Yeah, in the future, we recommend 2 hours before you consider taking another one. We've found that depending upon a variety of factors including how recently you've eaten, it can take anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes for the dose to hit you.

You definitely don't want to be high in public until you're a bit more comfortable with it, as it can be a very disorienting experience, as you found out.

Best advice I've gotten about edibles was "If you don't feel it in 2 hours, that's that. Try another day." .

Don't take more.

Yeah. There's some room to play with that once you have some experience with that specific edible, but with anything that you haven't already used enough before to understand its characteristics, you really need to dedicate 8-12 hours to each dose attempt to be safe.

There's a specific gummy that we use regularly that we'll take 15mg, then once we feel it hit a specific point in the high (usually 3-4 hours in) , take another 5mg so as to keep a certain level of high going for significantly longer. But that kind of thing requires understanding how that edible affects your body.

my room mate is a hard core pothead. first thing i hear in the morning is her tapping her bowl out on her nightstand and/or end table to pack a new one. we drive to work and she hits her one-hitter four or five times. i honestly do not know the last time i saw her completely sober...

short story, long... she made a recent trip to a recreationally legal state and made a stop at a dispensary for some edibles. on the way home she stops at her pothead sisters place and they make a couple of trades, one of which was for an Almond Weed candy bar. think almond joy, two little coconut/almond/chocolate concoction.

she gets home, smokes some more, and then eats one of the two AW bars in the package.

two hours later she is FUCKED up. i've never seen her this high. she can barely walk.

i pick up the AW package. it lists the total THC content as 300mg...

she took 150mg, while also occasionally hitting her bowl. her bites of the remaining bar were much smaller.

Definitely! See if you can find some 2.5mg gummies (they do exist), and try taking, one night at a time, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, and 12.5mg on a full stomach. You might not feel the 5mg or 7.5mg, but you should definitely feel the others, and can use that to gauge future doses.
