gummy

  Wife tried a 20mg weed gummy at a concert and was completely knocked on her ass. I went to a bachelor party and mindlessly chomped through a bar of brownies that had, like, six doses in it. These indie producers turn delicious pieces of candy into maximum strength pharmaceuticals. I’ve got a million other stories from friends and neighbors who had similar experiences.

  Nevermind the children, I don’t think adults are capable of just taking this shit recreationally without some kind of supervision. Incidentally, that goes for alcohol and nicotine, too.

    At one point I did an improvised extraction of THC into olive oil. I significantly underestimated what 0.5g of weed contains when the majority is not wasted by burning it.

      I guess i should try that again… ive done butter and coconut oil extractions, neither did shit for me.

      But then again I’ve only had potent weed gummies work for me one time ever, and that was 100mg, a dose that is both expensive and no longer does the job. I take 5mg for sleep sometimes and that works but I dont get anything fun out of any of it. I keep hearing stories of people being knocked on their ass and I want that!

    Exactly why this shit is age restricted. Hopefully by 21 you have any sense of critical thinking and self preservation and know that drugs and alcohol should be taken in moderation. If you dont know what moderation is, ask some one, or google it. Or start slow and figure out what your line is.

    Be a grown up.

      Libertarian-ass response. “If you get yourselves fucked up using our product, you simply should have known better”.

    Surely you could have googled to see a starter dose is 5-10mg.

    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You’re absolutely right to push back on this. 20mg was not the recommended dose, after all. Google is an excellent source of reliable information and it’s always best to consult with a search engine any time you’re researching recreational drug use.

      For people who dont smoke, 5-10mg of edibles is still a really bad time. I’m constantly having to remind my smoker friends of this when they’re advising first timers.

    Trying any drugs at random at a concert without someone who’s real about dose and expectations is kind of…well, a bad idea in general.

    Those 20mg gummies tend to state each gummy is 2-4 servings, at least mine do. It’s why the previous source I bought from sold her Delta-8 gummies dosed to 5mg each to make it far easier to nail an exact dose.

    But, I also see absurd 600mg mixed THC (10% D-9, 90% D-8) ones that say “start by taking (quarter|half) of a gummy and wait several hours before trying any more” and like… that’s irresponsible as hell to phrase, but I think the expectation is – given them labeled “maximum strength” – is that you know what you’re good for before digging into those.

    I don’t know what the happy medium here is on labeling and access, as I agree on the Everclear thing, but you do have to go into a store for that at least. And, to be fair, Everclear tastes like such ass even mixed with anything it has to be diluted down to like, wine strength to be drinkable generally from what I’ve seen, or at least cocktail strength.

      How on earth is this an argument in favor of weed-gummy vending machines?

      you know what you’re good for before digging into those

      That’s an absurd expectation.

      I don’t know what the happy medium here is on labeling and access

      I mean, just for absolute starters, I think giving THC the same regulatory treatment as alcohol and cigarettes makes sense. Even past that, regulatory limits on per-unit dosage and warning labels on packages that aren’t 2-pt-font and maybe even a nurse or pharmacist on hand at point of distribution to give you someone with more experience to talk to would be a vast improvement.

      Everclear tastes like such ass even mixed with anything it has to be diluted down to like, wine strength to be drinkable generally from what I’ve seen, or at least cocktail strength.

      One experience I had in college that stuck with me was that, as someone gets drunker, their ability to self-regulate alcohol intake disintegrates. This is to the point that some of my friends who are 100 lbs skinnier than me were going shot for shot by the end of the night. And that always ended in disaster.

      The fact that Everclear tastes like ass doesn’t dissuade someone who is already 3+ drinks in. Especially if they’re just pounding them.

    And here I gave up on edibles after eating way more than recommended and not getting the slightest buzz, I’ll stick to flower and hash

      I only started trying weed in my late 30’s and vaping/smoking it just does not appeal at all, so edibles it is.

      I have tried a few different kinds now from different vendors and I can tell you that there’s a lot of variance out there. I’m was hoping I’d be able to dial in my “ideal” dose but 20mg from one vendor will absolutely send me while 20mg from another does precisely fuck all.

      I know if you smoke/vape it you can dial in your ideal much more carefully but 🤢

      In my experience smoking vastly increases your tolerance for edibles. If you only eat edibles then you need much less to be effective.

  To answer the question: fuck them kids.

  Anyone willing to restrict an adult’s access to vices in order to “protect children” is an evil piece of shit who shouldn’t be trusted around children or adults.

  • Test_Tickles@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Actually, “fuck them kids” seems to be the answer to why they do most things these days.

    Y’all remember the good ole days when all we had to deal with was the constant terror of some deranged lunatic starting a nuclear war and killing us all?

    Just tried a vodka soda released in freezie flavors. Red, orange, blue, and white. They taste exactly like freezies, but have a couple in a row and you will realize the difference.

    I’m surprised no pearl clutchers have started yelling yet

      Give them time. They’re too busy harassing trans kids and trying to re-criminalize cannabis to notice right now.

      I don’t find it too surprising really. Alcohol is over on the “good” side of the list (despite having a godawful safety profile.)

    I used to buy cigarettes out of a vending machine, as a child.

    source
  • PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I mean, just no. Flavored cigarettes were outlawed for this exact reason, and flavored Vapes probably should be too. They’re marketed directly towards teenagers in an effort to get young adults hooked on them for the rest of their lives. How hard is that to understand?

    source

    • Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      If you’re talking about the US the flavored cigarettes were outlawed as a backdoor for banning foreign tobacco producers competing with domestic ones, had fuck all to do with protecting children.

  germany still to this day has cigarette vending machines. i saw one in a restaurant next to a retirement/care home.

    The U.S. does too, in run down bars across rural towns

    You need to verify your age with those though since 20 years ago or something like that

      Used to love pulling on the plungers like they were pinball machines. Really wanted to smoke too.

      I’d grow up, try cigarettes, and fortunately the nicotine high was not for me. Harder drugs only.

• X@piefed.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  While I’m sure child vending machines could be done despite the slew of ethical problems they’d inevitably create, I’m pretty sure that’s a job better left to mothers. They’ve had that whole process down pat for at least a decade or two; I don’t see much point in reinventing the wheel.

  • Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I have seen vending machines for beer that you have to swipe your passport/ID on so that it verifies your age. So ething sinilar could be done

    • Sc00ter@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Any smoke/beer vending machine ive seen has always been in an establishment you need to be 21 to enter (bars/clubs) and they check ID at the door

  Unfortunately weed is not safe for developing brains, I recommend abstaining from it until the age of 24 at the earliest if you want to be able to perform memory tests well.
