thinking of eating a 500 mg edible for my first time

  1. I heard 500 mg is a heavy dose and I never experimented with edibles before.

    I am aware that it is a bad idea but I just have a question, I heard that somebody’s heart rate went to 176 when experimenting with edibles and I’m all down for a bad trip but I just need confirmation that I won’t die from cardiac arrest.

    Thanks.
     
  2. Don't worry about it, if you die I'll nominate you for the Darwin award.

  3. Why? Sounds like a terrible time. You could die from cardiac arrest from playing a game of basketball at the park theoretically. So nobody can give you any guarantee. It's not a smart idea. Survival of the fitness boys.

    I'm high right now and this post has made my high even better. Thank you kind sir.

    Edit: Seriously, if you have never experienced an edible before, why in the galaxy would you want to start with a 500mg edible. To put things in proper prospective, I had a 225mg edible and I ate about 1/8 of it and was down for the count for the next 6-8 hours. I'm not sure how much you smoke or how much you weigh, but 10-20mg is quite standard for a beginner-intermediate.

  5. Looks like everyone is saying pretty much the same thing.
    I will too.

    While I wouldn't recommend the lowest dosages...you should really work your way up...you don't even know what an edible feels like as yet...it's not the same as smoking weed, it's much more physical and can overwhelm veterans if they don't show it proper respect.

    I make simple firecracker cookies that still crash me, and I've been in weed since the 90's.
    I doubt my cookies are over 100.

    I've seen people freak out, green out, be rendered pretty much unconscious, throw up everywhere, embarrass themselves...and completely spoil occasions for themselves by going overboard on the edibles - and these are all people who've had edibles before, and a long history.

    Another thing is...it can put you off it and fuck up your edible game for any future tries as well - this is the important thing that you DON'T want to do...we want you in the family, not running away from it.
    You don't want to be apprehensive like "what if it happens like that again?", and how you feel going in can determine where you land in your high.

    50 will do you. 100 will waste you. Any higher and...just...yeah, not good.

    I'd suggest not drinking any alcohol on the day you have edibles too, I find that it can spoil or even eliminate the effects before they begin.
    Have it on a somewhat (but not totally) empty stomach, maybe a half hour after eating something small.
    Mango. Banana. Those have been known to work hand in hand with THC and play nice.
    Have a tea/coffee when you eat it. Heat + caffeine will help it break up and work into your system.
    WAIT an hour when you have it. The effects are not instant - A lot of people have a bad "I didn't wait and had more" story. At most you should share a joint or something while waiting for the effects.

    People aren't misleading you here man - Don't do yourself in.

    Good luck.

  6. It ain't a rough dmt trip buddy. It's 15 hours of yikes.

    Take that 500mg bar and split it into 50s if you do! Eat one, wait 90 minutes before thinking about another. Sometimes takes two hours.

    That or split it into 25mg chunks and pop one an hour if your confident.

    But really a single 25mg edible for a novice smoker would be more than enough

  7. Edibles are different. You need to dose low and work up...Or sleep for a week

  9. They say masturbating with ice helps calm it down, but only if someone's watching...because you can pull it off on an edible and not realise it.
    Real talk.

  13. Don't listen to those^party poopers. Take the 500mg make a video, maybe you can be on the next Jackass movie.

  14. You definitely won't die. I'd say it's likely overkill, since your body can only absorb so much, but go for it! You'll probably end up asleep with that high of dosage though. I'd suggest not taking that much since you said it's your first edible. You just gonna mess up your tolerance.

    I'm a heavy user both edibles and smoke and greening out is very likely for you with that much. Greening has only happened to me once with edibles and it's very very unpleasant.

  16. I’m gonna go against most of the grain and say do it!
    You will see the true effect of the plant and what it’s meant to do, teach!

    You might have some trouble functioning for hours, so prepare yourself or have someone with you.

    You might also experience loss of self and space/time. You might hallucinate or perhaps see things you need to see.

    You might also lack the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of thc.

    Doing a strong dose will humble your ass and make you respect the cannabis plant. Lower doses are good for pain, sleep and appetite but won’t be the same as a heroic dose.

    Whatever you choose to do, best of luck in your journey

  17. If your a recreational user go for it. If you use it medicinally you are going to ruin it for yourself
