TL;DR:TIFU when I had the amazing idea to try gummies with my girlfriend. We were on a nice date getting some sushi and had a decent wait time at the restaurant. We went outside and I happened to notice a vape shot next door. I then had the amazing idea to pick up some gummies for the two of us. Mind you, my girlfriend has never tried weed, and she never will again after what came later.
Anyway, the guy working at the vape shop recommended a couple of options for us, a red flag I should have paid attention to, and one of the options was a big bag that said "850 mg" on it. I haven't had any gummies in years and I thought to myself, "That's not too crazy but we don't need that many". So I did some math, thinking it was 850mg for the full bag, and purchased two gummies.
We had a nice dinner, got home, and decided it was time pop these gummies in and just relax. Except we didn't... I was fine but I look over at my girlfriend and she was clearly panicking. It was at this moment that I tried to move to help her and I couldn't talk. What I didn't know is that we were both greening out... bad.
Time started feeling unstable and we were both hyperventilating. I then started hallucinating that I was drowning and when I finally "surfaced" I woke up and threw up on myself. We both then crawled out of bed and started crawling toward the bathroom. I finally forced out the words "cold" and "water" and she nodded that she understood. We got to the bathroom and I threw up again as I was undressing to get in the shower.
We both then got in the cold shower and laid on the floor. We were both in and out of consciousness for what felt like forever and I thought we were going to die. There were several moment where I'd feel my girlfriend shake me awake b/c I would just stop breathing. Eventually we started fading out of it and looked at clock, and to our surprise we had been in the shower for 11 hours! We both felt sick and just wanted to go lie down but the room was still spinning.
A little bit of rest and we're both fine but you best believe that I called the vape shop. Here comes the best part, the shop owner answered, I told her what happened, and she said, "omg those did the same thing to me!".... Suffice to say we will not be returning to this vape shop and we will not be trying gummies again any time soon.
Quick addition: To be clear I DID NOT intend to give my girlfriend an 850 mg gummy for her first time. I didn't want to take that much either. I thought the full bag was 850mg so one would be a much, much lower amount. I asked the guy if just one of these would be okay for someone's first time and he said "yes". I know now that I shouldn't have trusted it.
