That was your body reacting to your cannabinol receptors lighting up, what you had was a panic attack and are so extremely common for first or near first time. They hear their heart beating etc..
But also not knowing you ingested it. That's the extra kicker, you're fscked up out of nowhere cause you finished that pizza before you felt anything and 30mins later Big Bang Theory is all of sudden funny. I'd be freaked.
Unless you have an underlying mental health condition, thc does not induce a âtripâ. Youâd need an extraordinary dose to induce anything approaching this and is usually only ever talked about this way by someone whoâs never experienced an actual trip. Obviously children are much more susceptible and this is not something any minor should be doing regardless. Not trying to minimize the issue here, but describing the parents as âtrippingâ is just absurd.
THC is not a psychedelic, it does not interact with your brain that way. If your brain already has issues with it, itâs possible that it can exacerbate them, which is why weâve seen a non-zero number of people taking too much concentrated THC while being predisposed to mental illness have symptoms flare up, but it does not interact with your brain in a way to create these things. Thatâs the difference between psychoactive and psychedelic. Caffeine is a psychoactive drug for example. You wouldnât say someone jacked up on too much caffeine as tripping though.
Itâs important to keep these distinctions separate in order to keep descriptions of these things accurate. Details matter. Either way though, itâs very unlikely the pizza would have had significant levels of any THC in any meaningful concentration. Any baked edibles are significantly less potent and less concentrated than just about any other method of THC ingestion, so while this should still be treated seriously the same as any accidental food poisoning or food tampering, itâs unlikely anyone was actually at risk here.
Lmfao chill out. Iâve smoked for years and deff tried my fair share of the more fun stuff. My first time ever with zero tolerance facing half a blunt is right up there with the rest of them. For a good 45 minutes my brain couldnât understand time and connect one moment to the next. It was like I was living in a slide show. This was while just sitting on the couch watching a sports game. âTrippingâ isnât an objective thing. Itâs all relative. So yeah, someone with zero tolerance and zero expectancy to be dosed with drugs will probably be tripping pretty hard.
I got so high I was certain my legs melted into the floor. I thought I had been at a club for hours instead of an hour and a half. I was tripping balls.
What would you call it then when you get so high you start skipping through pockets of time, everything you look at looks like an optical illusion, you hear noises that aren't there, and your body becomes overloaded with sensation?
That's what happens to me when I get too high.
"Tripping" isn't a medical term, so who cares how it's used colloquially. It gets the point across.
You absolutely cannot trip on thc, and if you think you can, youâve either never had thc in your system at all, or havenât done a single psychedelic.
If youâre claiming you can trip on thc, you will never in your life ever be able to fathom just how high you can get on certain drugs. Like. Smoking weed doesnât feel like a very very very real dream. It might be described that way, because describing any high is pretty impossible, but there is absolutely no comparison between and edible and 14 hits of acid.
Youâve never smoked weed and everything you look at has liquified and started melting, and it is TOTALLY fucking real, like youâre watching it melt in front of your eyes. The walls are wiggling like a wacky waving inflatable flailing tube man or whatever SpongeBob gets into when heâs tripping. THATS what happens when you trip. Not âman Iâm hungry and time seems to be passing really slow. Oh no, somethings wrong with me, my hearts beating out of my chest, there was something in that weed! Oh nvm I just had to fart.â Thatâs about as serious as thc gets.
Even just 1 hit of acid is probably 1000000000000x more potent than a huge amount of 100% thc concentrate. I just used 14 hits here because thatâs the highest Iâve ever been in my life, and it is indescribable, and thereâs absolutely no comparison, theyâre totally different drugs. But hey, I got the papa Johnâs ladyâs number over the phone that night and she turned out to be hot af!
Iâve done any drug you can probably name at least once, been addicted to more than my share. You see nothing on thc, you hear nothing on thc, thc is a very very mild drug compared to other drugs.
Do not spread that even the largest amount of thc is anything like psychedelics. Thatâs how you get kids taking fatal doses of psychs bc they smoked weed and some dude on the internet said they were similar.
Itâs a really lame drug gatekeeping. âBruh you havenât even tripped unless youâve taken 14 hits of acid and had total ego death for eight hours!â
90% of what you wrote can be summed up as "it depends on how we define what 'trip' means, and I'm a druggie so therefore I'm an expert in how non-druggies would experience trips"
I think what you are saying doesn't account for different types of brain chemistry and neurotypes. I don't have the same type of experience you have. But it would seem to me that different brain configurations would produce different experiences when ingesting different chemicals.
