit! I don't remember the (probably garbage) weed I got when I was a kid being *anything* like this. Slow to take effect -- maybe an hour? Then, very strong, hugely anxiety-producing, and dissociating. I kept losing track of where I was, who I was with, what I was doing, what we were talking about, what had put me in this state ... with violent snaps back to reality ... only to lose it again very quickly. Back and forth and back and forth for hours. It was seriously not enjoyable. I woke up this morning still kind of high ... so effects lasted a good 12 hours. HUH?
IDK ... I think my first cannabis experience in two decades was a pretty big failure. LOL! I'm definitely open-minded about the whole game, however. The background is that I've been doing psychedelics (LSD, mescaline, DMT, and lots of other chems with more numbers and letters in their names than I care to type out) for 25+ years. Let's just say that I've been through rough patches before. So, it was pretty unbelievable to me that 25mg of THC kicked my ass in a way that some very powerful psychedelics don't (or no longer do)?!? Wow...
Who can offer an explanation, some guidance, tips on how to get better at this? Or is THC just not for me if I didn't enjoy it at that (again 25mg) dosage, with good company, and with a very positive outlook on the whole experience going in?
Thanks, friends...
