Vancouver hospital flooded by 4/20 marijuana revelers, 64 treated | CTV Vancouver News (http://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-hospital-flooded-by-4-20-marijuana-revelers-64-treated-1.2336761)
Health officials confirm 64 people were admitted to hospital Monday in connection with the 4/20 marijuana celebration in downtown Vancouver.
Providence Health Care said the revelers, some of whom consumed edible pot products, were taken to St. Paul's Hospital on Burrard Street and treated for symptoms including nausea, dizziness and vomiting.
Some of the patients were put on IVs or given a drug similar to Gravol, and many were released shortly after arriving in hospital.
Spokesperson Dave Lefebvre said the patients were all treated and released.
LOL newbs. Be careful with edibles and dabs. I wonder if this will effect future 420 / advocation progress

I've felt the same as well, I got so fucked up once I sat in my truck for 4 hours not being able to move or talk to anyone. I find if its something you don't do often it fucked you up way worse.
When I feel that way at home I just lay in bed and its great, I haven't had any edibles in ages and have really been jonesing for some

Edibles are so bad. You have no idea how much THC you're actually consuming. You might think downing a bottle of lemonade is nothing, 30 minutes later, you're in a panic attack for the next 3-4 hours. Tried this one, never again!

another time while i was in california visiting my cousin i ate an entire cookie, a big one too, about the size of the kirkland cookies from costco. god damn, i was also sipping on a 40 of miller highlife because i was just too damn excited that i had access to the 40oz bottles and well, yeah i was properly fucked up for about 5-6 hours. could not move off of the sofa.. that was the last time i had an edible.

Years ago I made brownies with my roommates, ate them, and nothing was happening. Because we had no food in the house I decided to have more brownies as midnight snack. Woke up for my 8am shift and I was barely functional. Thankfully I had an understanding boss. I was loopy for two days.

When I was 16, a coworker gave me weed brownies and didn't tell me there was weed in them. I was super hungry so I ate a ton of them. I was at work.
Worst experience ever. Imagine being high for the first time and having zero clue of what is going on, mixed with the paranoia that normally comes with being stoned.... I literally thought I was dying and wanted to call 911 but my coworkers kept trying to stop me. Looking back, that shit was completely illegal and out of line lol.

In regards to future events; when watching the news Tuesday they did say that business owners are CHOKED.
With the increase in police, and having to shut down Georgia and Howe, business owners are pissed saying that; you have illegal/unlicensed businesses selling merchandise, food vendors without proper permits and licenses, no one is paying for the police to be there and no one is reimbursing the local businesses for having to deal with the shitshow.
The city agreed, and said it's turning into more of a party, which they don't like. They say it still falls under a "peaceful protest" but it's definitely getting out of hand now. They're saying they might shut down the whole ordeal. (Which I can never see working)

My first edible I ate the brownie at 8pm and by 9 pm nothin so we smoked got ripped and then munchied out and by 10 pm grocery shopping with the missus she had to hold me up it hit me so bloody hard. 6am the next morning she woke me up to drive her to work I sat up and fell over! I couldnt sit up she was pissed thought I was faking it. 10 am I dragged myself into work and my co worker who made them thought I ate it for breakfast, nope bro 12 hours earlier!! I was fucked till mid day with everyone at work laughin at me and hiding me from the boss. they totally covered for me lol. My last edible was at Clear Creek hot tubs in the middle of nowhere I didnt want this one but a buddy came from behind me and shoved it in my mouth (that sounds ghey) the jeep I was traveling in was broken down and had to be towed off the mountain I sat in the passenger seat trippin balls. I left fingerprints in the dash board and screamed like a little bitch the whole way down the mountain till I got back to camp. Worst experience of my life.

A buddy of mine one offered me chocolates without telling me they were full of shrooms. At least it wasn't my first time, but I did have to get up early for work the next day so I was worried I wouldn't be sober by then or get enough sleep. He assumed I knew since they were shaped like mushrooms and I didn't think to ask since his gf always bakes treats. We watched 2-Headed Shark Attack and it was awesome.
My ex also gave me a glass of water spiked with mdma without telling me but that was at a kink party so I had a good time.

Had edibles twice in my life, never again.
You eat them, then:
An hour later you start to feel something
An hour after that you're feeling pretty good
An hour after that you're feeling high
An hour after that you're thinking massively stoned
An hour after that you're thinking "Holy shit will it ever stop!?!?"
And then an hour after that you're better go to sleep because you can't function as a normal human any more.
Fuck that shit.

Just got into edibles recently. I was doing a test and made a small batch of cannabutter from my ABV. You could classify me as a chronic veteran smoker (18+ years), but a tablespoon of the stuff, and I was flying super high, almost to the point of being a bit ill. Knowing this, I am careful to just have a bite of edibles, and see how I'm doing after an hour or two before I try more.

This is so stupid. Marijuana is illegal in B.C. but the city of Vancouver closes the streets to have a pot party. 64 people get sick and we have to pay for it. Maybe if the cops would crack down on it people would actually try to get it legalized.

Quite surprised at the responses in here. It seems I'm not the only one that gets FUCKED UP by weed food. Tried it a couple times and same as everyone else here. Panic attack city, tripping balls, couldn't function, etc. Just way too heavy for me. Not fun at all. It's no surprise that a whole bunch of people got messed up at a 4/20 festival. That party atmosphere clouds judgement. The shatter is more like a body stone for me. It's alright but just not the right kind of stone. Call me old school but nothing beats rolling up a nice bat and blazing. I'm not into all the other forms of ingesting.

Different people react to weed different. I used yo hate doing edibles because I wouldnt be able yo function. Now that I'm used to it I can eat 2-3 edibles and I'm fine. Anymore and I become a couch potatoe. I know people who pefer edibles over smoking.

honestly most people are eating edibles in the wrong way.
I used to use weed as a way to have that cool feeling that u did with your friends. I quit for about 9 years because it became to boring. I just wasn't mentally ready. Then i started getting into more mindfulness/health/fitness and meditation, it will literally blow your mind with how your brain works on it(edibles that is). If you can sit there and meditate on it you can see your life in a completely different way and use it to improve yourself in so many aspects. Also watch/listen to educational things on it. I try to do edibles at least once a month and for a while was doing it multiple times / week.
Also make your own, take a tiny bit first one day on a empty stomach. Slowly build up how much you take so your comfortable with it and not too incapacitated.
#1 place i would recommend people doing is going out by yourself with a pencil and paper to a beach or somewhere in nature that has a beautiful view on a nice day. Work on any idea that comes to mind and try to think of how you could do it in real life. (Very good for expanding your business into ways you never imagined).

I made my own canna butter last night and now I'm scared to make cookies because I think its too strong hahaha
used 29 grams of pure bud and 4 grams of Kief and simmered it with a pound of salted butter for an hour and then strained out the leaf with cheese cloth and this is my final product. First time making it and like I said Im scared to make cookies with it right now since it seems very very strong

Haven't touched it yet I have been busy cleaning my place all day so far.
The THC bound to the butter when I was simmering it so yes its heat activated right now and its ready to start cooking/baking with. 1 pound of butter ended up making 258 grams of Cannabutter or 9oz which is a bit over 1 cup
The recipe I'm gong to use is called Crippling Chip Cookies
1/2 cup pot-butter
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 (12 ounce) package (2 cups) of chocolate morsels
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix (by hand) the butter, sugars, and egg into a large bowl.
Combine the baking soda, salt, and flour.
Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir by hand.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet
Stir in the chocolate morsels.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until light brown.
Hungry? Let cool for 3 or 4 minutes and grub.
My buddy has been using this recipe for 12 years and it works perfect(same recipe that stuck me in my truck. He told me when making the butter with Kief it equals to 10 grams of weed per gram of kief so I'm technically using 70-75 grams of good weed to make with 1 lb of butter.
Keep in mind this is my first time cooking with weed or making the butter so this is a new experience in the kitchen for me.
With it already being 430 I won't be having any today since I don't want to be feeling it still in the morning when I go to work.

After having a bad experience with edibles many years ago, I've learned to ask some questions before trying anything.
How much material did you start with?
Was it low, mid, or high quality?
How many edibles was it divided by?
Had a small cookie yesterday afterwork at 530.. by 750 I was face down in my bed out cold... This be some good cookies and they don't taste that strong either.
Doing some simple math, you're looking at about 2gr per cookie, which is a lot. A fellow I know who makes his own cookies aims for 30gr/30 cookies, or one gram per cookie. Usually a half of his cookie will last about 4 hrs, a 1/4 cookie will give you a mild buzz for about 2 hrs, and a whole cookie will take away a full day. Consistancy is the key, as surprises should be reserved for B'day blowjobs, not edibles.
In the US (and now Canada), they list the strength of the edible by it's THC content.
You can see on this sticker that it says 10.8% tHC content.
https://lintvkoin.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/marijuana-washington-dispensary_3.jpg
So how does THC content fit in here?
Every 1 gram of cannabis bud has 1,000mg of dry weight. If a strain has about 10% THC, ten percent of 1,000mg would be 100mg. So for cooking or baking at home, it is safe to assume that a gram of cannabis contains at least 100mg THC.
Using Catalano’s dosing measurement formula, you do the math accordingly to find out how much THC per serving. Take the amount of ground marijuana, convert it to milligrams and divide it by the recipe yield to determine a per-serving dose of THC. A starting dosage for beginners is 5 milligrams per serving (the Colorado-mandated serving size for marijuana-infused edibles is 10mg THC). Three grams of ground marijuana equals 300mg THC. 300mg divided by the recipe yield, (a classic cookie recipe makes 60 cookies) equals 5mg per cookie. If you want to be even more cautious with your at-home cannabutter cooking, 1.5 grams (150mg) marijuana divided into a 60-cookie recipe will yield 2.5mg a serving.
http://www.thecannabist.co/2014/07/07/marijuana-recipes-calculating-thc-dosage-cannabutter-canna-oils-marijuana-infused/15457/
So doing the math:
3000mg/10% (low for BC bud) = 300mg/16 cookies = 18.75mg/cookie.
Those be some powerful edibles!!! Twice as strong as the average edible in a dispensary, and 4 times the amount that the state of Colorado recommends for beginners!
:lol
Try a quarter cookie next time, and you'll be golden.
