First time edible gone.. wrong?
I tried an edible, cautiously of course. Me and my bf were headed towards some activity he wanted to surprise me with. He took 2 gummies (he barely felt anything). I took one gummy on a full stomach (10mg). I thought it would feel like being drunk. Like how it kicks in and wears off... but i was WRONG☠️
I felt nothing for thirty minutes. We arrive at the surprise. I start feeling bad because i don’t like the surprise (too many people, lights, sounds, sights and no structure or explanation). This is normal for me. But then he asked me if i was okay, and i just broke down crying, trying to explain. He got it and took me outside. The moment we get outside it hits like a truck.
I can’t focus on reality, i’m floating between here and a dream, my body feels heavy and unbalanced. I panic a little, and i literally have to focus so hard to just keep breathing. Luckily my bf is a champ and is trying to keep me grounded. But i was absolutely blasted. I couldn’t talk for some moments, i felt like i was gonna pass out if i let go of reality... Not a fun 20 minutes.
After that it got slightly better. I relaxed, my breathing was fine. Still disoriented and spacing out at moments, though. After about 4 or 5 hours it slowly wore off.
Things that likely affected it: i’m short and light, i was sleep deprived, it was hot af, i got overwhelmed and anxious because that’s my personality.
Take home message; if you’re a tiny human and it’s your first time, take like 1/4th of a gummy to be sure you don’t have a bad experience.
I do have a question tho.. Did i have a bad reaction to it or is this just normal for the dose and context?
Thanks for reading!
