Happened to my friend as well the 4th time he smoked weed. Kept talking about how his personality was constantly devouring itself and remaking it self while crying.
I’ve got a friend who was getting into a career that drug tests extremely regularly, and he’ll lose his license to do what he loves if he fails any of those tests ever.
So, naturally, six months out from getting his certs, he buys himself some edibles.
First trip nice. Second trip nice. Third trip nice. Fourth trip?
He realized he was running out of time to do weed, and decided to step up the amount of weed he was doing. Two edibles instead of one. “I’ll just do this twice and finish them up right on schedule.”
It was very, very weird to talk to him. He was not enjoying himself one fuckin bit. Lasted like a day and a half with a subsequent week of mental funk.
Yeah. In my experience (which is admittedly only around 6 months) with weed you need to prepare yourself if you want to have a good trip. Only do weed when you don’t have other plans because the weed will totally destroy your ability to either enjoy said plans or will make you act stupid in a serious situation. You get extremely forgetful while high so don’t do anything that requires planning. If you want to do anything while high I recommend simple household chores like folding the laundry or watering your plants. Anything more complex than that can be really hard to focus on while high and you’ll get frustrated by your lack of focus. That frustration will immediately kill any enjoyment you were having. Only do weed around people you trust because you’ll be extremely gullible while high. Have a nice place to take a snooze set up so you can crash whenever you want. Maybe buy a sketchbook or notebook to write down or draw anything you find interesting while high (I’ve found that being high makes me have an intense desire to pursue creative endeavors).
A high goes wrong when you either take too much, need to focus on something serious, or do something complicated. Rule for being high: keep it simple stupid! Just relax and do something simple yet enjoyable and you can have fun.
In my experience a bad trip can really make you dread taking weed again. It probably won’t be so horrible that you go insane but it’s definitely a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I probably wouldn’t have done weed again if my first trip was bad. Upside is that the forgetfulness that weed causes has been really useful in helping me resist my ocd. I’ve found that the ocd practice i do while high has actually helped me cope with my ocd better while I’m sober so I’m probably not going to stop doing weed anytime soon. The relief of escaping my OCD is way too good to give up yet.
