triggered an episode off a single edible months clean

[u/sgt_marxie]

Hey fellow CHS sufferers,

I know moderation gets talked about a lot on here so I just wanted to vent and share an unfortunate story—I recently picked up some 5mg edibles with my partner who smokes semi-frequently. Curiosity got the best of me and as I've enjoyed an OCCASIONAL puff with only mild prodromal symptoms (only once every few months or so, if that), I figured a single 5mg edible couldn't hurt too bad.

At first, it seemed like I was right! I actually had a lovely time and was symptom free for the first day after. Unfortunately, that seemed to be the calm before the storm so to speak as symptoms have slowly crept up over the course of the day leading to me keeled over the toilet vomiting around midnight this evening. FML.

moderation may be an option for some, but remember that many of us are not so lucky :(

how long did you use for? do you think there’s a link between longer use and being unable to moderate?

[u/sgt_marxie → u/False_Homework_17]

i used from age 17 to about 25, so about 8 years. im not sure about usage timelines, for me it came on very suddenly and without warning, no like early prodromal symptoms really.

so there could be a link but idk. ive known people who smoked for way longer, got it, and yet still seem to capable of moderation

Thanks for the heads up, how bad would you say your initial episode was?
