how is it that the only thing people know edibles from is "this edible ain't poo poo" anecdotes and yet they fall for it over and over

y'all wanted the death trip. admit it

hell I've been smoking and eating edibles for a long time now, and I'll still sometimes eat an edible and think "this ain't doing poo poo" and try some more.

I think it's a mistake made mainly by people who haven't done it before, and people who have done it a lot. New folks for obvious reasons, experienced ones because they've had plenty of edibles that actually weren't that strong or didn't do anything, and they waited all evening to feel something but all they got was a funny aftertaste in their mouth, even though their friend had assured them that they were SUPER STRONK, so gently caress it let's eat more

I just remembered when I told a co-worker that if he took a box of cookies from the emergency cookie cupboard, I'd eat them all, and a half-hour later he came to me with a coffee in his hand and asked me where all the cookies were.

Like, very rude to imply I'm a liar.

I don’t get why anyone would make a weed cookie that’s too strong for one person to eat without overdoing it.

just to get normal high should take like 8 cookies, why torture yourself with only being able to take one bite of a cookie?

it's because the industry isn't v well regulated and it can be difficult to produce consistent dosing in edibles esp things like baked goods

I learned a long time ago "once you take a drugs, don't re-dose even if it feels like it's bunk" because at BEST you're getting a mediocre, wasteful bump to your trip and at worst you are now interpreting sight, sound and touch as NES sound effects for what will feel like an eternity because of that weird time dilation feeling

Although make sure you understand what the dose is first, or you end up like me the one time I tried shrooms where I thought one piece was a dose and had a really boring night.

I just started Bad Blood last night, and it is amazing how loving stupid everyone involved was. Walgreens built an entire loving ghost store just to show Holmes where here awesome Theranos in-store clinic would go, mostly because one rich old man apparently wanted to gently caress Eve Jobs.

The part that was most enraging wasn't the stupidity, but that there were smart and talented people who got varying levels of coerced/tricked into wasting years of their sweat on something that multiple people know would never work, because the people in the know had no interest or intention of doing things well.
