Never felt anything like it, but it brought me back to how I was in my childhood and I could even play more video games and enjoy myself more.

Like, damn.

Just one edible, I took. Sativa. Peach-flavored. From Beyond / Hello.

Before that, I took half of an edible.

I was relaxed and my head was swimming, but I felt in control.

I had to lie down at first, though, but I wasn't worried.

My interoception (feeling your own body) was on fire though.

It’s pretty great, honestly. Simply trying it shows you how completely fucked the war on drugs has been.
Definitely be cautious about over-doing it, but have fun! It’s an incredible enhancer to experiences, but can make you very ok with being unproductive and lazy.

    Everyone should be okay with being unproductive and lazy as it is our default state. Capitalists have tricked us into thinking we have to be productive so they can exploit that productivity for profit. Lying in bed all day and eating snacks is praxis.

    Don't get me wrong, I love chilling out and being lazy, but I don't think I totally agree: I don't think work is inherently bad. It's bad under capitalism because we're exploited and alienated, but under communism I think it will actually be fulfilling and meaningful.

    Idk, my depression gets a lot worse when I just veg. I'm not saying be productive for your capitalist overloads, but being productive for myself is really important. Reading, learning, helping people, building things, all make me happy to live my life.

    I think this is just me using the word "productive" literally and others using it to mean...something else? Idk I'm autistic and it's hard to communicate sometimes. Lying in bed and reading a book is not typically what someone means when they say "be productive" in my own experience. In fact, I've been called lazy for doing that exact thing many, many times.

    Man what I wouldn’t do to get that first high feeling just one more time before I die. Well, time to roll me a gorilla thumb.

    It's great but don't do it more than once a month.

    Have had more of a few friends start a wake-and-bake lifestyle then remain totally stuck for years and be absolutely unable to carry on a simple conversation, or even finish a sentence without trailing off.

    Other bad possibilities include cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Basically if you don't smoke for a few hours you get deeply nauseous. Once hooked up with someone who had to fully leave my house into the night at 3 am because they started vomiting from it but I didn't have any weed to give them.

    "once a month" is a fine rule if you really want to keep it special, but there's still a giant gap between that and actually abusing the stuff. I'd say guidelines like: don't make it part of your routine, don't use when you are feeling down, don't use if you are bored or only use it on special occasions or when you are with friends are much more sensible for actually keeping it in check.

    So do it once a month at best? Or don't get "high" more than once a month?

    Gotcha.

    And yeah, this was an edible, though I felt in control.

    Everyone's different. I share a bowl with my wife every night while we are winding down before bed. Haven't had any negative side effects.

    When I was in my twenties, I was a much heavier smoker. I was deeply unhappy with my circumstances, and used it as a way to shut my brain off after work or on weekends. The worst side effect there was hanging out with people I shouldn't have, and spending too much money on it. Now, it's cheap and everywhere.

    I remember my first time so clearly, it was incredible.

    depression/shA mandatory reporter had just told my parents about my sh and they weren't taking it well. (they eventually came around though). I had been horribly depressed. I tell one of my friends about the situation and we go out to his truck. My god only a few puffs and I was so fucking happy. It felt like the best experience of my entire life. The depression, gone. Replaced with a child like feeling. Everything was so good. Food tasted good again. It was an incredible change from low to high.

    I'm doing better now

    But yes, weed is amazing. Big fan. I know what you mean by the head swimming, I really like that.

    I will tell you now that you're beginning your weed journey, sometime you will do too much. Time will stop. You will feel like you are definitely going to die and that the dying will last forever.

    I am going to tell you now that it will not last forever, you will not die, you will be okay, it will go away.

    Also moderation is your friend. I know that the trope is that nobody can ruin their life with weed but you absolutely can. Nothing wrong with using it to relax or enjoy yourself now and again but the majority of the people I know that do it daily have major issues as a result.

    Yeah, so don't get high more than once a month. That's what someone told me.

    And don't use it too much beyond that.

    When I get heavy into weed, it's like 3-5 times a week. Mostly just don't do to many full day trips and you should be fine. If you feel lethargic the day after then maybe ease up a bit.

    Basically listen to your body and don't treat it like a crutch from like a bad day or whatever and you should be fine.

    I got a friend who basically smoked 3-4 times a day for like 15 years and he's a bit fried.

    I think it's different for everyone, moderate yourself however you're comfortable moderating. I think most months I have a few small puffs of my vape pen a few days a month, and then one big edible evening once ish a month, and that works really well for me. Some people do less, some people do more. I just think that folks who smoke all day every day are probably not in as healthy as a place as they claim to be, and my evidence for that is basically their entire life. I also don't necessarily blame them though we all have to do what we have to do to cope in capitalism and for some folks the way they need to cope is to be constantly slightly high. I just don't think that's something to aspire to.

    I love that liberal weed propaganda is going strong even in the hexbear comments.

    It's chill and can even be really fun the first few times, nothing quite like laughing uncontrollably. Just don't do it too much.

    Personally I love indica which I think puts me in a minority but I love the feeling of being couch locked. It's so relaxing.

    Do mushrooms next, they're amazing. But you've gotta be somewhere safe with friends and in a good head space

    The couple times I've done indica there was immediately after some unforeseen emergency I had to attend to with people yelling at me, so they're mentally tied to being very frustrated and angry for me now yea

    Somehow the universe knows exactly when I'm in a vulnerable state and chooses that moment to strike.

    Music was amazing though. I got into a couple new genres that day
