The largest review of medicinal cannabis to date found it doesn’t effectively treat anxiety, depression, or PTSD—despite millions using it for those reasons. Researchers warn it could even make mental health worse, raising risks like psychosis and addiction while delaying proven treatments. Some limited benefits were seen for conditions like insomnia and autism, but the evidence is weak. The findings are fueling calls for stricter oversight as cannabis use continues to rise.
Yeah
Sometimes you want to green the fuck out and wake up two days later feeling like you’ve been enlightened
I tried that once and I just puked and got dizzy
Guess i’m just built different
I am, my body is very weird when it comes to drugs
Heard about THC liquor that’ll do that to yah
One time in 2020 I decided to try my hand at infusing cannabis into alcohol. So I went & got some everclear, infused it with some weed, and gave it a shot.
It was terrible, I just felt crossfaded almost instantly, I ended up adjusting the dosage into something that wouldn’t just make me instantly sick but that was the first and only time I made that. I stick to infusing coconut oil & baking now, I’m not a fan of mixing weed & alcohol
I tried that once a year ago. I’ve done plenty of cannabis infusing into coconut oil with consistent results, so I know my home decarb process is pretty good. I got much the same results as you with the everclear. It was an absolutely miserable experience, I won’t go into graphic detail on how sick I got but it’s safe to say I’ll never repeat it. I’ll stick to coconut oil in edibles. I’ve never had an unpleasant experience with that.
Yea I’m in the same position, I’ve got my decarb/infusing process dialed in with coconut oil so I can be pretty sure of how strong each batch is/what the effects will be like. Baking is more fun anyway, making a tincture was an interesting experiment but not one I’ll ever repeat.
The worst experience I ever had with edibles was doing the math wrong and accidentally making a batch that was twice as strong, I didn’t realize my mistake until the edible I took hit me like a truck and I spent the next 8 hours locked to my couch watching Futurama. I’ll take that over being crossfaded/too drunk any day of the week, the worst thing that happens when I’m too high is eating a bag of chips to myself and feeling like crap because of it lol
Yeah from what I had heard it’s good if you want to be fucked up fucked up for days, not just a lil toasty or zooted.
I think it was a combo of the dosage and mixing cannabis & alcohol. I had no idea what the potentcy of the tincture was & probably took too much, but that was enough to put me off of it. I’m not opposed to being zooted for a couple of days (provided I don’t have anything important going on of course) but the sensation of just jumping right into being crossfaded really sucked
I’ll try it once, eventually, but I’m definitely more interested in being just stoned instead of crossfaded from the jump.
