To consider doing something a bit naughty?!

Ilovethebeach89 · 23/04/2020 13:22

So my 20yr old ds announced last night his mate has some cannabis. He wants me and him to get some and make space cakes. I've never ever tried that but I have to admit I'm curious. I did do other drugs when I was his age but nothing for years and years. I've said no dont be ridiculous but it's at the back of my mind now. Do adults actually do that and enjoy it?! I'm 47 btw. Maybe lockdown has sent me crazy.

Go for it, but take it easy! It’s easy to eat too much because it takes a while to kick in.

Trying2611 · 23/04/2020 13:52

Go for it!!

MaMisled · 23/04/2020 13:55

This conversation is going on in my house too! I'm 53 and it's 30 years since I last smoked cannabis! I don't drink and feel I want something mood altering in these strange times! DD 22 says she'll look after me and send video to older DC locking down elsewhere!

GinDrinker00 · 23/04/2020 13:57

Go for it. Hardly going to turn into a crack head eating space cakes. 😂

I know quite a lot of people in their 30s and 40s who do it every so often. I’d be cautious with hash cakes though as it’s easy to have too much. I’m not sure about doing it with your DS though; I think that blurs the boundaries of then being able to tell him not to do more of it in the future.

BeijingBikini · 23/04/2020 14:01

Do it but start with a tiny amount!!! I've had a horrendous experience where 12 of us had some super-strong biscuits, everyone thought they were going to die and were making themselves throw up, I thought I'd lost my mind and my mate was convinced he'd stabbed someone - we ended up calling an ambulance who turned up 5 hours later and just told him off.

Start SLOWLY, if you have a small amount it is very nice and like all the worries disappear from your head

maddy68 · 23/04/2020 14:02

Go for it. Enjoy :)

MitziK · 23/04/2020 14:04

Hash cakes are a very easy way to spin out. Mainly because it doesn't hit straight away and you keep eating them - then EVERYTHING does at once.

yerawizadari · 23/04/2020 14:12

I'd be wondering how his mate has managed to get hold of the stuff during lockdown, and whether your ds has been meeting up with him.

redcarbluecar · 23/04/2020 14:13

Be careful if you do. I've only eaten 'space cakes' once and I really freaked out (as did my mates) - it was very different from smoking dope and quite scary. I'm not saying that would be everyone's experience obviously.

This. Also I wouldn't go from nothing to eating. The dose is variable and cannabis is stronger these days. Smoke a bit.

Duckingell · 23/04/2020 14:17

I did plenty of recreational drugs in my youth. Wouldn't touch them now unless legalised as i now am aware of the background of crime and trafficking etc.

So no. Think carefully.

loobyloo1234 · 23/04/2020 14:18

Go for it OP. As long as it doesn't become a regular thing. It's great fun, I always have the odd space cake in Amsterdam and enjoy it

WilburIsSomePig · 23/04/2020 14:19

Do it. I think it's lovely he wants to bond with you like that.

Is this a joke?

The last thing I want is my DC to end up in some of the states I did when I was that age.

FFSFFSFFS · 23/04/2020 14:20

As some have said - cannibas is not as benign as some people think and can potentially do great damage in itself. It can also be a gateway drug for other harmful drugs. So why on earth would you want to support your son in doing that?

It's also illegal.

Pursefirst · 23/04/2020 14:23

It's legal where I live, so if it is legal where you are OP then I say go for it. But definitely, start low and go slow

CrazyToast · 23/04/2020 14:25

Haha yeah sounds like a laugh. Just be aware that if you eat it you may feel nothing for up to an hour then it will hit you, so dont scoff loads thinking its not doing anything. Go slow. And also maybe check that your son is just a usual casual user before you essentially endorse it by joining him.

Haworthia · 23/04/2020 14:27

As if a 20 year old wants to get stoned with Mummy.

Also OP, do you have two kids or three? Are you a childminder or do you work in the same office as your husband? Your posting history is a bit inconsistent...

bullyingadvice2017 · 23/04/2020 14:27

You need a fair bit of weed to make decent cakes. Best to make butter first to use.
I'm a lifelong smoker. Got lots of friends who partake also. In our 40s and all got full lives work etc. Probs not the best place to ask on mumsnet, they seem to think on here that you will be shooting up by the weekend if you smoke one joint.

Enjoy op. If it's too much get to bed and have a snooze. Great for you that you have a son who can be open with you. Lots of pearl clutches on here would be saying my kids would never do that whilst they actually would and then lie to them about it.
I know, I was one of them kids.

TheClitterati · 23/04/2020 14:30

you need to cook the weed in butter/coconut fat first OP and then use that infused fat in the recipe. There is a bit of a method to it rather than putting the crumbled weed directly into a brownie or something. have a google to get the correct method as it makes a big difference.

I'd do it if I were in your shoes.

FelicityBeedle · 23/04/2020 14:32

Definitely do it! Something to pass the time in lockdown and I’m sure your son will look after you

LetTheCabbagesDie · 23/04/2020 14:34

seems like an odd 'lockdown family activity'

Hoggleludo · 23/04/2020 14:35

My father was a police officer. Who spent many years in the drug squad.

Even he thinks cannabis should be legalised!

I'd go for it. Try it.

VanWinkle13 · 23/04/2020 14:35

This made me laugh.

I can't imagine ever suggesting this to either of my parents!

notalwaysalondoner · 23/04/2020 14:35

What happened to social distancing - don’t imagine going to his friend’s house to pick up weed is a necessary journey?!

Under normal circumstances I’d say go ahead if you feel like it, but right now this is irresponsible.
