To be excited that ive made pot brownies!

[Greenbrownies]

I am a reg here and have name changed.

Me and my DH have made some pot brownies for tonight I have never smoked pot before or even been stoned. Were off to amsterdam next year and I would like a space cake over there so we thought we would try at home first before in an unfamiliar setting.

I am a bit excited nervous and again excited! Anyone ever made pot brownies what was it like? AIBU to be excited?

@0ccamsRazor that is evil 😂😈

I find it even more odd that anyone would want to share their 'excitement' on social media

I assume you feel the same reading all those "Mummy's gin time" posts on Facebook too then?

All cannabis ever did was give me a headache and nausea. Rubbish drug.

I think impact depends on how you make them. THC breaks down at high temperatures so you tend to lose potency if you bake it too much. Brownies that are still gooey and barely cooked work best.

I'd recommend having some Rennies to hand in case you get nauseous. Orange juice or effervescent vitamin c tablets have been the magic formula I've used to pull people out of a whitey (harmless but miserable weed overdose) in the past.

Be very careful about when you next drive. I've dealt with many prosecutions for this.

Yay have fun!

Would you smoke with a pipe? It's still as instantaneous as smoking a joint but without all of the tobaccoey badness

I assume you feel the same reading all those "Mummy's gin time" posts on Facebook too then?
Yes.

When my mum has cancer, she could hold of some cannabis oil / paste stuff (illegally, I should add). She said it made her feel awful, she’s never smoked it before. I used to, and thought she was probably overreacting.

I was in terrible pain one day due to an ongoing illness and she told me to try a bit. I’m talking about a pin head’s worth (a lot less than she was having in a capsule).

I have never felt so close to death in my life. Seriously. My brain stopped working. Couldn’t talk, couldn’t think, couldn’t move. I won’t be having pot again unless I’m smoking it.

Good luck OP - go easy

dont scoff them all it takes ages to have an effect then it really kicks in

Have a great evening, enjoy!

Why on earth would you boast about drugs on mumsnet? Weed is a gateway drug, congratulations

oh get away dog

Had them in Amsterdam. Thought they tasted like dirt. Still felt the effects the next day. Ugh.

Weed is a gateway drug

Yes, next week - heroin cupcakes 🙄

Or sugar water op if either of you white out. Basically something sweet. If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or lose consciousness, the other person should lie you down and give you something sweet, it will pass.

As said though, eating cannabis takes two or three hours min to have an impact, so be very careful here on how much you consume.

Hope you're prepared for a potential visit to Whiteyville

Oh Jesus Christ you’re in for an experience.

I made pot muffins when I was a teenager. I was well used to smoking it but eating it was something else entirely. Never again. We went to the pub afterwards. I was sitting on the bar stool and needed to get something out of my bag on the floor but I felt like if I reached down, I’d fall off the chair and never be able to get up again. I was still high the next evening. It was awful.

Practically speaking, I echo what everyone else said about only eating a tiny bit and waiting a long time for your response to it. Same about getting in lots of snacks and have the bed ready to collapse in if it all goes tits up.

Don’t make any plans for tomorrow (and probably Sunday too). Absolutely do not drive anywhere tomorrow. If you react like I did, you’ll still be high as a kite for the next 24 hours.

Hate the taste, and the effect is different depending on the strain you've used in your baking -- DEFINITELY take on board the cautions about how long it takes for you to feel anything!

Curious as to why you both decided to eat it? This is really unwise for someone whose never had it before. Especially in a home baked good where you can't be sure of the dosage in a given slice.

Shhh...no-one calls it pot anymore.

Don't eat too much.
They'll kick in eventually and you'll be fucked if you've scoffed a load of them.
Hope you have some good eats in.
Keep some chocolate and o.j. handy, in case it all gets too much.

Some good music would be ideal.
I particularly recommend Disappearing by The War on Drugs.
Also Let it happen by Tame Impala
No puns intended.
Both are on YouTube.

Jesus Christ - with all the experiences on here of people feeling really ill, like why would you want to do this? Here or in Amsterdam - it sounds like a special kind of stupid.

And yes - it is a gateway drug.

The brownies over in the dam are way stronger than what you'll make here.

Weed is a gateway drug

It can be, it isn’t always. I smoked it for years, have never tried any other drug at all and haven’t smoked weed for many years either.

I love Amsterdam, you should have a brilliant time! Brownies there are usually really good and the people in the cafes will help you choose the right ones.

As has already been said, don't kid yourself that it hasn't worked, it can take a while to kick in.

Enjoy the laughs and go with it!!
