(79,102 posts)I'm in NYS. Back when pot was much weaker, politicians had made it illegal because it was dangerous. But now that it is way, way stronger, it is safe and legal. Hence, I decided to try a hit of the demon weed.
Call me paranoid, but I wanted to be safer than safe. So I had two policement, a psychologist, a medical doctor, three high school health teachers, and a piano in the room with me. I was glad I did.
On a more serious note, an old friend -- who has smoked pot for 50+ years, and done a massive amount of LSD in his youth, recently ate a brownie. He said that he sat on his couch, scared as hell. Thus, as others here have noted, the amount one ate years ago is not in the neighborhood of what is pleasant to consume today. When I was young, I liked to eat a gram of hash. I wouldn't consider consuming a gram of it today. And I told my friend that his experience is exactly why I'd never eat one of the brownies my son makes. I had warned him, and suffered the jokes the two of them directed at me.
On the bright side, abag of weed lasts way longer these days. One hit is all that is required.
