I appreciate that I grew up in what I think was a much simpler time.
Additionally, you can absolutely get lower dose edibles. Reputable companies will recommend you start low and slow. By dividing up a gummy and waiting at least 2-3 hours before taking a second dose. Anyone that's telling people not to split isnt a well made gummy.
I am glad I don't have the kind of pain that would lead me to consider it right now, and my heart goes out to those who do have that kind of pain.
Lyrica is the med my brother took that gave him hallucinations. My sister in law told me it was awful,
I do have some pain every day, and while I wish it wasn't so, I've learned to live with it. It gets severe at times while other times it's just the regular consistency of it that becomes tiring. Especially when i don't get good sleep. I'm lucky to get more than an hour at a time before I have to get up from laying or sitting down to move around some.
Did he really have hallucinations? I always describe it as what I think that a bad LSD trip would be like. It is awful but it does work for the pain. I wouldn't take it unless your pain was a 10. Anything less and Lyrica is worse.
That's awful. Lasix makes me get up every hour but I can always stop it. I feel really bad for you. My insomnia is weird. I almost get to sleep and then I have these horrible hallucinations and then I can't get to sleep for the rest of the night. I think that it's from the fentanyl they gave me when I broke my hip. I broke my hip as bad as you can break it. They gave me fentanyl and I had a very bad trip. One hallucination was that I was standing up peeing all over the walls. Another hallucination is that I opened the window and was walking on air (I was on the top floor of a tall building). I believed the hallucinations to be real even though they were impossible. There was no distinction between being awake and a dream. I still believe that they are real to this day. Fentanyl is evil. Btw I've never told anybody about this. It's too personal and too traumatic.
I agree that pot reduces your self control. I would probably hesitate to casually smoke pot in a social setting like I once did, due to the other things they mix in these days.

Do they still do that? Angel dust was a big fear. I took a hit of that once due to a joint being passed around that I thought was just pot. I can't tell you how pissed off I was. I smoked some pot laced with opium once. If you think that hash makes your chest expand, it's nothing compared to opium. You can lay on the ground and not move for a day and be perfectly content when you're on opium. It was another thing that I didn't know I was smoking but I wasn't upset about it like I was with angel dust. I was with friends and since I had already taken a hit I figured that I might as well enjoy myself. It was a one-time experience. I had no desire to ever smoke it again.

Anyone considering this should do their own research and start very low and very slow. Also look at the differences between hemp based and MJ based.

Edibles wont hit you quickly, anyone that has researched them should know this. I'd rarely consider taking a prescribed medicine that I havent researched, let alone something that wasnt dispensed by a professional. If you took other medicines at higher than prescribed rates you also might have undesired reactions so it isnt surprising that they didnt like the results after overmedicating.

What's sad is at least one of the people who I know took more because it wasn't hitting fast enough is normally smarter than that, and I thought she knew better. But then, reading responses to her posts shows it happens all too much. Or maybe in her case, other friends of hers were trying to help her downplay her mistake.
