I’m not a medical user and I can get 100mg packs, but they’re either 10 or 5 mg doses. Even still when I started I would only take a 1/2 of a 5 mg. After not smoking for years it still hit enough.
All the dispensaries around here warm to start low and give it time before taking any more.

Having never tried it, 5mg would be a lot more appropriate.

Yes, overwhelmed by it, you can become nauseous and throw up.

I've been smoking weed all my life and generally stick to around 10mg on edibles, up to 15 mg. 25 wouldn't kill me, but I'd have to be sure I didn't have anything else to do for the rest of the day.

Having never tried it, I would agree 100%

10mg is the standard serving size. I had over 25mg and getting off the couch was hard. Relaxing as hell but you won't do too much. I have never thrown up from it but one thing is (if you can) eat something and it will start to bring you down.

The taste of raw hemp is not pleasant and would make me gag. Who knows what or how it was made (manufacturing straining process) in terms of ratios and the manufacturing straining process. I have made my own oil and butter, and you have to get the vegetable matter or or the taste is poor and sour.

Sorry it was bad for you.

2.5 mg is a nice starter. If you have some straight cbd oil
you can take about 250mg of that to help make the 25 mg thc dose less intense

chew another one, if I feel the need.

and it made me so dizzy it was like being drunk.

Everybody's body is different, you'll have to find the right dose for you if you choose to do this again. If you liked any of the experience, you might want to try Delta 8 (hemp-derived THC) which is legal in many states where marijuana is not. Delta 8 is often described as "marijuana lite." No matter which version you try, start small as others have suggested.

for not knowing better before introducing you to a psychedelic experience.
Good thing she didn't have anything stronger around.

Give it another try, remember Set & Setting (in addition to dosage) are very important.

How Not to Overdose on Oral Cannabis

More than half of all U.S. adults under the age of 60 have used cannabis at least once. While cannabis is usually smoked, oral consumption is not uncommon. When eaten, the effects take substantially more time to come on, are described as being more intense, and last hours longer than when smoked. The high potency of THC and other cannabinoids means that a large dose can fit into a tiny portion of food. These factors, combined with a wide variation in potency from one batch of edibles to another, present a considerable risk of unpleasant, long-lasting, accidental overdoses.

Cannabis edibles have become more available in recent years as the medical marijuana market has matured. They are popular enough that a page with two recipes for cannabis cookies was the third most visited article on Erowid.org in August and September 2011. Many medical dispensaries sell an assortment of edible products: from classic brownies and cookies, to fudges, lollipops, pizzas, bagel bites, tinctures, and "cannabutter" (for use in home cooking).

But even commercially available products are made from plants that naturally vary in cannabinoid concentrations. Whether bought or baked at home, the dosage of the same type of edible can differ from one batch to the next. As a result of this natural variation, as well as some common usage errors, over the past 40 years oral cannabis has developed a reputation for being unpleasant and too strong. An overdose can be overwhelming, including extreme disorientation, confusion, hallucinations, depersonalization, nausea, vomiting, pounding heart, anxiety, and paranoia.

and ended up in the ER with a heart rate of 130. The ER docs said they are seeing a lot of this kind of thing with THC edibles. They talked about how unregulated the industry still is at this point. (This is Northern CA.) That happened last May. She still has problems that stem from that one incident. Just be careful out there.

Among inexperienced users, leaving the house can bring on paranoia - often centered on an unshakable notion that people know you are high AF. I was a long-time user, but i took a hiatus that lasted nearly 25 years, as I started using again a few months ago. I was in a semi-public location when I tried a few hits off a joint to break my ‘fast’, and I experienced a paranoia I hadn’t felt since my very first time. Just remaining cognizant of those irrational fears was a big help in keeping me tethered to reality.

“Remember, you took a mind-altering substance,” is always something to bear in mind, when trying to decide if your perception may have diverged from a more objective view of reality.
