So I’ve been smoking weed every day 24/7 for the last 10 years. Last year I decided that it’s really ruining my life. I can’t eat anymore without it and I’ve isolated myself from the outside world. So I quit.

About 6 months after I quit I get a craving for it and my brother brings me home edibles. They’re gummies and each one has 100mg. Before I take them my brother tells me to be careful, that these are pretty potent and to only take 1. Of course, thinking that my tolerance was too high, I took 3.

BIG mistake. After 30 minutes I start to get shaky and I’m getting shortness of breath. Also, once this happens I start to get anxiety. I start thinking maybe I took too much and I should try throwing them up. But I figured it was too late for that. When the hour mark hit my heart started beating so fast, I could feel it beating out of my chest. It felt like my heart was going to explode. When this happens I go to my brothers room and I start having a panic attack. I’m struggling to breathe, my heart is pounding, and I’m panicking. My brother feels my heart and he assures me that it’s not beating that fast. I keep asking him if we should call 911 and that I think I’m going to die. Later I'm glad we didn’t call. But at the moment, I'm still having a panic attack and I try to make myself throw up.

It doesn’t work, I’m dry heaving. I go back to my room and I try to go to sleep and it doesn’t work because I’m paranoid. I keep searching ways to get unhigh fast. I see an answer that says that cold showers may help so I take a cold shower and it doesn’t help my heart but I can lay down and I feel myself falling asleep. I end up falling asleep at like 10pm and I wake up at 6am still high but the panicky feeling has subsided. I think I greened out.

This has genuinely scared me from ever trying edibles again. If someone tells you to take a certain amount maybe don’t exceed that amount because they prob know what they are talking about.
