Worst Experience of My Life

I have smoked marijuana many times since I was 15 years old, and have never been able to get high. Based on my tolerance to prescription medications, alcohol, etc. I determined I just had a very high tolerance for things. I don't enjoy smoking but I have heard weed can help with migraines and I was interested in trying some edibles to see if it could help the pain.

I obtained a 100mg weed brownie and having never used edibles before asked an acquaintance, who I thought knew more about weed than he does, how much of it I should eat. He knows my usual high tolerance for things and told me to eat all of it.

This was a very bad thing to do. I had a normal day, ate a regular meal for dinner, and about 2 hours later at 10:30pm ate the 100mg brownie. I felt nothing until 11:30pm.

11:30pm: I suddenly started feeling strange. I was slightly dizzy, I felt like 10 minutes had passed in the span of 30 seconds, and I had some trouble concentrating. I wasn't worried and was just getting a grasp on feeling weird.

11:40pm: I lost all sense of time. Two minutes would pass in between a conversation I had with my husband and I thought it had happened 30 minutes ago. My concentration was worsening and I was beginning to feel dizzier and starting to get hot.

11:50pm: I started feeling nauseous and like I couldn't stand on my own two feet very well. I decided to lay down and thought the feeling would pass.

11:55pm: This is when it seemed like the floodgates opened. Everything spiraled out of control. I sat up and suddenly had to vomit. I was very hot and starting to sweat. Dizziness was out of control and I couldn't look at anything for more than a second. My eyes were very sensitive and my concentration was completely gone. I felt as if I wasn't in my own body, that is until I needed to retch again.

12:00am - 2:00am: This was the peak of my experience and the worst I have felt in my entire life. I was passing out intermittently between vomiting and crying. My entire body was numb and I couldn't move from my position on the floor, hovering over a trash can. I felt like I couldn't even concentrate enough to breathe. I was worried I would stop breathing and not be able to help it. I wasn't having any hallucinations or paranoid thoughts other than the ones related to the way I was feeling. I couldn't open my eyes to look at anything and it was an extreme chore to put together a sentence. I vomited more than I even thought was possible, and the retching was so strong I thought my head was going to explode.

2:00am: I was finally able to sleep around this time. I stopped throwing up and I was somewhat less dizzy. It started getting easier to control my breathing and instead of being hot I was suddenly freezing. I still could not move from where I was sitting.

6:00am: I awoke to see the sun starting to come up behind the blinds and found that I was still on the floor. I was able to open my eyes finally and look around the room without it spinning out of control. I could concentrate again and could feel my body enough to move. I had an excruciating headache but was able to crawl into bed.

I felt hungover and the headache lingered well into that evening. I didn't feel like I was totally starting to recover until about 24 hours after I initially ingested the THC brownie. For the next two days afterward my entire body was sore and it even hurt to cough.

I have given birth twice, the first time being all natural and pain med free and this brownie eating experience trumps that as the most horrifying thing I've ever experienced.
