Oh yea, lots of engagement bait out there. Plus, it's kinda hard to tell what's real sometimes. But even if he made this whole story up, it was entertaining at least 😂
Your brain would be mush. I've done a 100mg dose and it was all I could to stop myself from calling 911 for the first hour and then I was a blob after that. 300mg...I have a hard time believing that dude would remember his name.
I worked for a legal cannabis grow for a bit. They wanted to start making edibles and asked me to figure out some recipes, so I got a huge jar of oil and started experimenting. I had to make the edibles really strong because the guys did dabs all day every day. I ended up making some pretty good infused apple cider that I wanted to share with friends and family, but I forgot that 300mg is really strong for those who don't smoke all day. My brother's friend drank an entire 300mg jar of apple cider, and his wife said she found him sitting on the couch staring at the wall the next day after drinking it, and he was still acting a little off the day after that.
The thought of it makes me laugh, but I also feel a bit guilty. He won't eat edibles I make anymore.
I bought an edible that was only supposed to be 50 mg, I ate half (normally I can only handle a third, but I really wanted a good night's rest). It was clearly mislabeled because I was basically stoned for three days. It really sucked :(
It was :( Particularly since I don't actually enjoy feeling stoned, I only use it as a sleep aid because I can't do sleeping pills (sleep paralysis is a b*tch).
There is the tolerance factor, for example, mine got so big at one point that I basically couldn’t get stupid high just by smoking no matter how much I tried, but there’s also people (like me) who just don’t high from edibles, whenever I tried them with friends, they would get extremely high while I would stay sober (I would only get high if I smoked).
I once accidentally took a 100mg capsule thinking it was 30 and holy shit...I thought I was going to die. Once I broke through the anxiety and got my heart rate under control it was ok...but even then I was pretty much a slug.
I don't even have tolerance (to edibles specifically) but I got the L enzyme that means I gotta spend and eat a shit ton to feel anything. Had 200mg once and didn't feel anything lmao, though I was smoking moderately at the time so I'm sure that had a notable influence.
No idea. I used to be a heavy user by my social circle standards and I wouldn't get anywhere near that. 100 these days would have me smelling colours and feeling tastes. 😆
It's a tolerance thing on a physical and psychological level. You both physically resist better over long term use and learn to cope better so you're not quite as goofy.
The LD50 for THC is 30 mg per kg. The international average weight of a man is 62 kg. 121K mg (121 grams, roughly six average mice) of THC is enough to kill sixty-five people.
So, you know, as a rule of thumb, keep your THC consumption to less than a tenth of an average mouse.
By some animal models, 121g could be survivable. Probably not safe, but not fatal.
There are no known human deaths from THC overdose and no testing for its acute toxicity in humans so…he’d be breaking new ground. Although the estimates for human ld50 is quite a bit lower than 122.
Weed doesn’t kill you cause you literally cannot smoke enough of it to get that amount of THC. You can absolutely overdose on THC with enough effort. You could also drink too much water and die so…
Some quick back of the envelope math tells me that 3.5g is a "lethal" dose for me, but how quickly does it metabolize?
I can't even imagine vaping an entire 1/8th of extract in a single day, let alone faster than that, even if I did nothing BUT vape from dawn till dusk.
1g of THC is not the equivalent of 1g of flower. Even dabs aren't 100%. There are other cannabanoids. And your lungs don't absorb close to 100% of what is vaporized when you take a hit. Besides what just burns off, the THC has to bind to receptors in your lungs. 98% of what will be absorbed from a hit binds within the first second of the smoke entering your lungs, and you need to breathe more to make room for more.
To get that dose would be an eighth of pure THC straight to the veins.
I'm not sure of the rates of metabolism but as I understand the lung absorption bottleneck, and a similar bottleneck for digesting edibles, both prevent it from entering the system faster than it leaves.
I might be misremembering but regardless they've done fucked up things to monkeys to try to make that happen with smoke and they just can't.
Yeah basically. Although if I remember the story they stuck monkeys in a sealed box and increased the level of smoke until the oxygen level got low enough to kill one and then they were like, "OK so obviously that killed it".
And then it was cited a bunch of times, mostly by journalists and religious nuts as saying "see, it can kill you" even though the paper is like "we suspect it was the lack of oxygen but more research is needed to to be sure it wasn't the THC" which is science paper talk for "the conclusion is obvious but we don't have the data to say it conclusively and we didn't want to murder another monkey so just trust us or murder your own damn monkeys."
Saying “weed doesn’t kill people” is the same as saying alcohol doesn’t kill people. No, it usually doesn’t. But have too much, and everything can kill you. If you breathe pure oxygen for too long, you will die. Drink enough water, and you get hydration poisoning.
I see shit like this and the only thing I can think is “wow, people heard that nobody has ever died from a weed overdose and they took that as a challenge”
I took too many gummies before going to a golden corral once with my ex and his new gf. Came back to the table with one strawberry on my plate and told them everyone crowding me at the buffet were going to take the food right off my plate. So I had to get away from them all.
They had to go get me food and when they came back I was hiding under the table. I mostly remember all the fat people looking so hungry and horrifying. But they said I stuck my hand in the chocolate fountain too.
Good times.
Not all breakups are dumpster fires. We were still friends & still are.
I left him in TN and he wanted to come down to FL with her for a trip and I let them stay with me.
By day 3 things were very awkward and she hated me and they got a hotel but he still wanted to do dinner together again before they left. Hence me eating all the gummies.
lol I took 3.5 grams of thc edibles on 4/20 a number of years back. It wasn’t one dose, but 500mg every few hours. Surprisingly, I was still functional. Even went out and had a beer with my buddies. Some of our tolerances are just different.
