Don't mix alcohol and pot cookies.

This was a lesson that my brother's friend learned on NYE. My brother had asked if he could invite a friend to our party. This guy showed up and was pounding beers. A friend of mine brought pot cookies with him. I personally am not a fan of edibles, but I don't begrudge anyone that kind of fun. I made sure the cookie tin was properly l labeled though, so that no one ate one by mistake. 

This guy decided to have one after never having eaten one before. I tried to convince him not to. And an hour later, he was puking his guts up in my bathroom. We checked on him a few times, but he was in there for a good hour. He then collapsed on our couch downstairs. Also, I'm not sure what he did with one of our towels. It's missing and I haven't found it yet.

    I've never had pot edibles. Does that usually happen if you mix them with alcohol?
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    Yea, I think so. Especially since it sounds like this guy was already drunk. Definitely not a good idea to mix, even without edibles.

    I hope you guys didn't have to clean up after him. I would be really pissed off having to clean my bathroom after someone got sick in it. And yea, you definitely don't want that towel back lol.

    I think that edibles hits you harder, mixing can be rough regardless but if he's never eaten it before and then all of a sudden does it with alcohol, yeah , all bets are off. 

    I'm sorry for the loss of your towel, but I don't think you want it back.

    I think that it has that effect on people, especially if they don't usually smoke pot or eat edibles.

    Thankfully the bathroom wasn't a mess at all. I would have been livid if I had to clean up after him.

    Most of you know that Colorado has state legalized pot.  There has been a problem with edibles.  You don't know exactly how much pot is in the goodies.  They are unregulated.  This is especially true of home made goodies.  There is also concern about children getting hold of them without realizing that they are different than the cookies they are used to eating.  There have been some hospital trips.
    I would be very wary of edible pot products.
    I do support the legalization of marijuana here.  I'm not a user myself (yet), but if I need it down the road in my cancer treatment, I want to have it legally available.  I think our police have better things to do than to enforce outdated drug laws.  On the other hand, I share the concern about underage users and accidental poisonings.

    Usually if you eat the pot edibles first, see how it affects you (which can take quite awhile), and then drink a moderate amount, you'd be fine. Getting drunk first, and then eating an edible, which can be much stronger than smoking, is not such a great idea. Especially if you don't have much experience with pot. I would also not recommend having pot, in any form, and then getting shit faced.

    I did try an edible once and I was super high for hours. I didn't like it and I was happy when it wore off.

    Not an edible fan. Even though they're labeling goods with THC content, like 15.30 THC, what does it even mean? The average consumer doesn't know. No frame of reference, yet. How many tokes are in a cookie? Not a clue. 
    Plus, I take my baking very seriously. I have never yet heard of a baked good where the taste was actually improved by adding any form of cannabis. So, nope. 

    I mix marijuana and alcohol with no adverse reaction at all, but I'm very moderate with both. A couple of glasses of wine and a toke are lovely. Or the other way around. Being a little lightheaded and silly is fun. Being smashed and stupid is not my cup of tea.

    Yeah I had a horrible experience with edibles when I was maybe 19? I was home from college and my parents were out of town, so I decided to make brownies and then my friends were gonna come over. I tried one brownie to see how they turned out, and felt nothing. So I decided I hadn't put enough pot in. So I ate like 6 more brownies. Worst. Fucking. Idea. Ever.

    I was too dizzy to keep my eyes open, but too dizzy to sleep, and I thought I was going to puke the entire time but never did. Total misery. I woke up the next morning and was STILL super dizzy so I tried to just keep sleeping and it took forever for it to totally wear off. Never again. Such a rookie mistake, too.

    I'll just stick to vodka, thanks :P

    ETA and we also had a towel disappear at our last party, after one of our friends was in the bathroom for half the night but claimed he was totally fine. I hope I never ever find that towel.

    I've never tried edibles for the reason that I won't know how much is in it.  I also couldn't bear to make my brownies or cookies potentially taste weird so I've never tried making them either.

    I did love the HIMYM episode where Robyn accidentally eats something with pot in it and then is high as a kite on air.

    This made me LOL. I sort of did this once, only it was three muffins. My new boyfriend at the time (we hadn't had the pot convo yet) was supposed to come over not long after, and I wasn't dizzy or anything, but I was super high, so we were just hanging out and talking, and eventually I had to break down and tell him "I'm sorry, but I'm super high right now." He turned out to be a total pothead and thought I was the coolest girlfriend ever. Too bad he was a total loser.

    Edibles can be really rough on you if 1) you've never smoked, 2) you don't know how much is in it, and 3) you eat the whole thing. Most edibles aren't meant to be scarfed down like a regular cookie or brownie. I usually eat a couple of bites, and that's all I need. I do like the nice, slow high they provide. It's a surefire way to get me to fall asleep at night.

    The first time I tried one, I ate an entire brownie. Even though I'd smoked for years, holy hell did it hit me hard. I was slurring my words, could hardly walk, kept entering that half-awake/half-dreaming phase where I was seeing weird things (like Snow White walking across the yard), couldn't remember my name, etc. 

    Luckily, I was at the party with a friend, and he made sure I got home safely. I didn't get sick, but he insisted on staying overnight (on the couch) so he could keep an eye on me. He probably thought I'd eat a towel. ;)

    Oh nooooo. Never combine being shit-wasted with edibles of unknown potency!


    Not a huge edible fan myself. I like to be in control of how much (of anything) I consume. Being too drunk/high/stuffed to the gills on grandma food is the worst.

    H is the same way. I prefer edibles because I don't like smoking (asthma/allergies/like my lungs to be pink, etc), but he prefers smoking because he can control his "dose" easier.

    DH knows a gal living in CA with her husband. Gal is now making a living by making pot lollipops. Claims you can't taste the pot and that these things taste good. I've mental images of her selling them at some kind of craft fair or farmers market, and some oblivious, unsuspecting woman buying one for her child.

    She offered to send some to DH, who declined because 1) he's not into that scene and hasn't been since he went into the military, 2) I would have thrown an epic fit- I'm gov't employed, and a lawyer; I can't risk that stuff being found in my house/person/etc, and pot is not legalized in my state.

    After telling me all this, I did look at DH and ask if his acquaintance realized that if she shipped those pot lollies via the mail service, and particularly out of state, she risked federal criminal charges for distribution of illegal substances in interstate commerce. He believes she hadn't considered that.

    If we truly wanted to get high, I've leftover muscle relaxers from a bulged disc in my back last year, some codeine laced pain killers, and the like. Maybe some night I'll get on a drunk knotting thread, take one of those (because I gave up pretty much all booze as a new years resolution), and let the fun begin :-D
