So. It is a put up that can most likely get me mocked and presumably needs to be titled, “Fool girl fucked round and came upon” as a result of that’s most likely what quite a lot of responses will probably be however I’m writing it anyway as a result of you possibly can study from errors…as a result of not too long ago I had a psychotic episode triggered by a superbly authorized, over-the-counter edible gummie and it was so terrible that I would like you to learn about it in case it ever occurs to you, otherwise you by accident eat one thing you shouldn’t after which fall right into a horrible abyss.
Let me begin by saying that I did plenty of weed and acid in my youth and I at the moment take IV ketamine for treatment-resistant despair so I’m not new to dangerous journeys, however this was one thing else solely.
I’ve taken thc/cbd gummies previously to assist me sleep they usually principally felt like a margarita with out the brain-freeze. I hadn’t had one in a 12 months or so and so when my husband took me to a vape store subsequent to the curry place we had been going to eat I seemed for the model I often used they usually didn’t have it so I requested the cashier what I ought to take to only chill out and assist sleep (as a result of all the packages are complicated as hell) and he handed me a bundle with a advice of 1 gummie. I informed Victor that perhaps he ought to attempt them and he rolled his eyes at me as a result of Victor has by no means even had a contact excessive earlier than. I seemed up the critiques for the model and noticed a girl saying they helped along with her anxiousness and arthritis and I used to be like, “Anxious arthritic girls unite! Clearly this will probably be positive.”
I took one and about an hour later I began to really feel extremely tense and sick and (very weirdly) my canine Dorothy Barker began growling at me and backing away like I’d grown horns and I informed Victor that one thing appeared very mistaken and that’s when he informed me that he’d additionally taken a gummie.
After which I informed him that one among us wanted to be sober and he mentioned we might all the time name an uber and I didn’t reply as a result of who calls an uber driver to ask them to babysit them whereas they’re excessive…how would they even cost for that? (Later he informed me he meant in case we wanted to go someplace. I don’t know, y’all.)
Then issues rapidly went from bizarre to worse as we each began projectile vomiting every part we’d ever eaten in our lives after which the partitions began closing in like we had been in that trash-compactor in Star Wars. To make issues extra attention-grabbing, I threw up so laborious that I peed myself.
GOOD TIMES.
Our hearts felt like they had been beating out of our chests and I used to be shaking a lot I felt like I used to be having a convulsion after which time stopped fully.
This has occurred to me earlier than (time stopping) however by no means to such a loopy extent as a result of the clock would not change and we had been trapped in hell. Victor frightened that we’d been poisoned and I felt that we had been most likely simply too excessive but additionally I couldn’t cease fascinated by the Tylenol murders and that perhaps an anti-gummie extremist had infiltrated a gummie manufacturing facility to poison everybody. I agreed that I did really feel like I’d been poisoned however that additionally, time had stopped and that was positively one thing that folks say when they’re too excessive, however then Victor was like, “Besides perhaps time additionally stops once you’re poisoned however we don’t know as a result of none of these individuals survived and every part we all know is simply affirmation bias?” and that additionally appeared like one thing somebody excessive would say, however he was sort of making a very good level and wasn’t certain if I used to be respiratory correctly.
So I made a decision to depend on science to see if time actually was stopped and so I stared at my cellphone whereas counting out loud and it made time transfer once more however solely once I was taking a look at it and so I used to be fairly certain we had been simply too excessive, however then we began vomiting once more and I felt like I used to be suffocating and so I texted a good friend (renamed Katie to guard her privateness) : HELP US KATIE. WE’RE TOO HIGH
And 87 hours later she confirmed up (or half-hour her time) and guaranteed us we had been most likely positive however then she checked out us once more and I couldn’t cease shaking and he or she was like, “However perhaps I ought to name 911?”
Reader. We known as 911.
EMS was very cool in a “Jesus, this once more?” type of method they usually took our vitals by taking a look at us and mentioned we had been simply too excessive and wanted to chill out and watch some cartoons. I’m fairly certain it’s not attainable to take somebody’s vitals by simply taking a look at them and so I suspected that Katie simply texted a good friend and informed them to faux they had been 911 after which Katie was like, “It’ll be okay. I took a fuel station gummie and it was terrible and I couldn’t open my mouth for hours” after which I knew I used to be hallucinating as a result of Katie has by no means accomplished medication in her life. Victor was pacing and I used to be curled up within the fetal place and in between retchings I had a number of humorous ideas that I believed may make for an pleasurable anecdote however I couldn’t write them down as a result of my fingers stopped working so who the fuck is aware of what they had been.
I apologized to Victor that I couldn’t assist him and he was like, “I’m by no means doing this once more. Nancy Reagan was proper about medication” and I nodded however I additionally identified that we’d not too long ago mentioned we wanted to attempt new experiences and this was the primary time we’d ever tandem vomited in the identical rest room after which I fell asleep on the sofa.
The following morning we nonetheless felt horrible (nauseous, extremely tense, shaky, mentally off) and requested one another if final evening was actual as a result of it appeared like a literal nightmare and so we known as Katie and he or she was like, “Hey, Cheech and Chong” and I crawled into my very own physique in mortification. BUT she did verify that she actually had known as 911 and that she was additionally confused about how they did the vitals over the cellphone and that she actually did have a nasty response to a fuel station gummie previously and didn’t point out to me earlier than as a result of it was embarrassing and that is precisely why I’m penning this. As a result of I believe this type of factor really occurs greater than we all know and persons are too afraid to speak about it, however I’m sharing as a result of LEARN FROM MY DUMB MISTAKE, WORLD.
So why did we’ve got this response? Nicely, I seemed up the gummies I’d taken previously that helped me sleep and it had one milligram of THC. Guess how a lot THC the brand new gummie had?
150 MILLIGRAMS.
So then I known as my precise physician as a result of it had been 24 hours and we nonetheless felt horrible and the nurse was like, “Yeah, we really get this sort of name lots. What was the dose?” and I mentioned “150 milligrams” and he or she made a choking sound that I believe was holding again laughter and was like, “OMG. Yeah. That’s a loopy quantity.” Seems that acute cannabinoid intoxication causes intense bodily reactions and even short-term psychosis, and whereas it’s close to unimaginable to die from ODing on pot, the stuff you may do throughout a panicky psychosis could be extremely dangerous and it’s a lot simpler to OD on edibles, particularly those which can be round now as a result of they’re not likely regulated and other people like me don’t do their analysis and simply take no matter a random vape store cashier gave me (presumably in retaliation for Victor yelling “WE’RE NOT COPS” after we first walked into the shop.)
All this to say that if you’re studying this and time has stopped you’re most likely too excessive and wish to observe some cartoons and…
- Simply because it’s authorized doesn’t imply it’s protected. Do your analysis first. It’s the wild west on the market relating to rules.
- THC can have an effect on completely different individuals in numerous methods. For instance, it may well worsen bipolar signs. WHO KNEW.
- Let your children/mates know that they will name you if this occurs to them and that you just gained’t choose them. It’s terrifying and horrible and it may be very simple to make a harmful determination in case you don’t have somebody who can discuss you down and guarantee you that you just’re not already useless. The truth is, ship this put up to your children. They might already know all of this, however perhaps not.
- When you ever really feel like time has stopped, and so forth. you could have by accident ingested an edible and you’ll be okay however here’s what may also help in case you’re greening out: A heat blanket, a television present to distract you, water, chewing on black peppercorns (no clue why this helps), having somebody on the cellphone or in one that can monitor you and remind you it’s okay, a bowl to vomit in, and time.
- Take note of dosage and elements. One margarita is okay. 150 margaritas will not be going to be positive. Additionally lots of the ingredient might make no sense. For instance, my gummie additionally had one thing known as “diamond sauce”. I don’t know what that’s so I seemed it up. “Diamond sauce combines THCA crystals with a terpene-rich sauce with a better purity than dwell resin.” Superior. I nonetheless don’t know what diamond sauce is.
That is truthfully a bit mortifying to jot down about but it surely’s quite common and if I can save one particular person from a traumatizing evening like this it’s value it. Be protected on the market, mates.
