I just wanted to relax. But instead, I begin to experience extremely unpleasant sensations. First is the pins and needles sensation, it’s everywhere, starts in the back of my throat and then travels all over my body. It sucks! Then I expect that the next part is from being far too high, despite only a few drags or the recommended dose of the edible. I think it’s paranoia but I start to believe that I lived someone else’s life (whomever is in the room talking to me) before this one and I know what they’re about to say because I have said it. Or that I’m the center of the universe and so on. As if that’s not bad enough, it becomes impossible for me to understand time, 5 minutes feels like an hour or more, and then it’s just me reassuring myself or getting someone to talk me down until I can function. It’s stressful as fuck and very disorienting. I don’t know if I want to risk that again but I was really hoping for a fun little escape from reality and chronic pain and depression. Maybe even a few giggles as I watch cartoons or whatever, something more fun than this! I am at a point where I think that this just isn’t for me.

    Less THC, more CBD. the ratio is important. Lots of trees today are all about “more THC!!”, and yeah that’s fine for some people I guess. But for me, if the ratio is off, I’ll panic.

      @surewhynotlem yeah this! Too much THC and too little CBD is probably what’s causing these unpleasant experiences. OP if your goal is just to relax, I’d recommend CBD dominant strains/gummies, or get less potent stuff. THC and CBD are inversely related, and “less potent” typically refers to THC content, not CBD content.
