Why did I get sick?

probably too much weed at once

did you have any alcohol? i made edibles and brought them to an x-mas party. i warned the crowd but they dove into them. the ones who were/had been drinking, got sick, just like you described. The ones who didn't get sick hadn't been drinking and were "seasoned" tokers used to eating edibles.

I figured it was either too much at once or a combo effect of the alcohol and weed in their system

 

Probably too much weed. You just greened out man , but the alcohol idea sounds good too.. definietely doesn't help when your getting high.. I like to keep em seperate for the most part. Don't even want to drink half the time I'm high

 

Yes, i think the problem was i showed up late - i was baking! - and the majority of the people there already had a buzz on from drinking

it was funny, the smokers hadn't touched any alcohol, cause they were smoking. The drinkers did go a bit overboard though. i told them only two each, most of them doubled that.

 

Lol then they received what was coming to them. Edibles shouldn't be taken lightly lol. Shit's potent.

 

I commend your bravery but you'll be fine. Just a lower dose and no alcohol. Drunk people react to weed differently. Some people get the spins very quickly when smoking while drunk.

 

Everyone is pretty much dead on. Ill do my best to put it into medical terms for you.

Your symptoms were, like the general consensus, too much green in your system at once.

You have to understand that when you ingest green your body goes through the normal digestive process and EVERYTHING hits you right after that. This is diff than smoking because you are taking in a fraction of what you would eat with each hit. Panic, Anxiety and yes puking your brains out happens. This is usually with first timers who suffer from the classic "freak out" of eating an edible without knowing what to expect. My first time was hell on earth. Now, I have no problems what so ever.

Also, I suppose it is important to mention that a decent amount of green off the streets as opposed to getting it from a dispensary carries bacteria that causes sinus infections. There is a chance that you ingested something along those lines. You have nothing to worry about (your stomach acid def killed whatever was there (if it was) within hours but it still could of made you have such ill effects.

Marijuana has an affect on the endocrine system (hormones) which connects to the serotonin feedback loop (the happy chemical in your brain that most anti depressants affect. Messing with serotonin can def cause your systems.Further, alcohol is a depressant and temp. affects your serotonin and hormonal levels as well which is a double whammy.

I know this post was kind of scattered so if you have any questions feel free to PM.

Regardless, nothing to worry about.

 

quite right,and I react to spin so quick

 

Dude, I put like .4 or .5 in a firecracker. Who the hell told you to put 1-2 grams in one.

 

Firecrackers are a 'worst case scenario' edible; they are made when you need to be fast and stealthy, and you do not have the time or the tools to prepare a proper edible oil. Usually because of this, they are a less efficient use of your herb (you require much more canna/material, to achieve the same, or sometimes even less of an effect, than you would have needed if it had been processed properly in oil over the course of several hours). When processed properly, it takes only .35g to send most patients to the moon, and some even require only half that dose. The better you process your herb, the less canna you'll need.

What you've done, besides using nearly 6 times the dose you'd need in a proper oil, is what ALL people should be doing with their firecrackers, when they happen to have the time: Heating them longer.

If you reduce the initial temperature slightly, and begin a cycle of heating and freezing your firecracker/s in 20 minute intervals, you will end up with a devastatingly narcotic, edible. This also means you can reduce your dosage drastically, and still achieve this intense effect. "More bang, for your buck".

The closer your process comes to emulating the proper oil method, the better your resulting 'crackers, will be.

Hope this helps

 

Too high of a dose. A few months ago I had a 1 gram firecracker of purple kush and smoked around 6-8 bowls out of my bong, and ended up puking a few times and feeling shitty.

 

Everyone's answers are pretty right on and I would just like to share my personal experience with 1) edible and 2) intake of both alcohol and cannabis.

I remember the first time eating a weed cookie (about a gram in it). Although I would normally not get too high off one gram (and by too high, I mean greening out; unable to function at all), the first time I had the edible.. oh wow.
I literally could not move and heard weird sounds and this persisted for quite awhile. Definitely be careful with pace when consuming edibles.

Personally, I don't like mixing alcohol with cannabis (except a few beers). I simply pass out. Wake up the next morning or afternoon, then blame the alcohol for wasting my high.

 

why do i keep seeing people talking about half eighths...you cant honestly tell me you buy your weed 1.75 grams at a time....and also half an eighth would be called a sixteenth..saying half of an eighth makes it seem like you never quite figured out basic math...i feel like slappin some people...

 

Well down in Florida you'd have a LOT of slapping to do. A half eighth seems to be the most commonly purchased personal sack. Most dealers advertise their product as either 25-50 or 30-60, being the prices for a half eighth and an eighth.
