Welcome to cannabis school. I'm your host Jessie Angeles and I'm Brandon Elder and we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from debate flowering Edibles strains and everything in between. Okay. Hey everybody. Welcome back to Tuesday. We're super excited to be able to see you guys again. Hope your week has been well Brandon. Ah yeah, it's been a great week. Yeah. Oh yeah. Very chill. It's been pretty chill. I'd say for the most part.
Yeah, it's I'm sure everybody is been feeling pretty good about not having smoke going over their state right now. So, can I mean, I am right now, it's been rough and gross the lat Last. Yeah several like weeks. Yeah. But you know thank goodness. You know hope everybody's okay out there and Northern California our hearts. Go out to those people out there who've been affected by it, as far as their horrible. So talking about too much, smoke too much, smoke, too much smoke.
Okay, we're going to be talking today about a topic that I think, almost every single person has experienced being on cannabis for a while and for those who are looking into So good, cautionary, tale for you. What are we talking about today? Brandon too much too much? Is there such a thing? Mme, yes, yeah, I would say. So I think there is too much and it's dosing, you know, right? And and especially today, I would say, for the last 10 years as and it could have been longer
than that. Definitely. But as concentrates have been more and more prevalent within, I don't want to say in our society because it sounds so freaking sociologist, but it's just really the Cannabis that you're able to get now. Now, compared to what the flower child of the 70s in the 60s, even they the 80s. Yeah. Even then they didn't have the high potency of cannabis as they do today, even then I'd say when I first tried smoking back and 2006 2000. Yeah, 2006. So it's been stronger.
Oh yeah, it's a lot stronger now than it was back then, even the good stuff back then was nothing compared to what But there is now. Yeah it's so strong today and you get concentrated extracts and those are sixty seventy eighty ninety, nine percent. You know reminds me of that.
Did you ever hear that one? 911 call from a police officer who took a pot brownie from when they did a bust was a long time ago and super funny because he him and his wife ate these two brownies and then they're calling 911 saying I can't feel my body, I think I'm dying. Oh my God. He's come help us, funniest thing but you know, in that moment and I can share some personal experiences here and Brandon can definitely share some as well.
But for me I've had a few instances where I've had too much and so kind of got to go through the stages of having too much. You don't realize it at first that you've had too much, sometimes you do right away. And one of the things that can come from, it is a feeling of panic. Panic. Yeah, a lot of confusion anxiety. Paranoia Panic, fast. Heart rate delusions or supposedly hallucinations, increased blood pressure. Sometimes severe nausea vomiting but that's in prayer.
Oh my goodness you know cases I told you about that long time ago, right? It was one of my first experiences with having that much cannabis so I had experimented with cannabis Not when I was young but oh well, I would say you lot younger over 20 years ago when I was in the Navy. I was about to get out and smoked a big fat blunt with a couple of guys and I don't even like we didn't do anything. We played cards and fell asleep on a couch at somebody random strangers house tens about
right? Yeah. I mean it was bad but I remember one time it was a friend she's like hey come over and let's hang out and we started smoking and she's loading up this little pipe. In we smoked that bowl and after it, I was like, okay I'm feeling really good. I'm cracking jokes having a good time and then she loads up another bowl and the voice in my head says don't do that dude. Don't you are so high right now and I said she's like hey you want to smoke somewhere?
I'm like heck yeah shit. So I ended up smoking it in. My laughter went from laughter to slight laughter to know talking to I just need to hold perfectly still and she said, what's your problem and pushed me and I got up and ran down the hallway. Had my hand over my mouth and I'm puking and it's squirting through my fingers and I get to the I open up the door and I just Yak into the toilet, and I just laid on the floor. It was so cold. It felt so good and I passed out.
She left me on the floor there, dude. What Hell, I don't like I'm so sorry. So yeah, the nausea part can happen. Yeah, I have a buddy that when we first were smoking together, I remember a time that he was smoking and apparently got too high and I just thought I needed to have an exorcism because he just was sitting on the couch projectile, vomiting for just like a minute or two and me and my My body were just in shock. And I just, I walked to the closet.
Grab two or three towels is he's puking and laid it in front of him. On the puke. Is he just kept puking, was like all right, kind of wait for a minute and then he finished didn't. He was fine? Maybe I'm not laughing because it's it is horrible. But I'm laughing because I I know what that feels like when you're there because it's so hard and we can go into other stories of About having too much. And when is it that a person
should kind of slow it down. Is it, is it their tolerance because some people just have a natural tolerance. So they don't know how far they can go. I mean, most people who are new to it, to don't know how far they can go. Now are what they can handle or what is a good dose for them and that's, that's always different for each person. So test it. Doubt. Start, slow and increase it from
there. Now most of the to high doesn't typically come from smoking most of the time it comes from Edibles. Yeah. Edibles is unfortunate Edibles and teachers with smoke, you're getting a small amount by mg into your system and you can, I mean you'd have to smoke Stan. Yeah, it's instantaneous you feel it. You okay. But with an edible remember, Can take shortest half-hour. I've seen that 20-25 minutes on the shortest ones, I've started feel hours upwards to three hours.
Yeah. And then it finally kicks in, and, unfortunately, kicks in all at once, and so typically people, they'll take like, if they've tab too much, they'll have an edible and then they'll smoke a little bit and realizing that they feel that high right away. Then later on, that edible kicks in and you've already got THC in
your system. Boom. Yeah. So with Edibles people, often take one not feel it within an hour, take a second one, not feel it. Take a third one and all of a sudden all three of them kick in and they are way higher than they ever thought they would be. Yeah, my brother actually, he's terrified of Edibles. He's like, I can't do them. He's like and even then because his body has that kind of like PTSD from it. Yeah. Like if he has one of them he's going to be like crying and
throwing. The shower, like he's just like I can't handle it. And so remember that Edibles are they processed way different in the body than do an inhalation because it goes straight into your bloodstream. But when an edible goes into your system, it processes. I believe through your liver. Yeah. And it creates a different chemical, which it absolutely intensifies it and it can last for hours. Yeah. Some of the best edibles I've
had last six. I mean, When I say last, I mean probably high for two to three of those. You feel it coming up. So you fill and then a calm down of it's decreasing. So yeah, yeah. I felt the same thing. I felt four hours six to eight hours. I felt from an edible or tincture. Remember that by putting it in your mouth, it takes a little bit longer, but and it typically depends upon the I would say even who makes it and how they make it. Yeah.
A lot of factors from your metabolism to your body to if you've eaten or not, as well as how its manufactured who makes it. And I think what they make it with because it ranges drastically. Yeah I would say that as far as Edibles go one of the best, paid for Edibles the most tasty and I would say, even the most potent have been from the company called wild wild progress. Yes. So, they just make edibles or
that they make CBD. They make THC products, but they're th see products there indica and sativa you pre-medicated it. Each piece is like 20 mg and so, you mean, they tell you to half it but it's definitely very, very strong by far. One of the most potent, but it doesn't last longer I would say than six hours. I wonder if the make Brandon sized Edibles. I think it's the whole package for you.
Usually, but I think it's like, I think, in every single what it's like to to 400 milligrams per pack. They're not pricey. Yeah, they're really good. But, you know, even the homemade Edibles when you're like chocolates, baked goods, I'm not a big fan of baked goods there. Okay, yeah, I'm not a big fan anyway of cakes and cookies and stuff all the time, right? Chocolates. Pretty good. Like we typically like dark chocolate. Dark chocolate. Yeah, I like dark chocolate. It.
Just go see if you're making homemade Edibles. It kind of takes the weedy taste out covers a lot of that flower. And I mean, it's really good. But to go back into too much. I've had instances where I forgot to breathe. I know that sounds silly, but I had an instant where I was about to be home and I probably had only five miles left to get home and it all kicked in at once. And I had to remind myself to breathe because I became extremely paranoid and Scared.
Now I wasn't inebriated to the point where I couldn't move anything but it was really scary. And so when they say, you know, don't be driving over there, it's definitely got to be careful on this doing anything. Even hiking. If you're doing too much, you could fall down, get hurt, really bad. You've got to watch that and Edibles by far is the hardest on the system because it's a long ride. Yeah, everything else comes down much. Quicker except for really large dabs as well.
But that's high doses of concentrate your body up and it's really hard to get that level of. Yeah I've noticed that with pens, it's extremely difficult. Like you just keep it like it. There's like a bar that's like nope. You can't get any more medicated in this stage but you know. Okay. So Brandon were too high. Do we just have to write it out? I mean yeah you can't make it go any faster than Well you can
introduce CBD high doses of CBD. Usually 921 12:50, can't hurt to even do 12:40 to bring that way down. So 20 milligrams of CBD to 1 milligram of THC. And that will drastically bring down the high. The euphoria that you feel. You can also chew a couple black pepper, pepper corns. Oh, really the terpenes and not will help. You can also drink lemon juice and water, the lemon terpenes and that in there, as well as water helps. So that's really interesting.
I remember that one time I called you and I was like, hey man, I am it just started to intensify more and more and more and he says, hey do you still have that teacher of CBD oil? And it's yeah. And he goes, go take some of that. So I took two droppers of that in about a half hour. My body calm down. I wasn't I wasn't you as euphoric, I wasn't.
Anxious and I definitely wasn't paranoid anymore but panic attacks can come from this and I had that happen before and so you really got to just take it easy. Oh yeah, yeah. With high-dose out of bowls, are any dose of edible that is too high for you is something to look out for. I had a buddy who hadn't had a bowl of that, it was a surprise brownie that someone made. And they said, hey, I'll give you this brownie, but you have
to eat the whole thing. A thing and I'll tell you how much is in it after it's gone dick and he didn't think that, you know, there would be that much in it. So he's sitting there eating it a little bit at a time going.
Tell me how much is in and he's like, nah, I don't tell you finishes the whole Brownie and tells him, there's a hundred and fifteen milligrams in it. So he's dividing 115 mg by the entire tray of brownies there and I was like, no, that's that's 115 in the Brownie and And he did not have a high tolerance. He passed out on the couch for a while. Middle of the night. Got up finally went outside. It was Christmas morning.
He laid down in the snow next to his car for a couple minutes because he was just so hot from being that high. Hmm. And he was high for think he said, 36 hours straight. That's horrible. Yeah, and so that's not an experience, a lot of people are looking for So you want to definitely make sure that your dosing is proper for you. And at that time, I wish I had had CBD. Yeah, that would have helped a lot. It's a live and learn
definitely. And one thing to look out for is that we've talked about tolerance breaks, when you've come back from a tolerance break, you have a higher likeability of taking too much, because you'll still remember that. You'll just puff a little bit more you'll have Of a full piece of an edible and thinking that that's totally fine. You know, my tolerance is always there, but you really need to be careful after our tolerance break because even a short one, even after three days.
Oh yeah, you're going to feel it. I recently went on the tolerance break for I would say 12 days and it was you know, coming back to it definitely. Just you know, I will just say this it's quite economical now for me. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. I've looked at that so many times going and imagine how much cheaper it would be if I had a lower tolerance and I try and take a tolerance break and I come back and I take 100 mg edible and I just it's fine.
Geez. That would tend 5, I would feel that. So I feel for you and I feel for those out there who are having those same experiences, because it's not It's just not fun. Just not fun now. So definitely watch your house. I know, I have actually had an experience of too much. This is this is crazy. Okay yeah, I know. So I made my own butter and usually I dose everything of mine because I like to know exactly my experience of what I'm looking for and I know
exactly where I can get that. How what my levels are? What my dosing is. I know exactly how to get that and this I hadn't dosed out yet and I made some tea and I just put a tablespoon in this entire French Press of T and I drank the whole French press and hours later. You know, it was fine. Crap bedtime, didn't feel really high went to bed woke up in the middle of the night to be. I never do that. Got up went to the bathroom.
And I saw tracers like fractal pattern tracers from this edible that was kicked in and I sat in there and then I App and I blacked out for a split second I blacked out and I'm laying there in the bathroom floor, trying to get up, trying to be really quiet because my girlfriend's asleep in the other room and so I'm sitting there trying to get up and of course you heard the thud. So as I'm trying to quietly get up, she opens the doors on the other side.
Are you okay? And I'm like, yeah, I'm good. I just blacked out for half a second. Like, I don't know what happened before. That is the weirdest thing because I never really experienced too much. Then I got backup went to bed. Woke up three, four hours later, they'll just fine. So my body processes th see very quickly so usually my Edibles don't last as long. It takes Alexander something in the butter that made it stay longer when you make edible that
has stayed here too fat. The THC molecule has to adhere to fat, and that's the way it's going to be able to work in the system. That's why it takes so long. That's why when you eat your food, you don't immediately get everything from it. It takes time to digest. So you have to be very careful with it. Yeah, again, going back to, you know, if you're smoking it's a little bit easier. I think, when you smoke too much, you just get really tired. Yeah.
Most of the time when people smoke too much, they fall asleep on the couch and then they wake up an hour or two later. Yeah, typically even with Vape, I think you just go Go. Okay, I've had enough but they caution anything you put in your mouth edible teacher. Just be very careful. Yeah, definitely. All right, be safe out there. Everybody now your dose know your dose low and slow. Take it easy. Thanks for tuning in. Leave us a review. Share us with your friends.
Yeah, can't wait to see you guys next week. Make sure to get a bag of chips before you start your sash.
