So I finally took a serious dose and I definitely felt something but what I felt was absolutely bad. I basically felt like a truck hit me and absolutely couldn't sleep. I have always experienced panic different than other people and usually it feels like I have the flu. This is exactly what this felt like. My heart rate went up.. and I had a night of fitful sleeping. I am just going to have to stop for the moment. So far I am having zero good effects. Only bad. Everyone talks about the "high" but I truly don't seem to be experiencing that. So far if I have had any effects it just feels like headaches and trouble sleeping.

I decided today to take the dose during the day. I think it does make a difference. When you are in bed or sleeping there are a lot of symptoms that might not be noticed. For instance today I have feelings like being dizzy when I moved my head (something you don't do in bed) and I definitely had like the shakes and inability to do things like type. I also got very cold. Something I might not notice under the warm comforter. All of that being said I am just very surprised at the way edibles make me feel -- mostly like I am sick and have a fever.

I continue to really really struggle with this.
I have been taking an edible dose every night at bed time. I *thought* I was getting used to it... and working my way up. But the other night I took a dose (the exact dose I had taken 4 nights before) and it had a strange reaction. It didn't help that it was bad weather and I was awakened by a hard bang when my storm door was blown open by the wind. But I got back to my bedroom and I had severe anxiety. I could not sleep for 4 more hours and I felt just horrific. Shakey etc. I can't tell if there was a dosing issue with the edible or if it is a situation that if you fire up your nerves on pot you can't fire them down easy. So I purchased a vape pen and cartridge. I don't know what I am doing with this and I find it hard to find directions (the pen didn't come with directions) but I took one draw off it (in error -- I was just trying to see if it worked) and I can't really tell that anything happened at all. I feel like everything I do... takes time to really get good at it..but I have been doing this for over a month. Maybe some people just aren't cut out for drugs. Is that possible? I mean in my normal life almost 99% of prescription drugs that I take do not agree with me. |

Medical mj just happened in my state. Are cream and edible the only forms they have?

I have "vape" but when I got my vape pen the charger was broken. Though I got some charge I have seen a few people say you need to charge it for two hours or longer to get it up to the proper heat. Wednesday I am heading back to the dispensary and I will try a tincture. Which is like a drop you put under your tongue. I am scared that in the end I will have to smoke it to see any results. The only thing i will say is that I do feel when I take the edible I do feel like I sleep better. But I can't tell if it is that or sugar (which helps me sleep). |

What works best for me is smoking it,either a joint or a bowl.The stuff is so potent though that I start out with one good hit and give it time to see how it's going to affect me then smoke a little more if needed,
I prefer smoking over any other form because it makes me feel I'm more in control of how much I use.I don't like vaping because I can't really tell how much I'm getting,I don't care for edibles because it's not an enjoyable high for me. Why are you scared of smoking it? Maybe try getting a small bowl,put a small amount in it,take a good hit off of it and see how it does? |

I am qualified to get medical mj in my state but it costs a lot to see a doctor and get the card and everything plus there is not a dispensary that is close to me as of yet. I'm waiting for one to open in my area. I hope you get some good results. __________________ One way to get the best out of life is to think of it as an adventure.

Thanks. I went to the dispensary and they got me a new cartridge.. it was expensive. But it just didn't work. I mean on the one hand I didn't feel anything, and I took 7 hits. But on the other, I felt like a truck hit me the next day. I do get this "hangover" when I over indulge. So I happen to think that is it. But I didn't feel anything at all different.
I am about to give up. I will say I have been eating like a pig since January and I got on the scale today and only gained 2 lbs. I can't tell but it is at least a sign that maybe this does have a slight effect on weight control. |

My take
I used to smoke all the time as a teenager. Get high, hang out, grab some munchies, go to bed. Now I want nothing to do with it and I'm only 36. By the time I was probably 26 I was having issues with it. And not just smoke. Edibles too. Brownies, cookies, candy. For me it comes with paranoia, upset stomach, restlessness, a kind of underwhelming anxiety if that makes any sense.. I have anxiety and pot does not relieve this for me at all. I live in Maine and medical has been around for a while, recreational is legal now and CBD is everywhere. I'm very interested in that because it doesn't have the psychological effects and I could use some pain and anxiety relief. Expensive tho.. __________________ Im not crazy, my reality is just different than yours. |

I noticed that no one else (neighbors ) seemed to be up. I literally live out in the middle of no place. Right next to a large conservation land which backs up on a farm. What could it possibly be? I thought. I took my pot at 8 PM and this noise seemed to back down around 3 AM. So today I asked a few neighbors -- no one heard it. I couldn't sleep WITH A LOUD FAN ON, and they couldn't hear it? So I looked up Auditory hallucinations and sure enough this can be a side effect of Marijuana. We will see if tonight I hear the same thing but man -- this is now like the 4th or 5th sleepless night since December because of either anxiety or something related to Marijuana. Just not worth it. |
