the weirdest thing just happened to me EDIBLE OVERDOSE?

[thesoloman]

I woke up at 9:47pm looked at my phone, then proceded to go downstairs to get water or food, as im standing by my kitchen sink, i start feeling a blackout feeling, stupid me doesn't sit down.. i thought to myself i can make it thru this, usually i only have my vision go dark(from past head injures) well this time i full on blacked out and fell on the floor, i woke up a short amount of time later maybe a min or too, and stumbled over to the living room where my mom was sleeping, and woke her up saying "i think i just passed out and fell over". as i was saying this i passed out again and fell into the tv stand. so I've hit my head twice and am now lying on the floor. At about 5oclock i had 4 cookies that i had made with some canna-butter lying around. I didn't think much of it at the time.
Sorry for the bad grammer, as ive recently had 3 head injures
Anyone ever had any experiences like mine?????

Edibles can be very tricky to dose correctly. Was your stomach empty when you ate the cookies? I've had dizzy spells from edibles, low blood sugar, and a drop in blood pressure (Vasovagal Syncope). Four cookies does seem a bit much, is that how much you usually eat?

Glad to hear you are okay although you may want consult your doctor due to your previous head injuries.

The only time I have had an experience like that was smoking through a waterfall bong and I think it was from lack of oxygen. I passed out twice, hit my head and chipped my tooth. It was pretty scary. I also had an experience like that with vaping but that was stupid me because I was holding my hit too long

Sounds pretty scary though man. Hope you never have to go through that again

 

[thesoloman]

Yes they can be tricky hah, and i had not much food today, just half a small pizza.
4 isn't that many too me... or at-least i didn't think it was a problem at the time.
But I am thinking about getting myself a helmet hah
That sasvagal syncope, on wikipedia, described exactly what i felt.
Edit: I hope i don't have to go thru this again either.

 

[SD_haze]

Definitely not that uncommon.

edibles-and-passing-out
^^^ To add to my story I posted in this thread, the 2nd time I blacked out from weed it was also with an edible and also standing in the kitchen!

I've been incredibly lucky. I would faint straight from standing up, on hard concrete or tile, and somehow not hit my head. My body would collapse but 3rd-party observers said my neck like gently lowered my head down...

My biggest green-outs have been from edibles. A few from too much ABV edible, even. Incredibly empty, sedating, weird waves, feeling like I'm about to pass out, etc. Cannabis has something of an effect on blood pressure, which might play a part in the whole "I got high and then felt like passing out" line. A few times I've finished a sesh and felt a little bit like what you're describing, but edibles done "wrong" for me just fuck me up. Some people even puke, which is funny considering the antiemetic effects cannabis is known to have.

 

[thesoloman]

Well i made i thru the night so thats good. (: no ill effects except a two sore bumps on my head, but i'll survive. Im definitely probably staying away from mmj for a bit though, after almost 4 years of daily use, this should be interesting

Ah, please don't be turned off by this experience! What happened is simply your body getting a fair bit more than you're used to! The first/maybe second? time I green'd was from some edibles too... put me off for about... well, less than a week for sure. You mentioned you ate four cookies from some cannabutter you had, did you do a test-dose first? With edibles it's a lot harder to titrate your dosing; that is, you aren't really afforded the luxury of "take a few rips, set it down, give it 20 minutes and see what happens" due to how long it takes to absorb. Now I always make sure to to a 3/4-1 serving test dose to gauge potency.

I mean, I'm not trying to pull you back/peer pressure you or whatever, if you're gonna hop off you're gonna do it regardless, ya know? Sorry you had a rough time, mate. Unlike some of the girls I know... Mary Jane won't cheat on ya and she'll always be waiting for you

Best of luck, and if you're feeling some headaches or something, make sure to get it checked out!! No sense in trying to tough it out and ending up worse. Hope to see you at least lurking around a bit

I have experimented with this batch of butter plenty, made some pennuet butter cups, and then just been eating strait butter on english muffins, decided to finish of the last 1/2 cup into some cookies. Overall ive had a ton of eddible experences before this, i've eaten some dank food before so i thought nothing of eating 4 cookies.
On a different note a few days before i made the cookies, i left the butter out for about 3 hours, then proceded to find it later once it is soft, i thought nothing of it and threw it back into the freezer, any thoughts on how this might effect it?
And to think all this could have been avoided had i stayed in bed and not tried to get a drink of water!

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I doubt it did anything to it, just thawed while you left it out. Did you eat anything a few hours before? Edibles on an empty stomach are going to absorb quicker and hit harder than eating a brownie for dessert after a nice meal.

 

[Elluzion]

Also just know that how you "jump" out of bed could have an effect on your blood pressure. Like a standing up too fast kind of a thing. It happens to me all the time so I usually try to ease my self up and take slow deep breaths.

If you ever feel yourself slipping or falling into an experience like this again take slow deep breaths into your diaphragm and stomach. Most people breathe through their upper lung areas and don't fill with nearly as much oxygen as we should. As a society we have forgotten to breathe through stress and lack of awareness of the control we have over our own bodies.

I wouldn't quit canabbis completely if you have been using for 4 years straight, but of course a little t-break wouldn't hurt anyone ... maybe just stick to vaping sessions as edibles can be more of a shot in the dark..

*Also, if you make edibles again, try a more natural oil such as coconut. Butter is known for causing the clogging of arteries, increasing blood pressure, and triglycerides in the body. Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid and is directly absorbed as energy and can prevent all sorts of diseases

 

[thesoloman]

umm i had a little bit of food, less than half a pizza, about 3 hours prior to my cookies.

Sometimes if I really hit it hard, I can find myself phasing out of reality...I know that sounds weird, but I am pretty sure it's a lighter form of fainting in some strange way.

Hope you are ok, bro.

Thanks Tweek! im pretty sure im all good, just a few bumps on my head, but nothing major besides that, im sure the swelling will go down and ill be totally back to new in no time at all
now i just need one of these and ill be all good!

I have some cannabutter that I usually eat before bed. My dosing isn't exact (I'm not weighing each bit of butter), and sometimes, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'll find myself rather light-headed, and dizzy.

I've just been cutting back on it.

Oh, and I wouldn't discount the effects of leaving the butter out. Light & heat can cause it to transform some thc into cbd, with ABV, so I would assume that it will still do that in butter. More CBD means much more "stupifying" effects, and, I find, less focus.

I've had the same experience once, but from a joint. just 1 joint, shared with some friends, and an hour after smoking. (was back when I still combusted)
I think it wasn't really the weed, but more a coming together of several things.
I went to a friend's house after dinner, and it happened at 12(midnight), the only fluid I ingested in the time in between was 1 beer.
I stood up to get some water, and after a few steps, already in the hallway, I get a bit dizzy, the feeling I'm used to when standing up quickly after sitting for a while, and to be expectd since I had been sitting there watching tv for a while and was stoned, and it was an indicadominant stone(never had any bad experience with sativa's, also like sativa better).
but then it got worse as I'm used to, so I leaned with my hand against the wall.
I started feeling desorientated and then I suddenly sank to the ground, I still felt my body and felt my back hitting some shelves, but it all felt a bit weird. it was like all my muscles turned to jelly at once. I immediatly got up again, and went back into the room where the others were watching tv, and sat down on the floor to get up more slowly. I got handed a container of orange juice, and after slowly working up to getting up again everything was right.

never experienced anything like it since, but I do always try to keep hydrated, if it possible I'll carry a bottle of water with me to take sips(or gulps) whenever I feel like

still regularly get the normal dizziness-from-standing-up though, but I'm used to that. it's even more common(practically every time) when gardening, when standing up from weeding on my knees in the sun.

Next time just drinking some orange juice, grape juice, or apple juice during your high. This helps keep your blood sugar from getting too low. Or just eat a meal with carbohydrates in it.

 

[ou812?]

Some of you who ingest cannabis with an empty stomach will experience a hypoglycemic episode leading into a full syncopal episode.THC lowers blood sugar( munchies, your replenishing dropping levels) also remember that glycogen(blood sugar) is also depleted by everything you do physically, it is the fuel in which your muscles contract,throw in an empty stomach now the the whole situation is magnified.Sometimes even though you might have a good understanding of the dose involved in your edible, you may not have an accurate account of your blood glucose level,most of us dont carry a glucometer,unless diabetic or have blood glucose issues.

Drinking OJ helps as do most simple sugars and is a quick boost, but one must eat a good nutrient dense meal after gaining their physical stature back and get some rest,you will feel very weak until you can bring your glycogen levels back to snuff. Word to the wise,when the feeling of passing out becomes some what apparent,please take a knee and brace your self,I have BP problems and am always on the verge of a syncopal episode,so I have found this works best,dont try to push thru it, thats when sometimes you wake up and the thing you brush off your shoulder is the FLOOR.

28 yrs in F/R ,Ive seen my share of what can happen if you pass out and hit the deck,its not always something we can talk about as a funny thing or joke about it. I have answered calls were the syncopal episode has ended their life.Please if your lucky enough to be able to identify the aura of an on coming syncope episode please GET DOWN so to speak and hopefully you can recover comfortably with out incident.

BTW just recently had a knock out episode from a milk boil and a Solo stem that was dripping honey.....almost a 15 hour sleep fest and weak as a newborn.......Im about to make some almond cranberry honey clusters with some ABV.I am sure that I will nibble on them slowly and not vape while waiting for the effects,another common mistake that I have learned not to do anymore. Edibles as most of you know can be tricky and I think those that are medicinal users have a better handle on them, I have gotten in trouble recreationally with edibles, heres the synopsis.......smoke( now vape) ,get muchies ,eat mommys laced brownies and CRASH!! this low flying aircraft just hit the deck and skidded in sideways to the tower

 

[djonkoman]

getting down is also what I now always do after that in my previous post happened. I frequently get a small drop in blood pressure when I stand up from my chair or shortly afterwards, I used to just stand still to wait for it to pass, but now I usually sit down on one knee, wich also works faster for it to go away.

I had a strange reaction from drinking 1 bottle of wine and eating about a teaspoon of Already been vaped but. This feeling has only happened once before when i ate abv and mixed with alcohol. The thing is I don't understand how such a small amount could have done that.

What happened was during the night up until about 1:50AM I had consumed the wine and later on mixed in some smoked cannabis and also ate about 1tsp of cannabis. I went to sleep around 5 am I woke up around 8 am with a burning in my stomach and took some tums and tried to lay back down but the burning in my stomach persisted, I got up and felt extremely dizzy, almost until the point of falling over. I assumed I was just having a panic attack (which is common for me after binge drinking) And I decided to go for a walk and wait. I did go for a walk about 1 mile and the dizziness persisted for over 1 hour. At that point I looked in the mirror and my pupils were extremely dilated, I thought perhaps I had overdosed by accident on supplements and pharmaceuticals mixed with the alcohol (as I also take klonopin as needed for panic attacks, however I had waited 40 hours before drinking after my last dose of klonopin, but I figured maybe my body didn't flushout all of the klonopin. At this point I went to the ER. Longer story short, they said I had a panic attack. I had just never had one that lasted that long before other than once and that was when I ate ABV at what I thought was a low dose (1 tsp) and mixed alcohol. I woke up terrified, shaking, and in total fear. I am still not sure what caused these reactions.
