    I’ll then eat a full handful more and freak everyone out because edibles don’t work on me (very sadly) but vapes work well enough.

    Back around 2015 I went to Amsterdam.

    Now I don’t really use the marijuana, but have.

    But I did want to eat a brownie while there as part of the experience.

    I met up with some other gals at a hostel. We all went to a famous coffee shop. Has a bulldog logo (?) It was super packed. But there was a big table of a few other young ladies and we asked if we could join. So we hung out with them the rest of the evening.

    I got my brownie. And of course I had read about dosage and such online before hand. Cause I was traveling alone and you gotta be smart about drug use as a tourist.

    The guide online said that the effects take a pretty long time to kick in. Some reporting an hour or even longer. But that the potency of THC in this particular brownie from this shop was very high. And was suggested to not eat more than one and not smoke and eat the brownie too.

    As I’m chatting up with these new friends, I notice one has a half eaten brownie in front of her , while she is also smoking.

    So I say. “Hey I read online …dosage…yada yada”

    And she’s like. “Oh shit. Really ?” But in a German accent cause she was German.

    She then told me she already ate a full brownie. That one of the other girls didn’t finish hers, so she was finishing it off.

    And I was like…

    “Guuuurrll. Be careful getting back to your hostel.”

    When we left we split up into two groups. There was like 10 of us. And we walked each other back to our hostels. I was with 2 other people going to a different hostel and 2 going back to mine (same room, which is how I met them).

    Idk what happened to the German girl. But here is what happened to me and my group.

    After we dropped off the 2 other ladies at their hostel we headed to ours.

    The brownies started to kick in. And ramped up fast. We had all had one. And then one of the girls had also smoked. So one of us was practically non functional while two of us near that point.

    We started getting really confused about how to get back to the hostel. It was pretty late by then. No busses or trams running. We were walking. Gps sucked balls back then. But that’s what we used.

    All the canals looked the same. We had to keep stopping to sit down . Because we were so fucked up. Were we walking in circles. Had we came this way already. ?

    I have never been so high in my life. And I definitely had overdone it a few times as a teen but it was nothing like this.

    We kept questioning if that was the same boat or different. Idk. Somehow we did finally make it back.

    The next morning one of them woke me up to ask if I wanted to go to the anne frank house. I was like. Fuck no.

    It was so surreal. Like anne fucking frank. !?!

    I can’t handle anne fucking Frank like this. You know?

    I Slept until like 3pm. I was also dealing with time change cause I’m from the Midwest U.S. but yeah. So I missed them and they were going back to Spain after anne frank house. so I never saw them again or got their info. :/. Cool people tho.

    But omg. I still wonder about that German chick. Damn.

    She was with a group going to her hostel but I bet she had a rough time. Brownie had to have kicked in before ours did. 🫪

    Sometimes I have a moment of slight regret after taking an edible. Once you’ve chewed and swallowed it, there’s that moment where you don’t feel high yet but it is now inevitable that you’re going to get high, it’s too late to change your mind

    I had two and thought it wasn’t working. Took a third.

    Spent an unknown amount of time frozen in my chair because I could feel the air too much on my skin.

    Give it a second, kids.

      Had a buddy back when I was a big pothead, he was always down to push it. He’d call me up, I’d be with a third friend, and he’d be like “Go get three blunt wraps and meet me wherever,” and so we’d just do it, and we’d meet him, and he’d be like “I got three different strains, we’re going to smoke all three of these blunts.” My friend and I would put up the fight, it was customary, but our buddy would say “What’s going to happen to you?” And that was always where the fight would leave us, and we’d acquiesce and a smoke three blunts, and we’d get super high and sit in the front bench seat of his Toyota Avalon listening to Ratatat.

      I no longer smoke (or use marijuana at all), but I have many fond memories of my smoking days.

          Hit my quota, I guess. Started bugging me out too often, even small amounts. It’s funny because I talked to my dad about it back in the day and he said the same thing happened to him, smoked a lot as a kid, and then it would just make him paranoid, so I guess it runs in the family.

        That actually sounds like a pretty awesome time. I had not heard of Ratatat until I came across their collabs with the rapper Despot, which you should definitely check out if you haven’t already. Their sound is excellent for when you’re super baked.

      If you don’t feel the second dose kick in right away you should probably take a third dose. Surely you won’t regret taking a third dose.

        The fist two didn’t work tho so don’t just keep repeating the same thing - it’s obv a dosage issue & the third one should be at least double.

          Actually, if you’re two or three deep and nothing is happening after a long enough time, you might be genetically deficient and unable to metabolize the good stuff.

    I personally hate edibles, you have like an entire hour not knowing if you’re functional or not. with smoking you just turn into a human blob instantly.

    That being said, it’s just personal preference and there are a lot of benefits to edibles.

      I don’t care for them most of the time, but they are ideal when you’re about to get on a plane, or go to a movie theater, or theme park, or anywhere where you want to be high for a long time but can’t smoke.

      I got some gummies on a trip once and when I read the dosing instructions it said “5mg per serving” right on the front. I knew that 10mg - 15mg is my sweet spot… so I ripped open the bag and ate 2 gummies. Then, after I swallowed I noticed on the back it said “Serving size: 1/5 piece”.

      That was a miserable night.
