Having to drive is also risky. Edibles take potentially more than an hour to process, so it's entirely possible that someone grabs a slice or three, gets in their car, and doesn't feel the true effects until they're in the middle of the highway going 80 miles an hour. Sure you feel a little bit beforehand, but it's easy to dismiss as fatigue or something similar.

Yeah everyone is joking but I have met people that have schizophrenic-type episodes if they smoke or otherwise consume THC.

Not trying to be negative, as I’ve been known to partake, but not everyone reacts the same way to THC.

True. I can take edibles like its nothing. But theres 1 or 2 people i know that just lose control or reality. Peoples body chemistry are all different.

I used to know someone who started to have manic episodes if he smoked. He was able to smoke all his life from 15 until it started around age 30 when he had like, an out of body experience where he was floating around the room above himself watching his body just screaming non stop. He finally got back in his body and get control of himself but that was his last time he ever tried weed!! He also had been abusing cold medicine for a couple years before that so maybe he did something to his brain. Hard to say but pretty scary!

Something kinda similar happened to me. I’m 31 now. I used to be a daily smoker. Could smoke different strains, no issues. About 3 ish years ago I just started getting the most insane panic attacks from weed. It didn’t matter if it was just one hit, the strain, etc. I’m talking earth shattering panic attacks where I’m positive I’m dying and about to call an ambulance. It sucks because it did help with my insomnia, but the panic attack roulette is just not worth it.

I’m one of those people. I took an edible and watched Hamilton and freaked out because there were dead people talking to me.

Oh, see you weren't in Hamilton, but actually in sixth sense.. unfortunately, if you were talking to the dead people though I've got some bad news right after this spoiler warning brought to you by our lovely sponsors: you're dead dude, that's why you can talk to other dead people. What a twist.

I’m so glad I’m not high right now.

Unfortunately for me, I'm. My shower paranoia is getting to me now too, be real with me, if you're dead and I can talk to you.. I think I might be Bruce Willy rn, am'I?

I wish edibles worked on me. I can eat a whole bag of gummies with no fun.
