Is it dangerous or bad for your health or just you got too hosed up? He said it felt like he was having heart problems but has no issues with his heart.

Still seems like anxiety and too much poo poo. Probably just needs to not get hosed up, heh.

I have a friend who got high after a long time of not smoking, like 10 years. He said he did an edible and then a few hits off a vape pen. The edible was a store bought gummy (10mg) and the vape was cookies and cream.

He said that later on he felt really hosed up... heart pounding and feeling like it was skipping beats, shaking, cold and hot, etc. Chest pounding and all that.

It sounds like a panic attack or anxiety. Looking at the news about this, it seems that edibles are more apt to result in weird side effects than smoking. Sucks. Anyone have any experience like this?

Does the same thing happen when they eat broccoli?

it can make your heart pound like a motherfucker at almost any movement, combine that with panic/anxiety for a bad time. if he's got no other problems with his heart, he'll be alright (+some respect for the gummies).

I ended up going to the friendly neighbourhood cannabis store after work and picked up one of these kits: https://ocs.ca/products/trainwreck-redee-510-thread-vape-kit

seems like an alright price and comes with a battery, so hopefully I can use this with other cartridges until I figure my poo poo out and get a better battery.


I took a pull from the concentrate pen the same way I would for a desktop vape for flower. nearly coughed a lung out and couldn't breathe properly for a few minutes. these things are scary and enticing, like a fine weed sports car. 9/10, will try again.

yeah i dont think any of this is a "weird side effect" sounds like your friend got too high due to the tolerance break and freaked himself out. i mean 10 years you might as well be reseting to the first time you ever get high, and that can be intense

one time my mom got a bunch of rick simpson oil in gel caps from the guy she was buying weed from and she gave me one. i let it sit around for like six months then one day i took it and felt like i was having a heart attack and was conscious but couldn't lift my arms or open my eyes for 2 hours.

I've had edibles do that when I took too much. It's just a panic attack because you're getting too deep in your own head about how the weed, something that won't kill you, feels like it's killing you. Really shouldn't be jumping in that deep after 10 years.

I don't know if I'm making them wrong or not but for me edibles seem to do very little save for really messing me up getting out of bed the next day. I want to try some of these really strong ones see if they do anything.

i didn't much enjoy the paralysis. otoh i was only on weed, so i knew the whole time i would be ok, and it wasn't that scary. edibles can have very powerful effects, but there is not a single recorded case of someone dying from taking edibles. your friends fine just maybe go a little easier next time. and personally i would avoid those pens and just smoke or vape flower or take edibles.

2mg a square, now that's a scam right there. I guess the initial regulations are 10mg per pack, and everyone jacks up their prices like an rear end in a top hat. stick it to the man by buying (or growing) your own flour and making some butters or oils.

I order from a MOM and get a 300mg bar with 20mg per square for $15 - $20 CAN and it isn't wrapped in ridiculous packaging.

can someone give me a rundown on what I need to do to get going? I'm pretty lost

510 threads are standard for carts. You just need a good battery or two to thread them into. Ideally you should get a battery where you can adjust the voltage. I got a couple basic pen style ones from a local vape shop for $12 each. If you go into a vape shop and ask about 510 thread batteries they should be able to help you. Most shops seem to carry stuff for concentrate use these days

I've had a ccell Silo for about a year and it's my sturdy little battery to put in my pocket. You can't adjust the voltage on it, but it's otherwise a nice discreet and long lasting battery to have. You can't really go wrong with the ccell batteries

way back in the day when I would get super loving high every time I smoked, I used to keep a clock app on my computer with really big digital numbers so I could count out my heart rate and be sure I wasn't dying

it kind of worked in keeping me from freaking out, at least

I'm wondering if my documented chronically elevated eye pressure is enough to get me a medical card for glaucoma. Probably not. :sigh: Michigan has a pretty short list of qualifying conditions and that's the closest I can get.

Lol what the gently caress, glaucoma is like the OG medical weed excuse, it's the second one listed on Michigan's medical weed "what disease do I need" site. You could probably get a recommendation from your actual doctor, get on the phone you nihilist

seriously click this it's the second one, after cancer

E "chronic pain?" "Severe nausea?" Dude you're so in

Yeah, but it's not technically glaucoma. Yet.

Maybe "Dr. Ganja" at the local dispensary can massage it into something.

I don't think these actually get you high? Or do they? I just saw some at my dispensary.

Picked up some mid level sativa. Clerk was pushing the real high grade stuff but I decided to go slightly cheaper.

We live in a corrupt capitalist society so you can get it even if you don't meet the criteria. There is absolutely a corrupt nurse or doctor that will give you a prescription regardless, just so long as you have enough money for the "consulting fee". Before legalization that is how I got mine, and the receptionist was nice enough to give me a pamphlet of what medical issues qualify and what symptoms to report to the doctor if I didn't have a valid medical diagnosis and still wanted medical-grade weed. I think it was $25 for the consultation fee and $25 for the medical card. Note though: said doctor did lose his license for a year after there was an investigation into suspicious activities by him and they found over twenty safety deposit keys in the trunk of his car and he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation of why he had them.

For your case though, eye pressure symptoms and glaucoma is *the* diagnosis for getting prescribed cannabis, outside of AIDS and cancer. Try it anyway!
