Comment on Big Marijuana don't want you to know...

It makes me so sick, I’m on the verge of puking. The. Entire. Time. 4-6 hours of being nauseous. It sucks, and I’m pissed about it.
I didn’t get it from mom; she was a pot smoker back in the day, and my sister is fine with it, so I guess I just got unlucky.

I’ve only ever felt my head spinning once on weed and it was my first time when I took 30 mg of edibles and had a full blown episode of thinking I time looped 6 times in a row while looking in the mirror (honestly, a really bad experience).
Note that I now know that my appropriate dosage is 5-10 mg and 10 mg is a solid high while 5 mg is just a pleasant buzz (akin to taking a few glasses of alcohol, but not being drunk). You might be taking too much for your body and inhaling isn’t exactly super accurate dosage. Not everyone has the same tolerance. My mother can tolerate 25 mg; if I were to take that much I’d bad trip like the first time on that 30 mg gummy. I’d take a very low dose if I was you, like 2 mg edibles as a start, that way you know what dose you’re taking.

I’m in a state where it’s legal, and I’ve been experimenting since the late 80’s. I’ve had a wide variety of doses of pot.
If it’s enough for me to notice more than a little fuzzy-headed, I get sick. Yes, there’s a threshold below which I don’t get sick, but I also don’t get a buzz.

Seems weird that you go from no buzz, to straight sick if the dose is only a few mgs apart, maybe it’s just that you haven’t found a strain that your body reacts well to. With my prescribed ADHD meds, which are amphetamines and dexotroamphetamines (powerful psychoactives, way stronger and dangerous compared to weed), there is a difference of about 10mg where my tolerance is in the perfect zone for no side effects, before full side effects (and that’s with the brand I tolerate).
I had to go through 5 different ADHD meds to get the perfect one my body didn’t reject and then I went through 3 dosage adjustments of the last med to finally get the perfect prescription that wouldn’t make me sick (ADHD meds make you sick differently, it’s mostly nausea, headaches and gastro issues that can be quite severe). It seems to me like you haven’t found the perfect “prescription” of weed for yourself. Not that you even have to try to if you don’t need weed for medical reasons anyway, but that’s just what it seems like to me.
Psychoactive drugs tend to be hard to prescribe to people that have low tolerances (such as myself). I was able to find my perfect weed dosage and strain before I was able to find the proper ADHD ones (since I had to go see the doc repeatedly for ADHD drugs over the course of 4 years of testing, whereas weed was recreational already, so all I had to do was order some and test over a few months myself, no doctor visit needed).
Hopefully you get a good dosage if you’re trying to find it for medical reasons.

Yeah, I think I’m just cursed that the first noticeable effect is nausea. From what I’ve read, it’s not entirely uncommon.
