I'd be sitting there after a puff and not feeling anything, then all of a sudden my roommate and I would make eye contact and both would just bust out laughing. I'd be interested if that was the feeling I'd get again. I'm not so sure i want something that's going to make me want to sink into the couch.

Any use in trying one of these with that in mind?

I have not found one yet that will make me the old school college high you described. I was looking for the same thing. Try one and see what you think. I can't tell you if it's what you are looking for. It's not Reefer Madness and you take one sip and fly out the window. Start with a 5mg and see, then keep drinking them and see where it gets you.

Thanks. After dinner last night, went by a Total Wine in the same shopping center. Picked up a Loft (10mg THC, 10mg CBD). It was lemon-lime flavor and basically just tasted like a 7-Up. I really got nothing from it. I maybe got a little spatial/balance effect when I'd stand up or move my head around. Nothing I'd seek out for pleasure. And it didn't noticeably "mellow me out" or affect how long it took me to get to sleep. Oh well!

Take it with a spoonful of peanut butter next time

Sounds like you need the mushroom chocolates I got in Kansas City at a shop.

I don't get it. How would that help?

THC is fat-soluble so eating something fatty like peanut butter speeds up absorption.

Interesting. Was at a NYE party this week and someone had a few cans of "Willie's Remedy." Didn't try one, but was a bit intrigued. (didn't have any peanut butter, tho!)

lol, do those come with peanut butter?!

I don't think peanut butter speeds up onset, but instead it makes absorption more effective, thus increasing the high both in magnitude and duration.

Edibles do have a slower onset than smoking, but things like tinctures can be faster if absorbed sublingually.

The drinks are water soluble. Or the thc is nano emulsified which absorbs significantly faster. They say 10 mins. Very similar to alcohol absorption, although you feel it much faster considering quantity differences. Easier to manage in take

Actually, now that I think about it, my meal was a choice rib-eye and some au gratin potatoes. Shouldn't that have provided any needed fat? I really felt nothing worthwhile.

Considering that it's been decades, is there a need to sensitize myself through exposure? If I recall correctly, the very first time I tried it in the old days, I felt nothing. But the second time, it was a riot!

Yeah that should have been good enough. Maybe you need a second dose like you said.

Yep, some of these I don't feel anything after one drink.

I thought I'd follow up with an update here.

Someone recommended the Willie's Remedy infused drinks to me, so I got a 4-pack (10mg variety) at Total Wine.

I definitely feel the effects of these. It's not a profound high, but more of a floating sensation and a tendency to really fixate on the TV, if it's on. I realized once that I hadn't moved a single muscle (particularly my head and neck) for quite some time, so I made a point to move around a bit, then went right back to zoning into the TV (motionless). I also can't say I was really following what was going on in the show...

I only ever had one can on any given occasion, and the one time there were people (besides just my wife) over, I did find myself laughing at absolutely nothing once. It felt inappropriate and I kept expecting someone to turn to me and say "what are you laughing at?" but no one seemed to notice, or maybe they did notice and just wrote it off to the drink...

It's not something I'll do routinely, but I do have another 4-pack in my beer fridge, just to have on hand for when I might find myself in the mood.

We do have a friend that's been a daily pot user for basically all her adult life. I may hit her up for a puff of her stuff, just to compare smoking vs drinking hemp sourced THC.

Side note: Although you must be 21 to purchase THC drinks, same as alcohol, they (Total WIne) scan the back of your drivers license when you purchase the former (but not the latter).

That kind of makes me paranoid. Is there some database that I'm in now? (I mean other than a Total Wine customer/marketing database.) Particularly, does the state get that info? I wouldn't particularly like that.

The effect of the product can vary by product and consumer. I've had 10 mg drinks that didn't do a thing, and I've had 10 mg that hit perfect. Just because it says 10 mg on the can doesn't mean it's equivalent to a different product. The dosing may be the same but the THC could be very different. Once you find one or two that work for you, you should be set. In my experience, Wonder Water has the best effect on me. I have also had the concentrated mix base by Nowadays, which is 5 mg per serving, btw, and it was good.

I've started getting into them last month and have think they are a great alternative to alcohol. Now I only really drink on Saturdays. The bars here serve a local seltzer called High Rise. It's on the pricy side though. If I buy six four-packs of 10mg I get six for the price of five and if I go Wednesdays it is an extra 15% off. Otherwise one four-pack of 10mg drinks are around $25.
