hash browns

[custard]

yo.

so, my dear father gave me half a hash brownie as a parting gift tonight. I ate about half of that, around the size of a cherry tomato. I did eat it on a full stomach, but it's been over an hour since I took it and I am only feeling the tiniest microscopic buzz. He told me only to take half and that it's pretty strong, but google research tells me hash/pot brownies take only about a half hour to kick in? I'm about 130 lbs - perhaps I have a slow metabolism, or the full stomach, or both are making this take so long?

Anyway, anyone know how much longer I'll be waiting? I do have to get to bed at a decent hour. And I'm afraid to eat more incase it does suddenly kick in strongly. First time taking cannabis via the stomach. Let me know! cheers.

Sorry no one responded until now
I'd say taking it on a full stomach will definitely increase the length of time you wait before the effects set in.
In my opinion edibles just take a long time to kick in, in general... but at the same time they tend to last for quite a while as well

for a rule of thumb just start slow and wait. Edibles can be really intense if you aren't prepared for it. Its good that you only ate half.

If you aren't feeling much after 2 hours then you can eat half of the rest (up to .75 in total now) and then wait again. You can't un-dose.. so its better to take it slow and just wait.

I've had bad experiences from eating too much from the get go - until you bake them yourself and get the dosage down to a science its hard to judge how much you should eat so just in general take it slow.

No worries man - 16 mins is actually pretty fast for a forum. Anyway, I think it's been about 2 hours since I ate it. My buzz has increased a bit, but it's still quite mild. (I also smoke pot almost every night so perhaps I should factor tolerance into the equation.) Also perhaps dad was being dadly and it's not as strong as he said. Anyway, I think I'm just gonna eat the rest. Can't wait around too long cause I gotta get to bed in a couple hours. I've definitely been waaay higher than I am now, so I'm pretty sure I can handle it. Anyway, thanks muchly for the advice. *nom nom*

This is covered in the Cooking with Cannabis section of the forum, check out the directory.

Normal come up time is +T;0:45 - T+;1:30, though some people take longer, and longer still if you have eaten prior. Not eating does seem to increase potency, duration, and peak.
