Well, I wasn’t aiming for the moon. I sure landed further out than I had anticipated.
After a light breakfast I did some running around once the stores opened to prep for dinner. Then i grabbed 4 caps and dosed Out the oil. Each OO cap held about 0.8ml which comes to about 100mg. Given that my housemate took two caps the other day and was pretty stoned, and yet another buddy who also gets these drops said to take 2-3 ml, and they both have near daily vaping habits - I figured better be safe than sorry and didn’t get more caps to reach my initial thoughts of 120mg (I don’t think edibles get the proper respect they deserve. I have been proper ripped to pieces with high dose edibles). And I’m glad logic prevailed lol
I felt alerts within minutes while I prepped the sauce for dinner. Then I sat down to play some games. At the two hour mark buddy commented that he was surprised I wasn’t higher and I was honestly disappointed I hadn’t ate more. But this isn’t my first rodeo, and I knew there was still time before I’d peak. I continued to play video games yet It was becoming increasingly more difficult.
At 3 hrs I was nicely stoned and it felt like I was still climbing.
So stoned in fact I became pensive: I’ve been playing too many video games lately (more so now that there are tighter lock down restrictions and work has slowed) and being so stoned I kept dying and I lost interest. So I decided to pick up my juggling balls - it’s been months. Between the months off and being so stoned, I was sorely uncoordinated. 3 balls was a struggle, never mind any tricks. So I dropped two and just started ingraining the muscle movement patterns with 1. But again, I slowly lost interest.
So, I began walking mindfully around the house. Hell, its been months since I’ve practiced any form of mindfulness and this provided some relief from my racing mind (for me vaping/edibles always stimulate my mind, rather than turn it off).
We had planned a walk for when my daughter was done school. When I kept rhyming words for the articles of winter clothes we were donning, buddy commented about just how stoned I was. And I was lol getting outside was nice. I’ve been trying to get out daily recently as I’ve been reclusive these past number of months.
After the walk I sat on the couch with my sudoku book (lately I’ve been trying to learn how to complete the medium puzzles as I can do easy without issue). I knocked off an easy real quick and figured I’d try my luck with a harder one.
I managed a few quadrants before I lost interest. Staring off into the abyss I began to melt onto the couch. The light was too bright and with eyes closed I saw a variety of faint colours which morphed into scenes, perhaps matching my subconscious thoughts.
Focusing on my breathing took my mind off the slight discomfort I was feeling in my stomach. this stuff was a pale amber colour yet I still experienced some stomach distress.... the more I eat edibles the less I care for the taste and the more susceptible I am to feeling icky. Even then taste of it turns my stomach, hence why I called the oil as opposed to using it sublinguallly. The weed flavoured burps I was having sent shivers down my spine lol.
I managed to ooze out of the couch to make dinner without issue, though I was obviously quite stoned. I don’t really get the munchies but as I didn’t eat on the come up/all afternoon (since an early breakfast) I was hungry for dinner. Too much spaghetti, garlic bread and salad led to even more stomach distress and I wasn’t sure if I was to be ill.
Laying down on the couch, again focusing on my breathing, with eyes closed, I was presented with more fanciful thought movies. I drifted off into sleep for maybe an hour.
When I awoke around 8, nearly 10hrs after dosing I was still quite high but felt much better. For the rest of the night I sat in a puddle on the couch just watching movies.
I went to bed too late, as again My thoughts were stimulated by the weed. 5 hrs later I woke up at my normal time, but instead of feeling tired from the short sleep I was still pleasantly, faintly, stoned.
I love edibles so much more than smoking. Without a tolerance it always feels so psychedelic. I feel like such a weight has been lifted today, it really feels quite cathartic.
