There's some cursing and saying the "F" word so if that bothers you, don't watch the videos.
So as you know, I pulled a muscle and pinched a nerve in my back and had sciatica not too long ago. My doctor wouldn't give me any pain meds because the x-rays showed nothing was broken. I'm still in a bit of pain but nothing like it was a few weeks ago. I was using a crutch just to walk around the little bit that I could. My daughter has been using Cannabis edibles for the severe pain of Lupus and RA she's been in and it helped so she suggested that I try one of her edibles. So, I said, what the heck, it can't hurt. Right? Maybe it will just make me tired and help a little with the pain, and I'll be able to get a little sleep... Oh how wrong I was. My daughter can take the same amount and not feel much at all. But I've never smoked weed and never taken an edible before, so I had no idea this was too much to start out with.
My daughter has been taking the 100mg edibles and drinks. So, she gave me one of the packs of gummy candies that were 100mgs and told me to eat the whole thing. That was a mistake, I just didn't know it yet.
You might think me posting this online is a mistake, but after it happened, I find it hilarious now. Let this be a warning to anyone who's never eaten a cannabis edible, to start off with a very small dose. Whatever you do, don't ingest 100mgs your first go around.
It started off slow, 2 hours after I took the edible it got hard to read and I started feeling dizzy. A few moments later, I was questioning all my life choices that thought taking an edible would be a good idea. The room started spinning and I was grabbing the computer desk for dear life because I thought I was going to fall out of my chair...it went downhill fast from there. I was grabbing onto the desk so I wouldn't fall, getting dizzy, and my eyes wouldn't stay open. I had the craziest thought spiral, a panic attack, and dissociated so hard it felt like my body was on earth and I was traveling in tunnels in space and visiting different realities that took years and years to get back home from. It felt like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I was so dizzy and felt so fuzzy that I wasn't able to get up out of that chair for 8 hours.
I couldn’t get the words out fast enough before they would slip away and I'd fall into the unknown dark place. I didn't like feeling like my brain was not in my control at all. It felt like I was being dragged into different portals or tunnels and I'd be gone for 80 years and then come back to my reality and I'd say, "I'm back again." I kept slipping away to a dark place, the world went black for a second because I was closing my eyes and couldn't keep them open but I didn't realize that's what was happening. I started to panic because it felt like I could only remember 3 seconds in the past and I was forgetting everything else. I was like this for 5 hours. Non-stop talking my daughter said, for 5 hours. And then I got sick and was vomiting non-stop for 3 hours. After that I was finally able to lay down in bed and sleep for a few hours.
I found these pretty funny because I'm the exact opposite of what you see in these videos. I am not an emotional person. I have a flat affect most times, I don't show a lot of emotion on my face for 99% of the time. So me jabbering away for 5 hours and being so emotional is not something that you see from me very often.
This is the edible that I ate.
