So my wife decided to order us some gummies a few weeks ago. We're both first-timers (to cannabis in general) and we wanted to dip our toes in. What she got was VIIA Microdose Cloud9 (2mg THC 25mg CBD). This came recommended by a friend who's more experienced with this sort of thing.

We each took one before bed one Saturday night while the kids were out of the house. After a while I started to feel a little ... floaty? Just sort of a calm. Wifey decided to take a second (which I didn't remember her taking at the time; she only recently told me she took the second one). I didn't feel much more than that initial calmness, and eventually fell asleep.

The next morning we both awoke VERY late, sleeping almost past noon, which is very unlike me and don't like doing. I also awoke with a major case of the stupids. For the majority of the day, I couldn't think straight, or even really function. I just kinda spent the day sitting around. Late in the day the feeling did start to wear off and I was able to remember to eat and get some dishes done, etc.

I would compare it to the feeling I'd get when I used to take NyQuil or DayQuil for colds... like a REALLY doped up feeling, so for years I've taken almost no over-the-counter meds for that reason.

Wifey seemed fine. Very much like her normal self.

I think eventually I may try another one if I ever feel stressed or something and feel the need to relax, but I wonder if I'm simply not built to handle this stuff. Or maybe something different would be better for me.

Now you're doing the same thing, but it's a different counter!
:D

Maybe half a gummy, and that's it! :D

Gummies might be a bit extreme for first time cannabis users... its a great platform to be on, but - hope you had a nice first trip!! :P I love gummies and usually take 3; how'd that work out for ya'll????

It'll be ok; edibles are a bit more... elongated?? Take less than you think you need, and try again next time. You'll find the balance. I haven't taken edibles in some time - my suboxone Dr. stupidly thinks worse of marijuana than alchohol, so I've been in THAT whirlwind...

But you're on the right track IMO.

Codefenix likes pot!?!?? WTF.

:P

You're seeing the same thing I did when I very first smoked it. For one thing, don't get high just before sleeping because you will sleep hard and will not want to wake up. And yeah, that having the stupids thing is like the hangover for pot. The cure is hair of the dog :).

Unlike what the others said, it seems like you got a fine dosage.. just do it in a different setting, maybe. There are things to remember, though. Like, paranoia is completely normal (every living thing in the universe has that). Edibles are unpredictable in how long they take to "kick in", at least for me. Also, don't get high after drinking. You won't have a good time. I find that once already at peak high, a drink might be ok if desired. Again, just my experience.

Never really was into the eadibles. While when You smoke You get high quite fast and quite fast then You are stoned for several hours.

With edibles I did not have clear outcomes. It can have delay. I can last longer than expected, it can do nothing.

For me in contrast to vaping edibles are much less unpredictable both in
effect and time lasting.

Have a good day

... I have a really good memory, except it's short.

Heh.. just dabbing, my dude. :)

So just wanted to post a quick follow-up. First, thanks to all who replied with their advice. It was helpful. Seems my biggest rookie mistake was letting myself fall asleep so quickly after taking something new for the first time. So last weekend the missus and I each took a couple earlier in the evening while hanging out and watching TV. She was putzing around on her phone and I was playing on my Analogue Pocket. After a while I didn't really feel much... and then I stood up to get some snacks and beverages, and I immediately noticed a new... sensation. Like, my arms and legs felt kinda... rubber-bandy. Very relaxed feeling. Just nice and mellow. Exactly the type of thing I was wanting. I didn't "see" stuff or get really high or anything; it was just a real wave or relaxation that suddenly hit me. She felt the same. We stayed up and watched all of SNL like we usually do, and then went to bed after the sensation wore off. It was a pleasant evening. The next morning I woke up feeling fine. No "stupids" like the last time.

Thanks again for the good advice, all! I hope my silly posts offer some insight to some other first-timers some day.
