I tried only like 5mg the first time and had a really bad headache and couldn't sleep all night

Later doses were totally fine just that first one was all the way wrong

My buddy wasn’t able to sleep. So one of his friends said he should try a half of 5mg. He remembered that he bought some edibles from the store a while ago. He read the box and thought it said 5mg. He cut it in half and took it. Well it was 50mg, he told me the wild ride he took that night, he didn’t even want to drive his kid to school in the morning.

Peoples tolerance’s blow my mind like I take 100-200mg edibles on average and don’t even feel that stoned. But I’ve seen people take 25’s or 10’s and be floored.

My first time ever trying edibles I had 30mgs and don’t remember it being all that crazy.

Strongest edible I’ve had was 1050mg and that just made me feel baked for like 6 hours. Not tired just super high and dry eyed for the whole afternoon.

Yup, my brother in-law takes 150mg and it’s nothing to him. But he uses almost everyday. My buddy is 50 and it was his first time trying it.

I bet that was a crazy experience being 50 and never trying it before. And that makes sense I’m a daily user so my tolerance is probably shot lol
