Edibles can be serious poo poo. I was given one and wasn't warned not to eat the entire brownie in one sitting. I ended up throwing up within 2 hours, and the intervening time (other than the growing nausea and headaches) just gave me the disassociation that my body was moving on autopilot and my brain was 30 seconds behind. My reflexes were still good enough that I could even catch things thrown at me, but it would take a while for my mind to realize what I had done.

I remember back in the late 90s old heads would talk about how potent "modern" weed was compared to the 70s and 80s stuff they used to smoke.

And now here I am being that old guy reminiscing about how weak 90s weed was compared to your average blueberry kush now.

I would not gently caress with today's edibles at all.

Besides the trees whose fruit they gather for this purpose, they have also a tree which bears the strangest produce. When they are met together in companies they throw some of it upon the fire round which they are sitting, and presently, by the mere smell of the fumes which it gives out in burning, they grow drunk, as the Greeks do with wine. More of the fruit is then thrown on the fire, and, their drunkenness increasing, they often jump up and begin to dance and sing. Such is the account which I have heard of this people.

Nah. Portion control, and typically if you're buying and not making your edibles (assuming your in a legalized state) they very clearly label them regarding THC content per serving and serving size.

But yes, if you've never eaten an edible start low the first time and give it an hour. You can always eat more then. Also, never just eat an edible someone gives you without figuring out how much of it you should eat first.

Most of you have probably seen this article before, but it's an old white person "accidentally" eating an edible & freaking the gently caress out, then idiotically posting the whole experience as an op-ed in the NY times.

The caramel-chocolate flavored candy bar looked so innocent, like the Sky Bars I used to love as a child.

Sitting in my hotel room in Denver, I nibbled off the end and then, when nothing happened, nibbled some more. I figured if I was reporting on the social revolution rocking Colorado in January, the giddy culmination of pot Prohibition, I should try a taste of legal, edible pot from a local shop.

What could go wrong with a bite or two?

Everything, as it turned out.

Still, in an ideal world it would put an end to the "don't use a caliber that doesn't start with a 4" bores. If three .38s will drop an 800 pound hog, then a 9mm is more than enough for dealing with a human.

Man shoots mammoth 820 pound wild hog in his front yard

Wade was afraid the huge hog would injure or kill the family pet so he grabbed a .38 caliber revolver that he keeps for home defense and went out on the front porch.

"By the time I got in a position to shoot, the hog was about 12 yards away," Wade said. "Cruiser was out of my line to the hog so I fired."

It took three shots to take him down. The giant hog hit the ground near the carport. The next day, Wade took the wild hog to Brooks Peanut Company and weighed it on the drive-thru scales. The hog tipped the scales at 820 pounds and had six inch tushes.

107 Million Spiders Found in 4-Acre Nest at Baltimore Wastewater Plant

The masses of webs were first discovered by horrified employees of the Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2009. The webbing engulfed almost the entire ceiling of the massive warehouse, occupying two to three feet extending from the ceiling. In some places, the webs are so thick that they permanently damaged structure fixtures and lighting, pulling them down with their weight.

Was this an abandoned water treatment facility or something? How did it get this bad? Have people in Baltimore been drinking spiders for the better part of 10 years?

"The brave experts that studied the all-encompassing webs estimated that around :gonk:35,176 spiders could be found in every cubic meter of space:gonk: – possibly making the nest the most concentrated spider population in the United States."

Also they technically don't have blades. The the unsharpened metal is supposed to grind through the tree. So it wouldn't even properly cut into someone. Of course having your skin ripped through sounds terrifying and painful though
