In reply to the discussion: Maureen Dowd eats Colorado cannabis candy bar, unwise about dosage. [View all]dionysus
(26,467 posts)111. reminds me of a story in a Hendrix biography i read a long tome ago. jimi was chillig with his buddy
on a park bench,and his friend was interested in trying acid. jimi gives him a tab. doesn't do anything after 15 min so they guy asks for another. then another.
and this is pure 1960d shit, not the stuff you get today which is a crapshoot.
then jimi told him it took a long time to kick in , and suddenly the guy got fucckkkkked up. imagine trippin' with jimi for your first trip ever... that'd be so cool...

edibles can fuck you up. smoking gets you high instantly, but eating it take a few hours to kick in.
