Weed Truffle

Fishooks12 · 10-10-2011 02:17PM #1

Ok so here goes.

I was at EP this year and everything was going great until the the Saturday morning when an attractive woman passed our tent selling weed truffles

Now I don't normally do drugs, the occasional joint in college and I used to do some of the legal high stuff a few years back but normally stick to alcohol

She offered me a truffle and I said **** it thinking the dose would be small and at best lead to a bit of a giggle

Forked over €5 for the truffle and thought noting more about it as I threw it down the gullet.

About an hour later I got a fit of giggles, really intense so the giggles were but enjoyable nonetheless

This lasted about half an hour and what followed was a truly horrible experience. I literally thought I was covered in dry toothpaste despite the fact that my friends told me there was nothing wrong with me. I couldn't leave the campsite for about three hours and when I eventually did the horrible symptoms continued until 4 or 5 that evening until I eventually got a huge wave of depression and had to sleep it off the the tent while everyone else had fun.

Just wondering did anyone else buy any of these truffles and was it possible that it was something else (surely the effects of weed wouldn't last 7 hours or cause me to hallucinate)

bought 2

had a fecking great saturday!

No and by the sound of your experience I don't want to either.

danniemcq · 10-10-2011 02:21PM

oh and OP i'm assuming you were drinking over the weekend and probably not eating proper meals etc. All this can have a negative effect on the effect of the truffles.

and if they were the same ones we had in our camp they were quite potent so if you aren't used to it it will affect you more too.

Shoulda taken a half eh OP?

mackg · 10-10-2011 02:22PM

You get a way better whack off it when eaten, used to it with hash back in the day and it is a whole different ball game. Bad experience was probably down to you not being ready for it, stuff like that can be overwhelming if you're not in the right frame of mind.

really? Funny thing is I would have bought more than one if they weren't a 5er a pop. God only knows what would have happened then.

A lesson sorely learned

Dude, eating weed is much stronger than smoking it. Any kind of 'special' sweet is not for someone without any tolerance.

I'm sorry you had a whitener that lasted hours. If it happens again try to stay as cool as possible and eat something sugary. Ice cream will have you back to normal in minutes.

danniemcq · 10-10-2011 02:24PM

yeah like i said if you haven't done it in a while (like you said yourself) it can be quite unnerving and if you start getting freaked its just a downward spiral.

At least it wasn't mushrooms you took!

maygitchell · 10-10-2011 02:25PM

This could be an interesting Christmas if those sweets make it into the Roses factory

Fishooks12 · 10-10-2011 02:27PM

At one point I literally was convinced I'd taken acid or something and was doomed to die

ringadingding · 10-10-2011 02:34PM

I took acid once, It was truly great, until i'd had enough, when your trying to come down, minutes feel like hours, especially when your body has given up the gaunt but your mind is still on the go.

We used to do hash yoghurts way back when, a horrible trip on them would put you off...... until the following friday night :pac:

Logical Fallacy · 10-10-2011 02:52PM

Noob error OP, never take the full thing if you have no idea how strong it is.

Still, you made it through fine and will have learned a lesson for next time.

AnonoBoy · 10-10-2011 02:58PM

Eating it when you don't know how strong it is is an-oft committed mistake.

Also the "that hasn't kicked in, must be weak, better have more" line of thinking has led to many's a night curled on the couch afraid to change channel, answer the phone or go upstairs to my bed.

Fishooks12 · 10-10-2011 03:01PM

It ruined my weekend TBH, the friday night I was drinking captain Morgans and bopping around to Interpol, the Saturday evening I was nearly in tears at the back of James Blake contemplating my own funeral arrangements

RichieC · 10-10-2011 03:02PM

Dont eat weed and drink beer at the same time... jesus christ.

That's worse than joints with rum.

My brothers and my sister don't speak to me, but I don't blame them because I'm covered in imaginary toothpaste and very high

As I said I rarely if ever take drugs anymore but I'm 6"1 and 14 stone, hence why I thought it was something other than weed as I've never been a lightweight in terms of drink

Maybe I am just a lightweight though

Sky King · 10-10-2011 03:09PM

In fairness if you're having a puff and you find yourself getting too baked you can stop smoking and the minute you do, you know the drug is immediately but slowly leaving your system.

If you've eaten it, you have no idea how much is in it, how long it will last, how strong it is, WHAT it is.... Not for noobz!

Never heard of anyone dying from a weed overdose though they probably felt like they were going to. Chalk it down to experience.

The effects of weed last about an hour, maybe two at the most if you take a strong dose. What happened to you sounds more like the effect of magic mushrooms. Did any of your friends eat those truffles? Did the same thing happen to them?

Value for money FTW

An hour or two?

If you eat way too much weed it lasts way longer than that. I speak from horrible experience here.

Ate some one night at 8, topped it up at half 9. I was in the horrors from about 11.30 to 3 in the morning.

Leftist · 10-10-2011 03:47PM

Eating weed can be very strong.

But seriously

imagine what would happen if you necked microdots or some real mushies. Wow.

Wattle · 10-10-2011 03:52PM

The trainwreck effect is a lot stronger when you've eaten it. In effect you may have injested four or five joints worth at once. No wonder your system got overwhelmed.

This thread is making me nostalgic for the time I was 18 and in Amsterdam for the first time. Me and a friend ate a brownie each and laughed our asses off for three solid hours. The rush was sudden and powerful but I think it helps if you have company that's experiencing the same thing as you.

Ya most of the lads were gone to the shop so it probably didn't help that I was the only one

Sleepy · 10-10-2011 03:57PM

And that's exactly why you can't buy hash milkshakes in Amsterdam any more!

PogMoThoin · 10-10-2011 03:58PM

Knock, Knock,

Dr. White is at the door!!!!

You'd need to eat about a pound of weed for it to kill you. That's an expensive, and difficult, way of commiting suicide.

Had one once there and nothing happened. There must have been nothing in them 'cause one guy ate about ten of them and was grand. Luckily they were delicious, so we didn't mind too much.

You sure they weren't just brownies?
