Cannabis
Related: About this forumI'm trying cannabis right now for the first time in twenty years.
I went to a local recreational dispensary (Yay, Washington State!) and started small; I purchased two 10mgs THC chocolate candies.
For the last hour, I have been eating one of them in thirds. The young man who helped me at the counter said to take it slow so as not to be overwhelmed after twenty years.
It's been over an hour, and so far, just some light-headedness.
Anyway, hi!

(962 posts)10mg total is likely fine, but remember that it might be a couple of hours before you feel the first third.

(16,296 posts)When I first tried it, I was amazed at how relaxed and sociable the entire group I was with had become. We all laughed ourselves silly at the joke, "Sire, the peasants are revolting" "Yes, they stink too"
I enjoyed it, but smoking it did leave me with a raw throat the next day.

Seems to be right...

(69,051 posts)That was a nice feeling.
The high was a little weird, though. When I'm drunk, I'm worried the buzz will be over too soon.
With pot, I felt like it wasn't going to end. It was a little scary...

(80,708 posts)I realize some people's bodies are different, but with me it's an hour to feel anything and 2 for it all to get there.
It takes some getting used to if you only really smoked it, back in the day. It's more of a "plan everything out in advance" situation. It also lasts longer.

(12,558 posts)I do, I have to take pain meds for a really bad back. I would love to use pot instead of the meds I take. Of course it isn't legal here in Oklahoma, but I'd like to know how it works.
Aristus
(69,051 posts)Many of them use marijuana for the pain. I don't discourage them from doing so. I tell them it's a lot less bad for you than the opioid pharmaceuticals out there.

Can't go wrong with a bong or a vape.
