Took 12 hours to come up... not exactly a fun experience

A little background about myself, I'm sort of a new toker (started smoking about 6 months ago). I have a pretty low tolerance as I don't smoke everyday (2-3 times a week).
 
I wake up one morning and a get a text from a buddy who asked if I wanted to buy an edible. I said sure and dropped $7 on a caramel bar. I got the bar at around 2:30pm, consumed it immediately (it tasted/smelled like straight dank) because I was going to be in a good setting all day (my house). Hours pass and I'm feeling nothing. I felt a little bit of something but I think it was just placebo effects, and I was pretty tired at one point. Around 10 hours after consuming the bar (10:30pm) I was at loss of hope for this thing to work. So I had my buddy over and we just chilled. We wanted to drink but he just passed out at around 1am. I'm getting really hungry but I resist the urge to get a bag of chips at 1am by watching videos on youtube. I'm way too lazy to look for my headphones this late as well so I just play the videos out loud. I'm starting to feel a little funny, and I'm really confused. I sit up at around 2am and I realize I'm stoned. It wasn't exactly more intense than a regular high because I was really tired. I end up just passing out at 4am because I didn't have shit to do that late. It was just a very confusing and boring high, I believe its because of the setting I was in. I might give it another try in the future.
