Fuck! I'm high. NORMAL?

[BurnDownTheDiscoHangTheDJ]

So I got high as a teen by smoking it. Never smoked if for 15 odd years. Recently started using edibles for pain (I have lupus). No worries. Taken half a few times. Starting taking whole ones about 2 weeks ago, last one Friday. Took one about 7pm tonight and felt good but fine, pain helped, as usual. But then suddenly as of about 9pm I am SO FUCKING HIGH. Like, SuperHans-high. I've eaten about 12 penguins bars and a six pack of veg crisps meant for the kids packed lunch. My husband is here and thinks this is HILARIOUS. I'm headed for the whole block of cheese in the fridge door and laughing my arse off at Gavin and Stacey on iPlayer.

Is this normal? I've never had this while taking edibles before for the past month or so.

Thanks anyone kind enough (or high enough) to answer.

I took medical cannabis for 4 months, I often felt a bit buzzy but never as you're describing! When I took more than my dosage it just made me feel nauseous sadly but enjoy!

Ridiculous that we are still in a position in the uk where we cannot easily access it legally. Yes you can have it prescribed but it’s an expensive process unless you get accepted on one of the research projects. For so many people THC is the only thing that works for pain control. But alcohol - which causes so much damage and illness is perfectly legal!

I agree completely. Show me a decision or situation I should have avoided and it will be down to alcohol. Show me a. Situation where I've done anything similar stoned. Has never happened.

Obv it can be misused. Same as alcohol.

But it would benefit so many people for pain relief.

That's the only reason I want to use it, as like the OP I have an autoimmune disorder.

Tired of chugging codeine all the time.

Tried to order some on the site mentioned by the OP but stymied by the fact that they only accept bitcoin! (and i really don't want anything to do with cryptos ☹️)
i have restless legs syndrome and it makes my life a misery. Want to get off the dopamine stuff, before it stops working for me, which it will eventually.

But @crumpetswithjam you can get a medical prescription for those very issues you describe as well as serious stuff like cancer. In the process of getting one.

@mowly77 can you share the process for getting a prescription? Are you doing it via a private clinic?

@Axlcat

I used Integro Clinic

It's pretty expensive but that's a legal option

Im decarbing now to make this, though I think I might do biscoff flavoured instead. It's going to be so sickly sweet

Yes, me too. I have rls and I'm on the pramipexole dopamine med. I'm feeling concerned that I am approaching the point where they might be becoming less effective. The side effects are awful too.

Sorry @Axlcat & others with medicinal
need; yes - you can get a legal prescription via a licensed clinic in the UK. I am looking at Sapphire and Integro at the moment. You self-refer & then provide your medical notes or other official medical documentation. Prices vary but there are ways of getting costs down. If you search the chronic pain board there is a good thread about this and some useful information.

I use Saphhire and by taking part in the research group, the cost for consultations is lowered. It's also tailored to your needs so they can add more THC or more CBD depending on what you need and what your symptoms are. I know what's in it, I know its grown ethically in a lab and it means I can take less of my prescription drugs too which there are about 10 different medications including addictive drugs and controlled drugs.

@Littleyellowbowl @mowly77 thanks so much. I’ve got an autoimmune condition so will qualify and will check these places out

The kids are going away for a week tomorrow. You know what I'm going to be doing !!

This is my creation, brownie, biscoff spread, nutella and a lotus biscuit rolled together, covered in chocolate. Iave a feeling ill get the munchies and scoff the whole lot!

Where can I get some?!

You need to add the decarbed weed to butter or coconut oil and cook it on a very low heat for at least 6 hours, you will get better results that way than just crumbling it in. I work for a seedbank in Holland, so have a bit of experience. It is the only thing that helps my arthritis. I use 5 g per 50gr of butter.

Most of the weed available in the uk is home grown. It’s not like cocaine. Of course some weed growers are into some seriously awful crime, but most are just growing for themselves and a bit extra.

Yes you can put the vital ingredient into a mild oil and add it to custard or yogurt like that.

I've had trouble sleeping for years so I acquired one and went to bed, clean sheets, lavender oil on pillow, cool Pjs, all set up to be away with the fairies for an hour, then the real reason I took it to get a good night's sleep. Wow that is not the way it went, I was so bloody high, my trip to the ensuite which is maybe 12 ft away from my bed looked as though it was the length of the M1 away , I had horses from a merry go round going round and round in my head, every time I thought the highness had reached the crescendo it just got worst , it seemed to go on for hours needless to say never took since

I have some 6mg gummies. Thinking of halving them initially. I dont want to get high! I just want my knees and hips to hurt less!

Am I actually seeing a pro weed thread on Mumsnet? First time for everything.

faints

Shh you'll summon them!

It annoys me that threads like this get shut down, when people aren't trying to get high or commit crimes, they're just trying to find some relief. And it should be legal.
