Hi all, registered long time ago but only really ever been a lurker. I'd appreciate some advice to avoid this bad experience or at least help deal with it should it occur again.
I recently acquired some cannabis bud to try and self medicate for depression and anxiety. I'm hoping this experience is more down to my total lack of dosage knowledge. I dried a teaspoon of ground/dry bud in the oven, then proceeded to sandwich it in between two chocolate biscuits which I ate after 20 minutes of baking. Around 2 hours later later the effects came on very rapidly! Within 10 minutes I'd reached a point where I felt stuck in the moment, and that I had died and this was my punishment, to be stuck unable to think beyond this instance in time, while time progressed normally for everyone else. I thought I was in hell and even for a moment admired the sheer cleverness and simplicity of it. Every explanation that popped in my head was instantly explained away, and even threw up explanations for why people act mad for the entirety of their life, because they to are stuck in the moment, like me!
This lasted 4 hours, although it felt like days or even a week had passed, and I swore to never touch the stuff again The next day I was still questioning whether I was given this breather as a way of tormenting me to only then put me back in this hell. Today however I feel fine and logical.
I just wondered if this is a common experience, and also if using cannabis edibles makes this more likely to occur? I'm pretty certain I gave myself a mega-dose, as when I talked to a friend today about it, they said what I'd ate was a ridiculous amount, but especially so for my first dose. Also the bud I used is apparently causing a few folk locally to flip out, as it has a particularly high THC content, which I didn't know!
I would like to medicate in the future, but this bad first experience has put me off somewhat. Is there any way to avoid or reduce this? Is it purely down to chance this happened, a bad reaction unique to my brain chemistry or purely a dosage issue?
