Yeah, that happens sometimes. It happened to me the 2nd or 3rd time I ever smoked pot. Hasn't happened since. I'm a very, very irregular smoker though, and don't smoke much more than just enough to feel a mild buzz.
I've got a batch of edibles in the freezer--I made some brownies for my partner--but apparently you aren't supposed to use a whole ounce in a small pan of brownies? IDK, apparently they're a bit on the strong side.
I've heard many times that "alcohol is worse than smoking pot" or "they're about the same", depending on who you ask. Never smoked pot, so I can't speak from experience there, but booze never caused me any of the weird stuff I read about smoking.
Sure, drink a lot, and you you will run into some nasty problems. Also seems to hold true for the people who smoke way too much. I know some people who have been smoking for years, and their brains are clearly fried to a crisp. Then again, if they had been drinking instead, who knows how bad it would have been. Probably very bad.
However, smoking once can apparently have some unexpected results, whereas drinking once... Well, if you have just a few drinks, you should be relatively fine. If you drink a lot, you'll wake up the next morning in someone else's house with a stolen traffic sign next to you. Oh, and the Unexplained Party Injuries, embarrassing photos, hangover etc. Now don't get me wrong, there are some serious downsides.
It's just that smoking seems to have some truly bizarre downsides. Maybe it's all about how much you smoke.
My understanding is that there's no safe level of drinking, that it's all bad for you. OTOH, I'd rather have a double single-malt, neat, than smoke pot, even if it is worse for me. IDK, I've just never had a huge interest in pot; it's okay, not great, and not worth the shit I'd get into in my state if I got busted with >27g.
The guy we buy our edibles from indeed uses a whole ounce in every batch. I only have a nibble and my husband eats half of whatever it is, muffin or brownie.
