Cannabis Overdose Troubles.

Tell him not to do edibles. I am a daily stoner and i cant do shatter or those 80 - 90% THC concentrates. And I love high amounts of THC, but not too much. I don't know how people can function on that stuff. I take 3 hits and i green out for hours. Others can smoke that stuff like they eat popcorn, and do just fine. I guess it all has to do with matabolism.

 

Ever since the first time i ate a straight nug that my best friend grew "organic" in his first serious grow, over a decade ago, i've been trying to tell people... EATING IT MAKES IT MORE POTENT. (and those nugs smoked like... well, like well-grown organic nugs!)
 
If you're going to make edibles, dilute them. Seriously.
 
However...
 
If you were to, say, grow one of those high CBD, lower THC strains... you might not need to dilute it quite as much. (speculating)

 

It varies from person to person.
 
But it is a little strange that such a big dude got sick. Perhaps it was something else he ate? I've never known anyone to get violently ill off an edible.

 

Maybe it's something else he ate and the cookie just made him high. Either way, I want one

 

 
Now you have me curious as I love making edibles too.
 
So, in your first post you said six cookies had 8 grams in them in total? So does that approx. weigh out to 1.3 g's per cookie?
 
And if he only ate half... That's not even a full g he ate.
 
I could understand your situation, eating a full cookie after an entire year long tolerance break might be pretty damn powerful... I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around why/how a 280 lb man who smokes constantly could eat half a 1.3 g cookie and be so sick off it...
 
I'm 5'11, 140 lbs and smoke every day. Last October I baked a full o into 15 brownies and ate 4 of them. If you do the math, that's approx. a quarter I ate to my face. I had a blast, didn't get sick at all (even though the brownies were literally dripping oil) and woke up the next day still delightfully high.
 
Like I said, the only reason I could think of would be, in your case, you ate a full cookie after a year long tbreak and it was a hell of a comeback for you, and in your nephew's case, I don't know... Might of been something else he ate! Did he eat it on an empty stomach? I just don't know why half a weed cookie would do that. 

 

 
Hmmm the empty stomach definitely makes a difference in my opinion. Hits you much harder and faster if you eat it on an empty stomach.
 
I'm confused by the amount you put in each cookie though. However I think I would love to try one or two 
 
EDIT: I'm going to do an experiment. I paid some friends to bake a little over a half into a bunch of muffins yesterday. I'm on an empty stomach right now, and I'm going to try and eat two of them to see how that goes. I ate one yesterday and it wasn't as effective as I had hoped for, but I ate it after I ate a sandwich. I'll report back to tell you if eating them on an empty stomach changes anything.

 

yeah... the logistics seem... to have produced unexpected results.
 
I suppose it's possible that he could have an underlying health issue, which the cannabis infused cookie ingestion exacerbated...
 
I've NEVER thrown up from being high. I don't throw up easy, unless i drink too much (and i don't drink anymore, so i pretty much never puke at all). I'm tall and thin, and would be extremely careful with edibles, just because i don't want to put myself into a situation in which the only option is to "ride it out." That's another reason i prefer inhaling the combustion results: it's fast acting, so you don't overconsume before you can gauge the intensity of the effect, and, it doesn't last as long, so if you do manage to overdo it, "you'll be okay soon enough."

 

sounds like bad weed maybe mouldy or something.

 

You ate raw nug? Well I hope it tasted decent at least......

 

 
I love the smell and flavor of raw fresh organically grown nugs... i'd totally do it again.

 

I tried to put 2 grams on a bagel that had a shit ton of butter and i had it in the toaster for like 10 minutes cause bagels can take a while. Tasted like shit, almost puked. Nothing happened, eating raw nug is the stupidest thing you could ever do. I can totally support edibles as being potent. Some kid made oil capsules like 90% concentrate he put one gram in 00 capsule. He gave it to me, told me it was hash. Let's just say I had a pretty uncomfortable day. Which almost ended with a trip to the hospital.

 

damn send me a cookie and make me whitey sn00p

 

come on man... i could think of a plethora of things more "stupid" than eating a raw nug. I don't think that eating something harmless that may or may not cause a high, can be legitimately classified as "stupid." I'm pretty sure any greasy thing from any fast food place would be "stupider" than eating a fresh nug.

 

Ahaha id be open to trying a gourmet dish of various nuggets with hash oil on them or sumsum. They'd give me a fork and a steak knife and a fancy 420 bib...

 

i wonder how well nugs would combine with sushi...
