(THC-A & D9)

Okay listen, I like greening out on THC. Like, that is something I enjoy doing. (I dissociate a lot and greening out is oddly grounding to me, I really don't know how to explain it.) I do it on purpose sometimes. I know I won't die from overdoing it, and at this point in time I find it therapeutic for my mental health.

Last night was not something I've ever experienced with greening out, and I have been consistently doing it on purpose for more than 6 years straight. This post will give a full and honest product review, but tldr: the gummy itself was good and if I had taken less, it would have been very enjoyable. Based on what I experienced, I would recommend taking 1/8th of a gunmy if you are a heavyweight edible veteran.

I have been hurting for actual weed lately so I spent $7 on a "legal" edible from a local smoke shop that I know and trust. I've used their products hundreds of times and the staff know me by name. I bought a new brand of edible because they didn't have my usual.

("Elegant Cannabis" brand, "Blue Raspberry" flavor, "600mg bite".) I took this edible home and read the packaging. According to the package, it is a THC-A and D9 blend, with less than 0.3% of it being D9 by dry weight. There is ZERO INFORMATION on the website about how many mg exactly is THC-A but I assume it is mostly THC-A. (Because HOLY FUCKING SHIT.)

I took HALF of the gummy. (300mg.) No acid reflux, no stomach ache afterwards. It tasted good, and left no aftertaste. It did not taste like the THC-A was sprayed onto the gummy, and overall was a high-quality gummy product. It started kicking in after 20 minutes despite me eating a full meal before consuming.

I took a 300mg dose because I have a really high edible tolerance built up, and routinely consume 250-500mg D9/THC-A edibles from the brand "double-stacked". I figured I'd green out, but nothing like this.

Side note: I've never had an actual panic attack while greening out before. In over 6 years of doing this, NEVER. That's almost definitely what happened last night though.

The come-up was smooth and for about 90 minutes I was really enjoying myself, just watching youtube and playing Minecraft. And then I started to feel my heart beating really hard and fast. At first, I ignored it. I've had racing heartbeats before and knew that worrying would make it worse, so I drank some water, turned Minecraft off, and laid down with the lights off to relax with some chill music. But it got much worse, to the point of it actually hurting from how hard my heart was beating in my chest. It physically hurt. (This was the point at which I realized I had fucked up with dosage and was about to have a rough night.)

I did some breathing exercises and reminded myself that it was from the edible, and that nobody actually dies from edibles. I reminded myself that no matter what, I was going to have to ride this out, so I should just accept what is happening and roll with it. So I got comfortable to wait it out.

At a certain point, the pain from my heart beating so hard began to turn into a burning sensation that lingered in my lungs, and it was physically painful to take deep breaths, so I closed my eyes and accepted that my body would continue breathing on its own (as it does) without me focusing on it.

And then it crossed my mind that if I was actually experiencing a medical emergency, no one would know. And that was the point at which I started to actually be anxious about dying. I started weighing the possibility of "what happens if I die tonight?" I have never experienced this fear before, and I think that I might have experienced complete ego death last night??

I tried, again, to remind myself that no one dies from THC overdose, and that I was not going to die. I asked myself what I needed to do to make sure I could accept my fate and relax without fear. I took it upon myself to put myself in recovery position in case I vomited, and unlocked my bedroom door (I currently live with family). That was really the only precautions I was able to take, so that was all I did.

After all that, I just laid there withmy thoughts and rode it out. It took six hours for me to come out of it, and I was completely fine. I didn't even vomit.

The experience itself isn't what scared me the most. That's just what happens when you overdo it and green out and have a panic attack. What scared me the most was that I completely accepted that I was about to die, and I did not fight back.

I was capable of texting someone. I was under the impression that I was in fact going to die, and that no amount of calling for help would save me. (I live in the middle of nowhere, it would take 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive at my home.) I made a deliberate decision to NOT TEXT ANYONE. Not to say goodbye, not to tell them that I overdid it on drugs and thought I was going to die, nothing. I made peace with every single thing I regret in my life up to this point and was completely ready to move on to what happens after death.

I seriously asked myself if there was anything in my life I had not done yet that I still wanted to do, and the answer was no. There is nothing. I was willing to accept that there is nothing in my future that I would regret missing out on if I died right now.

That is what scares me. I think maybe there is something deeply wrong with my subconscious, and I should probably unpack that. I'm not even 24 years old yet and I was conpletely willing to give up my life and go without putting up a fight. In that moment, I was capable of accepting that I would never do anything ever again, and would be moving on. So uh...

10/10 product strength.

9/10 product taste and feel.

10/10 high when used properly.

0/10 personal experience, because now I think I need to speak with a mental health professional.

I can and will continue to green out on purpose, but I will be doing so in much lower doses. Always remember to dose lower than you think you need, folks.

Edit: TWs: Addiction, suicide.

Editors note: I am currently safe. I am reaching out to loved ones who I know will support me and help me through my current mental state despite feeling hopeless. If you ever feel hopeless, please reach out to someone, even if you reaching out is just a post on reddit talking with strangers. You are loved, and you are cared for.

I don't think I properly articulated why this experience scared me so much. It was just a panic attack and greening out. It was just a bad trip. It is incredibly difficult for me to explain, but I am going to try by giving some background.

I am an addict in recovery. My substance of obsession is considerably more dangerous and physically harmful than synthetic THC, and it can cause permanent brain damage. I'm still relatively early-on in my recovery and sudden cravings to pop pills are really intense. Of all the coping mechanism that I've used to deal with these cravings, the one that has helped me the most is getting high on something else. It curbs the cravings quickly.

Is it healthy for me to replace one addiction with a different substance? Absolutely not. Is it what's kept me from relapsing in the past? Yes it is. Therefore, it is MUCH LESS harmful, and I will continue to use this method as a last resort. (Exclusively as a last resort.)

I was extremely close to relapsing last night, and actually went out to buy DPH to get high on. I then made the decision to spend that money on synthetic THC instead. This is harm reduction and damage control. (Yes, I am in therapy. And yes, my therapist will be hearing about this, as usual.)

Like I said earlier, I based my dosage off of past experiences with similar synthetic edibles. I had no way of knowing (and no reason to suspect) that this specific brand would be so much stronger than my usual. I looked online too, and there were zero reviews about the strength of these things, so I assumed they weren't anything out of the ordinary.

I took a dosage that I thought I was prepared for, and I mentally prepared for that dosage. When that dosage far exceeded what I had prepared for with little to no warning (the onset was VERY fast, and well past my normal "peak" time) I was put into a dangerous headspace that I was not ready to be in, and that's what scared me.

I was not prepared to experience what would happen internally if I actually died. I was not prepared to ask myself existential questions like "Can I accept that I didn't achive the things I wanted to achive in life?" In my current life, I have passive suicidal ideation and very little will to live, and last night when I genuinely believed that I was going to die, I was excited to die.

It scares me that I attempted multiple times to "let go" and allow myself to die. It scares me that I attempted to stop fighting, and that I was actually frustrated/upset with the fact that I didn't die when I "let go". That is not a healthy or safe mindset to be in. And it especially scares me that I don't have any future goals or purpose that would drive me to keep living in the future.

I'm not in a good place in my current life. I'm struggling with severe physical disability, I recently left an abusive relationship and lost the life of a child, and I am an addict in recovery. I had to drop out of college and am unable to return to my degree. I burned a lot of bridges and I lost a lot of really good friends because of choices that I made. I don't currently have a purpose to live, I'm just taking things day-by-day. And it scares me that when I was given (what I genuinely thought) was an opportunity to die, I accepted it with NO ATTEMPT to save myself.

Some people in the comments have been saying that I did not experience ego death. I'm not gonna argue with them, I'm not an expert capable of diagnosing ego death. I can be wrong. But if it wasn't ego death, it was truly the death of my will to live. That is dangerous.

Again, I am currently reaching out to people who care about me and will support me. I am currently safe. It's just very jarring to have experienced that. I know it was just a bad trip, and it isn't the end of the world. Sorry for being so depressing.

I (20F) just recently got into smoking and was wondering how/where I can purchase a decent quality pipe.

Can I purchase a pipe in a smoke shop? Or are there any websites online anyone would recommend as an alternative?

Hola a todos los que están empezando como yo! les quería compartir un concepto básico que al principio me mareaba cuando veía los fertilizantes en el growshop.

Los famosos tres números de las etiquetas de los fertilizantes ( ejemplo 4-2-4 o 1-5-4 ) representan el porcentaje de tres minerales claves.

- N ( Nitrógeno ), es el motor del crecimiento verde, hace crecer hojas, tallos y da ese color verde fuerte que se ven bien sanas, se usa mas que nada en vegetativo.

- P ( Fósforo ), ayuda a formar raíces fuertes al principio y es clave para que los cogollos ganen volumen en floración.

- K ( Potasio ), ayuda a la planta a transportar azúcares, resistir alguna enfermedad y le da dureza/densidad a las flores.

Un error que cometí fue pensar que mas alto el número, mejor el producto. Me di cuenta de que una plántula bebé con un fertilizante de alto Nitrógeno se quema al toque. Es cuestión de dar el mineral correcto en la etapa justa y osea la cantidad justa del mineral que necesita para la etapa en que se encuentre la planta. si la planta es pequeña darle un poco menos de fertilizante que recomienda el envase.

¿ A alguien más le daba miedo fertilizar las primeras semanas por temor a quemar las plantas ?

ok i've only ever smoked from a cart but i'm going to a concert next week and i wanna have an edible for the concert, but idk how much to eat?

my cart is 7g and it takes me a few hits to get high, so idk how many mg that is... and the edibles i looked at are 500mg so how much should i take so that i'm like high enough to experience the concert really well, but i'm not like tweaking out especially with my family?

thank youuu!!

i just started smoking, literally have only bought one pack. my buddies got me into it and theyve been smoking for a bit. i bought the 5 pack of munchies peachy dreams hybrid pre-rolls, and i love them. i am a college student so i am on a budget, but what should i know about smoking weed as im getting more into it?

I bought this bong from a local smoke shop not too long ago, and the downstem would not come out. Didn’t bother me at first, but now the down stem has broken, and I need to replace it. The only issue being, I can’t figure out a way to pull the downstem out. I feel like I’ve tried everything, but it just won’t budge. What do I do?

Hello!! I recently got a ice kream dispo and i don't understand what some of the things mean. I don't understand the numbers (ex. 333) that it shows for the modes. I also don't understand whatever the number that pops up whenever u hit it means. If anyone has an answer thatd be amazing

Is ts safe? Or trustworthy

I'm not new to weed and gummys but I don't usually order online I buy from freinds but I'm getting this from everything420 (ik people got mixed feelings but I don't know anywhere else and not 21) and I saw 300mg per gummy and was like shit that is a fuck ton but I didnt think they would be selling them as like the first one to pop up if it was true so I need input. And don't bitch about waiting till 21

Context:
I am an engineering student and I received an internship offer from a defense contractor, this is a really prestigious firm but I can’t pass their drug test by their deadline. I have smoked wax and carts daily for a month, quit a week ago as soon as I got my offer. I have asked for an extension to accept my offer, which they may or may not grant. I need to have my bases covered in the case they don’t, so I need a way to pass the test. I am considering several options.
Option A:
Use my GFs urine (she knows and is sympathetic) , put it inside a 5 hour energy bottle and hide it on my person. The downside with this option is that I don’t know if the drug test can distinguish sex or identity.
Option B:
Make an anonymous post on Craigslist offering an exorbitant amount of money for a clean sample. Downside with this option is that I wouldn’t have a way to confirm the sample is clean until I have it in hand, by which point it would be too late to ask for a new sample.
Option C:
Use a synthetic urine alternative like QuickFix, which I have heard positive things about. I would be able to test if the synthetic shit works by doing a lab test with it before the real thing, but I don’t know if the employer lab test is using any different methodology.

I am asking for advice from anyone who has experience with a similar issue, or even better someone who is a professional in the medical field familiar with the methodology of drug tests. I need to get this internship, if I don’t idk what I am gonna do.

Made this for people who are still learning the landscape. You can filter by effect (relaxing, energizing, creative, etc.), flavor, and type. Helps make sense of the options without getting overwhelmed.

I have a live hash rosin cart. If I blow out the vapor out my window (it has a window screen/mesh) will it keep the smell out of my room?

There’s 10 pieces with each piece being 500mg each, anyone ever given these a try? Are they as potent as it claims? I have a pretty high tolerance but even just one piece is a crazy amount for me.

This might be the most obvious answer ever, i just need personal confirmation…

ordered from someone for the first time off telegram, usually met with someone in person that was a friend of a friends but he just disappeared and i was desperate.

I was also super drunk when doing it and when i was talking to him he kept changing the price and the fees, and tried to get me to pay for someone else debt saying id get cash back? he ft me with all the product and had receipts on the group, and ig drunk me thought it was safe cuz he had a ton of followers and people in the group.

He first said he’d drop off that night, but then backed out saying his boss wouldn’t let him and he needed it to be a bigger order, and now is saying i can’t get my shit until i pay a cover fee.

am i cooked?

Hey this is probably under the wrong thing but I’m having trouble searching online for a mushroom vape with absolutely no thc so I can pass my drug tests I recently bought one but ended up failing after I found out there was thc in it

Does anyone know if everything 420 does a ID verification at checkout, I haven't ordered anything yet but I'm going to at the end of the day, I've seen people say its only stuff over 60$ or something like that, just wanted to know if anyone knew, Thanks

I’ve had this cart for like months and every time I’ve tried hitting it ,DUST. I do not get high at all, I only get tired/ have a a headache. I searched up the stats and am still confused, it’s hybrid so idk why I always get this tired.
I wonder if it’s just me

Hello! I tried Mary J. for the first time 3 different ways about a week ago, and while discussing my reaction to it with a friend I realized that it may have not had a typical effect on me, so I was kinda curious to see what other people thought.

For a lil extra info, I have chronic pain, FND, and other possible undiagnosed conditions (both mental and physical), so I've been experimenting with a variety of substances (booze, mushrooms, morphine, ect. All supervised, dw).
I also don't get addicted to anything for some reason; I know most people just say that, but there was a time where I was drinking daily for over a week and just stopped & had no withdrawal symptoms or intense cravings.
I'm a heavyweight in almost everything, and I try to avoid mystery mixtures as much as possible (which isn't hard bcs most earth-grown substances are legal where I live & are available in quality-monitored stores) so it's highly unlikely my reaction was because I took too much or I wasn't able to handle it due to the leaves being cut with something.
Also, when I tried the Mary J. for the first time I hadn't been taking any prescription meds, however I did have one drink directly prior (about 6-7% alc content, no pun intended).

I tried (in order) a joint, bong, and edibles all spanned pretty evenly throughout 3-4 hours.

The joint didn't really do much, and the bong, despite giving me something close to the worse chest and throat pain I've ever experienced, didn't do much except make me feel a bit more "mellow", if that makes sense. Also it worsened my Paresthesia (pins & needles feeling I get constantly in my hands that sometimes spreads full-body) but not in the usual painful way I get.

HOWEVER, edibles were a completely different story. Instead of making me hungry or all giggly like people usually describe Mary J., it just triggered some symptoms that I usually only get during medical episodes, but slightly different.

Everything I saw looked zoomed out and tilted, as well as having a far worse version of the usual visual snow/static I have. Everything was also delayed/lagging; I'd go to touch something, and I'd see it happen half a second later than I instructed my body to do it. Everything looked like I was seeing it out of my peripheral vision, also.

Best example I could find to how everything I was looking at seemed to me is the paintings by Alex Colville:

It was really disorienting, though I wasn't exactly paranoid or panicking since most of these symptoms have happened before, and it lasted until I went to sleep a couple hours after it started.

I wanted to know if this was normal? Because I explained my experience to the friend I did it with a couple days later and they thought that it was a really odd reaction since they did the exact same things I did at the exact same time.

Also, side note: if anyone is reading this who's planning on trying Mary J., I heavily do NOT recommend using a bong; or at least don't use one of the larger ones. Absolute pain and suffering and agony and torture and suffocation; 0/10. You'd have to have tar black lungs and a trachea that's as hard as a rock to be able to handle ts.
It may just be because I don't smoke, but Jesus fucking Christ it was a horrid experience. Don't risk the suffering I endured.

I smoked a weed vape yesterday for the first time and had a bad trip and I’m not doing so goodI never felt more alone in my life. It’s been 12 hours and I still feel so out of my body. It was so fun at first but then it got horrible, stuck in loops and nothing is real to me. I have extremely bad anxiety and thought that maybe this could help me calm down and it hasn’t. How long will this last, what can I do to help me get back to normal again? I’m so sorry.

I lost my id a couple days ago and I got some stuff coming, will I be ok or do i need to cancel?
