I Overdosed On Homemade Marijuana Gummy Bears
I didn’t die, but I wanted to.
I felt like I was dying. A little part of me wanted me to die just to make the nausea and headache go away once and for all.
I’ve read a lot about eating edibles. They say that people might not feel any effects for an hour. I love the smell of weed, but I’m not into smoking it. I like the smell of gasoline, too. I just don’t think about adding it to food. I suffer from insomnia and have been for months. I hoped edible marijuana was going to save me and make me sleepy before 4:00 am every night.
What’s the worst that could happen if I made my own edibles?
I had a craving for gummy bear marijuana edibles. The homemade kind. I read a recipe I found online over a dozen times. Hey, I found it on the internet so it must work!
So I counted 75 Haribo Goldbears and put them in a glass bowl. The recipe said to melt them for three minutes at 50% power. I happened to look at the microwave with one minute left on the timer. The melted gummy bears almost boiled out of the bowl. The recipe didn’t tell me what to do if this happened, or that it was a bad thing, so I didn’t think it was a problem. After all, the gummy bears were melted.
